Hi All,
We are here sitting in my daughter's room and finally did it! We created our blog together. Not sure if anyone but us will see this or even care, but it's for us and we're proud!
After seeing the movie, "Julie and Julia" we got talking about , "how wouldn't it be fun if we did something similar. " We love to bake together and actually volunteer together at an organization for sick kids and bake 2-3 times a month. We definitely have desserts down to a fine art, she calls, "The Philadelphia Cheesecake cookbook" her bible.
Now that she is a teenager, she keeps asking if I can teach her how to cook. Things like roasts and fancy dishes, veggies, soups, etc. I think she seems to think that she's moving out soon and will have to know this stuff. As her mother, I'm thinking she's rushing things and has all the time in the world. I am not looking forward to the day she leaves, contrary to many mother/teenage daughter relationships of horror, ours is pretty amiable. I love her and she knows it! That's why, before time runs out on us, we are gonna do this instead of saying we should have done that.
We thought it would be hilarious to find a cookbook written by someone sharing our last name. But after much research, found none, except some series called" The Hannah Swenson' mysteries. The author wasn't even a Swenson! Then we found, Heidi Swanson's 101 cookbooks website and well she has hundreds of recipes that she has created or found. Plus, gluten free and vegetarian recipes. My daughter was ecstatic, she likes the idea of going vegetarian and I don't mind broadening my horizons. We are also hoping to try out recipes from other works, maybe even a few Julia Child ones.
So, without further ado, this upcoming Thursday we will attempt our hands at creating the Broccoli Cheddar soup and the Red Pesto Ravioli. Both are from her vegetarian section. We'll let u know how they turn out.
Bye from Missy and Mom
