Whenever Pita Pocket spies something he'd like to eat or drink, he says, "Mmm..." It's quite adorable, I assure you. However, when he wants to nurse, he screeches like a baby dinosaur and throws himself backwards across my lap. Not quite as adorable.
We've had all kinds of yummies going on here lately. Over the weekend I tried out this fantastic hummus recipe from The Toby Show. Good stuff, I tell ya. Even more fantastic was the homemade pita bread we ate it with (can you tell I'm a bread lovah?). The recipe is from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day:
It baked up soooo yummy:
I used the rest of the dough to make some pecan caramel sticky rolls:
You are a FOOL, I tell you, a FOOL if you don't buy that Artisan Bread book:
We've also been eating loads of peas fresh from the garden. We've had a great crop so far this year:
I also made some granola, which was my very first attempt at the stuff. Yeah, I feel really stupid for ever buying the super expensive bags of it from the grocery now. So easy, and soooo good on yogurt (and yes, I do know my ABCs, thankyouverymuch):
Oh my gosh those sticky rolls definitely look mmmmm....

Yeah, its even less cute when your 2 year old does it, let me tell you. And reaches right down your shirt on top of it. *sigh* I'm so done and clearly she's not.
Yummy! *goes to check out that book* The granola looks awesome, too and I've been meaning to try to make some.

oh, so many peas. my crop is not so great this year, although I make up for it in strawberries I suppose.

Sarah and Christy, I definately recommend buying the book! It is sooooo easy to make tons of different kinds of super delicious breads.
Christy, I can only imagine how annoying that must be. You should be so proud of yourself for nursing so long! I hope you have some success in reaching a happy nursing medium that works for both of you.

We had a ton of rain - this was definately our best year yet. I'd love to have your strawberries, though!
