Harpers first birthday

I cant believe my little girl is ONE already! I hate the cliche that it all goes by in a blink of an eye, but its so true.  I seriously feel like I was just pregnant with her!  She's grown up so much though!  She makes us so proud!  She started walking at 10 months and has kept us on our toes ever since!  Shes a total mommas girl... I really cant even leave the room without her melting down.  Oddly enough though, she doesnt do too badly with babysitters.  Shes an amazing sleeper!  She knows that once shes put in her crib, that its sleep time, and she closes her eyes and goes right to sleep.  Sweet girl!  What an angel!  Shes still nursing daily, but we are weaning.  She never took a bottle and HATED formula.  Now that shes super into big kid food, shes wanting me less and less.

Apple Crostada

This is by far my FAVORITE dessert EVER!!! Seriously, if you make it right, you will be celebrated as the best cook ever, and its really easy! The key is to make sure you don't substitute any ingredients for something else! Especially delish served with ice cream! Apple Crostada 10 tablespoons butter, cut up 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar 1 egg yolk 1/2 cup creme fraiche ( I have only found this at Trader Joes so far) 4 to 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored and sliced into eighths 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons cream In a mixer with the paddle attachment, mix 8 tablespoons of the butter, flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar until sandy. In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolk and the creme fraiche. Add the blended egg yolk and crème fraiche to the flour mixture and mix until barely combined. Form into a disk and chill. Meanwhile toss the sliced apples with 1/2 cup of the sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough to...
