Year 2, Day 15
May 5
Sarah is wrapping up her cake decorating honor with the required "special occasion cake of her choice". Her instructor is having a birthday on Pathfinder night, so that's what she picked. Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate butter cream frosting - based on her instructor's favorite! I had her make it all from scratch too - might as well work on her baking honor while she's at it!
Year 2, Day 6
April 26
We had one of our Pathfinders over today to work on her Fire Building & Camp Cookery honor. We had to boil, fry, simmer, cook in foil, bake bread on a stick, and cook something in a reflector oven. So, in that order, we made eggs, potatoes, chili beans, corn on a knob, campfire biscuits, and individual pizzas.
This honor is a required one for the older group known as Voyager. But since it was at our house, and doesn't have any particular prerequisites, we let Hannah & Sarah tag along, too.

Day 351
April 7
I was right. These rainbow veggie skewers were SO good!
Red grape tomatoes
Red bell pepper
Orange bell pepper
Yellow bell pepper
Yellow squash
Green bell pepper
Green zucchini
Purplish red onion
Purple potatoes
Crimini (baby portobello) mushrooms (OK, so those don't fit the rainbow, but they were amazing!)
Marinated in olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and salt before skewering and roasting in the oven at 425 for about 17 minutes. So, so good!

Day 331
March 18
I try not to post *too* many food pictures, but this one had to be shared. I tried a vegan black bean burger recipe for the first time. Oh my goodness, were these ever tasty!
Here's the recipe. I added about 3 cloves of garlic instead of 1, and flipped them over after baking 8 minutes, and gave them about 5 more minutes. I also turned on the broiler for a couple minutes at the end. Everybody loved them, even Hannah. I'll definitely make them again.

Sarah was being silly at the grocery store. She claimed that she had never eaten eggplant before (I'm sure she's wrong), so she wanted her picture taken with the one we were buying. I'll be making Ratatouille for tomorrow evening. Yum!

Hannah baked some crusty bread to go with the vegetable soup she's making for dinner tonight. These two loaves will barely make it through dinner with our crowd, I'm sure!
Day 312
February 27
Sarah made a Triple Berry pie to have for Sabbath dinner tomorrow. It was hot in the house so we struggled a little with the crust, but since I'm writing this after the fact, I can tell you that it was delicious!

Charlie and I went on a date to Kaleidoscope Pizza. I couldn't believe the size of the Grasshopper Pie when it came to the table. And no, I didn't eat the whole thing!!

I'm so glad my girls make good choices when we go to buffet style restaurants. This is Hannah's plate. Sarah started with a salad, too.

Sarah made biscuits for dinner tonight. They came out beautifully. She has to stick her tongue out to concentrate, like her mama.
