Visit with Friends

Kailea and Ella stayed and played at a neighbors house while I did a bit of grocery shopping today. Here is a picture that was snapped of them sitting on the couch watching Beauty and The Beast. Kailea was completely absorbed in this movie - and even a bit scared - she's definitely scared of the Beast but cannot take her eyes off of him and wiggling in her chair at the same time from fear. It's kind of funny. The boys were not phased by it at all.

Ella kept hitting the younger boy and trying to knock his glasses off. Luckily that didn't bother him either. In fact, my friend said that at one point the boys were fighting over who got to sit next to Ella. They really adore her. I think older kids just like babies though. Because girls Ella's age are funny. They are exploring and knocking things around. Throwing mangoes on the floor. They can't really talk yet. And kids just think that's funny. Babies certainly are amusing.

were they playing dress up? Looks like the older boy is in a Karate outfit, and Kailea is tinkerbell. Cute!

no. but when Kailea got there the one boy had a cape on and Kailea had this fake plastic flower around her neck then she took it off and then the boy was holding it for her and then it was just funny to see him standing there in a cape with a flower and her in her little dress - so cute... and i'm curious to see who she will *like* another 10 years from now - you know... kids just like dressing up anyways.

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

Image
So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

Double Dipped Stroopwafels (Syrup Waffles)

Image
  I couldn't think of a better way to use an old egg carton then to have it hold yummy delicious double dipped stroopwafels. The idea is not really so new. Just a few months ago I saw Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen do the same thing with graham crackers for a quick holiday treat. The stroopwafel is not really equavalent to a graham cracker though... it is so much better. It's really one of the best cookies to come out of the Netherlands. You can find them everywhere here. Every grocery store carries them in many different price ranges. And there is a difference. That "E" brand that is really cheap - really sucks . The brand from the Lidl is a great price and one of the best tasting ones I've found. They have them made with real butter or with glucose-syrup. I personally like the real butter caramel flavored ones. Yum-yum. A stroopwafel is simply translated as syrup waffle. It's a thin waffle like cookie with syrup in the middle... much be

Belgian Day - Speculoos Hagel and Stoemp!

Image
You know what? Normally when I think of Belgium - I think of those cute little sea shell chocolates - those are so dang good. I always bring a few boxes of those when I go home to America. Everyone likes those a lot! You are instantly popular and everyone's best friend if you are carrying a box of those. But Belgium is also known for other things - like waffles and Brussels sprouts. And if they aren't known for Speculaas - they should be. Speculaas is a small spice cookie. It's very yummy and often served with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Lotus is all over it; it's a name brand and they got it made with the Speculaas. Not only do they know how to make a great little cookie. They've turned it into a creamy sandwich spread... and now into a crunchy sandwich sprinkle. I love it. It's brilliant. And you know what - it would work great as any cake or cupcake topper. Forget those disco sprinkles - Lotus Speculoos Hagel is it!   Luckily for living here, I don
