Bake me a cake as fast as you can

I have been going crazy with the cooking lately. I think because I am trying to get the kid to eat something. So I have been really researching healthy foods and things. The past two weekends I have baked up a storm.

Here are Anzac Bisquits.

Pitas

Mediterranean Breakfast Bake which included the pitas, feta cheese, canadian bacon and a tomato cucumber salad. jj said that it reminded him of his church service in Russia and the food from there.

I also made rolls, but forgot to take a picture of them. They were heavenly. But this is what the yeast left in the bread mixer. Yeast is such a weird and cool thing. I also made a pineapple strawberry trifle and forgot to show that. It was dessert for Mother’s Day.

I am having an affair

Meet my newest love interest. Mr. Bento.

I packed my first lunch today for jj in it. I was so excited. I don’t know if he cared. But I love the idea of organizing food and making it pretty like the Japanese do.

In clockwise order: asparagus, homemade pitas and Anzac Biscuits (let me know if anyone wants the recipe, they are so good and almost no sugar), orange slices and lettuce, Diana’s Chicken and Sweet Corn Fritters. I got that recipe from First Meals, it is a cook book with recipes for kids. Of course, my kid will not eat them. In the center is a little bit of sesame ginger dressing.

There is a whole underground Mr. Bento Society.
