Playing in the kitchen....



************
Tajin Cucumbers
1 cucumber, sliced 
Juice of 1/2 lime
 ½ teaspoon of Tajin
Pinch of salt, optional
Combine the cucumber slices, lime juice, Tajin and salt in a zip bag and refrigerate for 1 hour, mixing occasionally to evenly coat.  Best served chilled, but you can also enjoy it at room temperature.

Callan and I made "egg mice" and he discovered he likes hard boiled eggs!


Egg Mice
Prepare hard boiled eggs and cool. Slice in half and place face down on a platter.  Make a slice across the smaller end and use thinly sliced radishes for ears (we only had strawberries and improvised!).  Poke a hole in the opposite end and insert a chive for a tail.  Use a food marker for eyes.

Zucchini and Carrot Puffs


This time I used less cheese - Not as tasty!!

I made Brownie Hearts, using a silicone mold....


...and mini Brownie Bites for my sweet tooth!


I made a few mini Brownie Birthday Cups:


I wrapped them up and delivered them!


Then I made blueberry mini loaves for a "tailgating shopping" party" at Mackenzie-Childs in Aurora, NY:

This dinner was delish - Veggies and Tomato-Basil noodles!



Do you enjoy playing in the kitchen?

  2. It all looks yummy and beautifully presented. I know Callan has fun spending time with you. Lucky little boys!
    I do like to bake, but it's so hot this summer that I'm not in the kitchen much.
