Vegie Sticks and These Eyes ...

Phew! It was just one of those days that I am happy has an end to it. Too much happening and trying to make it happen all at once is not easy. To add to it Soeren was a bag of wildness and just could not stay put. Hands and fingers everywhere, 100 questions a minute and running around 100 miles an hour!! I guess getting him to bake brownies with me was not the perfect way to keep him put. I won't go into it ... I was glad that the neighbor's kids came around and her went off to play for an hour.

Maybe it was the vegie sticks that gave him all that extra power. The lunchbox was packed today. Two of those really tasty vegie sticks, with a rye bread sandwich of cream cheese. A container filled with plums, a banana and some cranberries. In the back we have Apple Strudel from our bakery. I got a huge thumbs up for this one today.

Here he is:



Don't let these eyes fool you. There is plenty of cheek behind the innocence!

Adult Variation:
Adding the sticks into a roll and then spreading some hot sauce on it would make it really delicious. If you have another free container then take a bit of vanilla sauce with the apple strudel or if you can treat yourself to a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

For all those who emailed and requested the recipe for the pesto spirals mentioned here is now up on WFLH.

I am off to hit the bath tub and relax. Take it easy.
