Double...something

What's the opposite of "whammy"? Well, my HUG and I scored a huge double this weekend with daddy. Being the early riser that he is (and therefore I am), we were up with the sun with very little to do. Daddy was sleeping...so what better way to keep a toddler occupied? It's time to bake! Thanks to the crazy sale on blueberries at the store, our fridge was full of them. The decision was easy: Blueberry Bread.

I had never made this before, but was not really into the idea of making muffins. I have a great B&B cookbook that I always count on for breakfast recipes...and it never disappoints.

So my little chef and I got to work! (Boo--I'm having technical difficulties with getting my photos to upload correctly. Just so you know, we are not sideways...we bake just like you. Right side up.)

HUG is the BEST stirrer around. He is also Quality Control Officer #1.

Yes, I allow my child to eat raw dough. Sue me. You lose.

Here is the bread! It looks and tastes just like a huge blueberry muffin! I even snuck in some whole wheat flour!

Oh, HUG is also my clean up crew! Aren't his PJ's the best?

After all this baking and a trip to the pool, sweet sweet nap time ensued.

My night to cook

Yes, I bake.

I also cook too! Mostly, I do the homey things like spaghetti, stir fry, soup, simple things like that. And often times I team up with my husband who is an amazing cook. We have "fancy dinner" most Friday nights, and this time, it was MY turn to cook.

We try to eat a lot of fish, so I decided on salmon. And in honor of emptying our freezer, I decided to make use of the puff pastry in there...

The result was highly successful: Salmon en croute with creamy dill sauce.

This is the raw picture...

 

 

 

And the finished product!
