I really like to cook. I am the type of person who likes to follow a recipe exactly. As a result, most of what I cook turns out really good, but I have had some mishaps. Like the time I made salsa and the recipe said 3 Tbs. of salt. I thought that seemed like a lot of salt, but it was a large batch of salsa and so I put in 3 Tbs. Yeah, that was way too much salt. I had to throw all the salsa away. Even though I love to cook and bake, I don't like to make bread, much to my husbands dismay. Bread is his favorite food. It is just to fussy for me. You have to make sure the water is the right temperature to activate the yeast and not kill it. Then you have to let it rise, then shape it, and let it rise again, then finally you bake it. It just takes to long. And kneading, forget about it, I don't knead. So one day after a discussion about why I don't like to make bread my husband found a recipe for me on the internet. "The Easiest, Bestest, Foccacia Bread Ever!" I wanted to make him happy, because that is the kind of wife I am, so I agreed to try it. Guess what! It really is the easiest bread I have ever made, and it is so good. I make it all the time now. So, I decided that I should share it with all of you. You can have yummy fresh bread tonight in under an hour and with very little work. Here is the link: www.recipezaar.com/The-Easiest-Bestest-Focaccia-Bread-Ever-27968. I just put all the ingredients into my Kitchen Aid mixer and let it do the work (remember, I don't knead). And, I don't use as much olive oil and cheese on the top as the recipe says. I hope you enjoy it.
Another one of Randy's favorite foods is jalapeños. On Saturday we were at Costco and they were sampling jalapeño poppers. The box was a little pricey, but he had a craving, so again he turned to the internet to find a recipe. I bought the ingredients for him that night. I was thinking that I would make them for him the next day, but he really wanted them, so while I took care of the baby he and Kyle got busy in the kitchen. I was very impressed. They did a good job. Their poppers turned out good, not as good as the ones you buy, but good. Overall, Randy decided they are worth the money you pay for them because they were a lot of work. Randy is always begging for jalapeño cheese bread, a combination of his two favorite foods. Next time I will have to tell him to find a recipe and go for it, now that I know he can follow a recipe so well :0)
So, my baby Adam is seven months old and he doesn't like food. He nurses great, but he has no interest in solid food. I have tried different food, different times of day, before nursing, after nursing, in between nursings. He just won't open his mouth. He sticks out his tongue and gives it a little taste and that is about all I can get him to do. He is the total opposite of Nathan who loved food, he gobbled up everything I gave him. Maybe he just isn't ready. Maybe I nurse him too much. I don't know what to do, any suggestions. Maybe I just shouldn't worry about it.
