I know Dylan really enjoys something Addi and I make when he asks, “You made this? Like from scratch or did it come from a mix or something” That means, “Wow. It actually tastes good. It must be from a mix.” Cooking and baking is a work in progress for me. We have been married for 5 years and probably at least one out of every five meals I make is not edible! As I tell Addi almost daily when she is working on writing her letters, “Practice makes perfect!” So I keep trying, learning and force feeding my husband my creations.
Dylan asked his famous question twice last night. I made Tortilla Soup and Soft Pretzels. Both were warm and delicious! Yah, me (and my sou-chef Addi). And yes, we made them both. I followed a recipe, kneaded the dough and everything! Thanks for keeping me honest honey! It might not always taste perfect, but I promise not to let you starve.
The recipes I choose are not difficult by any means. When I happen upon a particularly fun recipe for Addi I will share them. This soft pretzel recipe was easy and the dough was soft enough for Addi to work with and create her own fun pretzels.
