A weekend of pies

For some reason, I was inspired to do some baking this weekend. On Saturday, Mich's brother Nathan and sister-in-law Sarah came over with the kids for birthday dinner for Sarah - Mich made French onion soup, and I made a coconut cream pie:



It should have cooled more, it was a little soupy. Yummy, though...

On Sunday, my America's Test Kitchen Family Baking book tempted me to make a bacon, Camembert and potato tart. Great thyme aroma, and I added some asparagus for a little color:



Delicious, but seriously full of calories...

Healthy requests

We do try to feed the kids pretty healthy, but sometimes it comes down to mac & cheese and chips. Made me feel proud this morning, then, when Julien asked for a "veggie omelette" for breakfast, and then Sofia said she wanted broccoli soup for dinner. Good kids.
