Beans and Other Green Things

As much as I like to pretend to throw down in the kitchen, it's hard to get creative with the cuisine when your biggest fan is a fastidious toddler who won't eat anything green. No sweet peas, no green apples, and definitely no asparagus. {Tasty as they may be}.
Scouring the grocery store aisle yesterday for a clever vegetable disguise, a recipe came to me from way back. Probably an old southern dish, it calls for fresh sweet corn, a drained can of french cut green beans and a pat of butter all in a pot with just a little water.
It was just as good as I remember. And Hayes ate every bean on his plate. {Green as they were}.
Here are some other green things Hayes is into these days...

A bedtime favorite





Cedi pinky ring. That's one of MY faves. Thanks Khalym!

Babar the Elephant Man

I can barely recall the character Babar from storybooks when I was a child, so I most certainly was not a fan. Consequently, Hayes knows nothing of the elephant...king, is it? But yesterday when a life-size Babar showed up at the neighborhood bookstore for storytime, I didn't know how creepy these things can be. Remind you of anything?...

Hey, Nice Hat!

I picked up this chapeau by 7 A.M. Enfant in Park Slope on one of those days that starts out warm and gets progressively colder as the day goes on. I love it! It saved me from looking like an unfit mother. And it's fly enough for the kid too.
