Please eat your veggies!!

My daughters are amazing eaters ! I call them my little piggies because they always seem to be hungry ! (no they are not overweight at all) But when it comes to vegetables, I can't seem to get it into them lately. True I give them a vitamin supplement every morning with breakfast, you know those little fruity gummy bear like vitamins .. But I still think it is a must for my girls to learn to eat a variety of everything, including veggies! I personally love veggies, I would take them over fruit any day! .. So we are sitting at the kitchen table, ready to eat this amazing meal I prepared, slow-cooked-fall-off-the-bone ribs, with rice and green beans... NOM! So the girls are chomping down their food as usual, and then they both claim "Done now! All done mommy" ... Their whole portion of beans is still there, untouched. "guys please eat your beans, they're good!!" And I am a person who cooks with spices, my food is never fad, with no taste, including the green beans!... So after a bunch of begging, fake crying, bribing...my husband finally speaks up "Look take a bite like daddy...mmmmm!" And there goes the rest of their beans... Really !?! Why is it that daddy's always win !?! Don't get me wrong I get it, daughters are always daddy's little girl, but come on !!!! I tried, for the past 5 minutes getting them to even just lick the damn thing, and you just speak up and there goes the bean !? So anyways, my girls did eat their beans, and Im happy about it because they were damn good too, but next time daddy, please tell'em right away...!?

Let me introduce myself..

Well let me start by introducing myself. I am a young mother, self-employed nail technician, dog breeder, maid, nurse,chef,jack of all trade... Ouf! What ?! You don't believe me!? Well about you try and be in my shoes.. Being a mother is all of those things, and it is hard! But I wouldn't trade it for the world! I think most mothers would tell you the same thing. So I am a mother, therefore I am on call 24/7, and as if that wasn't enough I also have my own nail salon, I breed dogs, I have two parrots and between all of those tasks, including cleaning, doing the laundry, and putting the girls to bed at night, I love to take time for myself and do one of the things I enjoy the most.... yes you guessed it; Baking!!! I loveeeee baking! And I know most of you think I'm out of my mind, especially if you are a busy parent too . But what can I say I love it ! Nothing beats the girls fast asleep, the house cleaned, and then there it is the smell of freshly baked goodies! Isn't it comforting !? And then of course I always get a curious husband, coming out of his man cave asking what smells oh so heavenly ! ... So I enjoy cooking, I find it therapeutic in a way, it's my little moment, to create something so delicious it will bring a tear to your eye! No...it really will! So I'm not good at writing, but I still wanted to make a blog, to let people know about the joys of cooking, I will share here, stuff about my everyday life, from the new messes my daughters made to the very last ingredient to my new favourite recipe! I hope you all enjoy, take tips and learn to love baking. I will also share some of my work, puppies updates ect. Enjoy and feel free to comment, until next time.
