Ummm… well… food, mostly

Last week I went out and bought myself a food processor.  I’ve been wanting one forever, and I finally just decided it was time!  The good blade for chopping and what not on my Magic Bullet bit the dust (I haven’t gotten around to looking at replacing just the blade), and I needed something I could make hummus with!  The Magic Bullet really was terrible for making hummus, but not quite as terrible as my blender, so that’s what I had used.

Anyway, I bought a little 3 cup Cuisinart, and so far I like it very much!

And it was a BREEZE to make hummus.

I wanted to make some for the first week of school to send with Joanna (along with homemade crackers!).  Side story: Joanna and I were at Kohl’s buying the food processor, and I was looking at the different options.  I said to Joanna (really just thinking out loud), “How many ounces are in a cup?”  And she answered with no hesitation, “eight.”  What?!  I think it was a fluke, but it was so precious!  I laughed and gave her a high five.  She said, “Was I right?”  Love that girl!

We were low on taco seasoning, so I mixed up another batch but took a picture before I shook it up.  It’s so pretty!

Not as pretty, but soooo tasty!

We grilled out (in the bee-you-tee-full weather) some chicken and veggies last week – yum!

James had a dirt/stick/leaf appetizer.

This little girl is just so pretty!  And very addicted to this dress-up combo right now:

We had just watched some Blues Clues, and Joanna is sitting in her “Thinking Chair!”

Don’t you love a man cooking dinner?!!

More posts to come in the next day or so as I catch up.  Hopefully my kids will stop doing super cute or momentous things for a little while so I can catch up.  :)
