a yummy sunday

We had such yummy food on Sunday I couldn't help but take pictures!  We also really enjoyed making the food together which makes it fun and memorable too.  I like starting my posts off with a picture, so here's a good one to get you looking!  ;)

***************************************************************************************************************************

To start off the day we made SMOOTHIES, which everybody loves.  They are super fun and easy to make and the kids pitch in on this one every time.  I am the head smoothie-maker though.  :)  We get this awesome bag of frozen fruit from Costco called Spectrum Blend...it has peaches, white peaches, blueberries, strawberries, honeydew, and pineapple.  We always add a banana, a little milk, some sugar (not too much), some low fat vanilla yogurt (a few big spoonfuls) and this time we added some apple and a little of our Kern's Nectar Guava juice.  They were fabulous to say the least!  Pete made us rolls with sausage patties and cheese.  MMMM!!

For dinner Pete and I made Chicken Pot Pie.  There are several steps so we like to make it together, it goes faster.  It's not as bad as you may think though because we just use those Pillsbury pie crusts and they really are good!  We use carrots, celery, onions, and chicken in ours.  Everyone pretty much likes this one, although Taylor picks out the celery.  Not a lot of pictures of this one...we actually make two so we have leftovers.  It's soooo good!  I do the chopping while Pete does the cooking part.  As you can see, I made the beautiful heart....on the other one I made an "H".  I know I am so gourmet!  :)

Then we made our Strawberry Shortcakes for dessert!  These are super delicious!  This time we just used store bought whip cream, which was still great, but Pete's homemade is really better.   I chopped up the strawberries while Pete made the dough.

I really loved taking pictures with my cute polka dot dishes...I am sure you will see more of them in the future!  :)

Couldn't leave out this picture of Austin having a sink bath, I know I posted a very similar one a while back, but it just makes me laugh the way he sticks out his tongue to taste the water!  He has been getting frequent kitchen sink baths lately since we still have one area of the yard that is all dirt!  I hate it!  Can't wait to get some grass planted for the summer!

The End!

YUMMY! YUMMY! It all looks so tasty. What a cute picture of Austin too! I remember your post awhile back of him in the sink. Looks like something he really enjoys. :) I should try that with Ethan since it seems to be a fight to get him in the bath lately. One week he loves it and the next it's a battle?????

Yum, I totally want your strawberry shortcake! Homemade are so much better then store bought! The smoothies and the pot pie look delish too... we were just saying tonight that by the end of this trip we will be SO ready for some homemade food! I love good dinners!

p.s thanks for calling! Sorry I missed it!

So, I made smoothies for breakfast this morning and Madison asked if I could put it in the fridge until she got home from school. I'm not going to take it too personally, but think I will pick up a bag of that fruit next time I'm at Costco! I want your potpie recipe!

I love summer. I think that there are the most amazing things to eat, create, and bake. Strawberry shortcake is one of my all time favorite desserts. I planted a ton of strawberry plants so I can enjoy them all summer long.
