cherry kick

Saturday morning we went to the farmers market where I was very much so taken by all the pretty cherries.

My favorite stand featured fresh cherry juice, jam, concentrate, pie mix and dried (but juicy) tart cherries.

I purchased the dried cherries and have been loving them. I eat them every morning in my oatmeal. I made some caramels and have been mixing them in those for an extra special treat. And I snack on them like crazy. They are my new candy.

Also I purchased 3 lbs. of fresh cherries which is actually hard to eat quickly so I turned them into a pie. Yum.

I was very proud of myself for doing this. I'm trying to get back into making good dinners most nights. I was kind of hoping Dashing Boy would be very impressed by it and be thinking to himself, "wow what an amazing wife." :)

Here is how I accomplished such a task with my very snugly baby who wanted to stay close:

Baby got flour on his head a couple of times in the baking process and we sang the song from Waitress a bunch of times. It has become one of our favorites.
