This week’s rotational real food meal plan and agenda focus on getting ready for school and celebrating a very special two year old!!
It’s the moment I’ve been dreading…my baby girl is turning two in a week! We are celebrating this Saturday. That means it’s baking time!
Busy In The Kitchen.
Last year she was still in pretty rough shape, and we were figuring out what she could and couldn’t eat. So for the first time I had to skip making a birthday cake and gave her popsicles instead.
But not this year! I’m so excited to make my sweet girl a special birthday cake. So that will take up quite a bit of my time in the kitchen. My projects include:
- chocolate zucchini cake
- chocolate graham crackers
- frosting
- render lard
- teff crackers
- pumpkin yogurt
- muffins (maybe)
- banana ice cream (maybe)
School Is Starting Soon.
I’m putting the finishing touches on our school room. We are so excited to start the new school year. But my oldest was sick all last week. Instead of starting this week I’m going to wait until she’s totally back to full health before we jump in. Maybe after the birthday celebration and multiple doctor appointments we’ll officially start.
