Not again...

I had every intention of blogging the other night after we tried the new fruit pouch flavor but sick babies and husband kept me away.  Plus I was writing a grant for an incredible professional development experience this summer - a literary tour of London and Edinburgh.  I submitted everything Thursday and now will have to wait till mid or late March before I hear anything.

On to baby news.  The boys have three new favorite foods well not really new foods but rather foods they like to pick up and eat: butter beans, pears, and cheese tortellini.  Tedder is like a vacuum when there's butter beans around while Jack prefers pears, and they both enjoyed the tortellini.

* Store bought frozen butter beans.  Heated to a bowl in enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil Reduce and simmer 30-35 minutes.  Served warm or cold - my boys love them.

* Canned pears in light syrup. Sliced into bit size pieces.

* Store bought frozen cheese tortellini (no sauce).  Brought salted water to a boil and dropped in the pasta.  Cooked will they floated.  Strained, cooled, and cut into quarters.  Easy to pick up.  Plus I saved money because the frozen pasta (16 oz.) cost as much as one pre-packaged baby pasta meal.  Cha-ching for me!
