Recent Culinary Adventures

As you can see from a few recent posts, I have been spending more time in the kitchen. This is for many reasons:

1) Baby needs to put on a little bit of weight... nothing alarming, just at his last doctor's visit, we discovered that he isn't growing as well as he was previously... so we are going to see if we can get him to eat more. He's just NOT interested in food. Never really was! So, I have been experimenting with different home-made foods to give him more of a nutritional diet. Hubby laughs at me because I have started hiding beans (ground to a powder) in all kinds of baked goods, like the muffins I made today! :-)

2) Spiderman needs to be put on a more restrictive diet. He is having serious allergy issues as well as some behavioral stuff we're hoping that a more natural diet with less additives/preservatives and sugar will help to correct.

3) My life is just too crazy and hectic to try and cook dinner every night. It's just not happening! I teach piano/voice lessons four days a week now and I am teaching four Kindermusik classes a week also... not to mention all the other things we have going on. When to cook?

So... that's why I have turned into a crazy cooker person; who got three cookbooks in the mail today about slow cookers, $5 meals, and super baby foods.... I am sure I will be blogging about my findings!
