I had these lofty ideas of my summer break with the kids, that the boy and I would spend leisurely afternoons in the kitchen while the foodie bebe napped. Of course, it turned out that we’ve spent many days rushing from camp to story time to the pool, and I’m lucky to throw together a quick dinner most nights. But today, we made time for a trip to the store (between the dentist and baseball) and the boy and I finally baked something sweet — a peanut butter pie. For fellow blogger Jennifer Perillo and the unexpected reminder that life is often far too short. Read her post (with tissues handy), and bake something with the people you love this weekend.

That is so great. Not enough people spend time with their kids, or grand kids this way. They are also learning and being exposed to something they might otherwise not be. I think cooking with children is great quality time and you might have a future chef on your hands, that peanut butter pie looks beautiful!

Wow, peanut butter cream pie, I think I’m in heaven.
Cooking with your kids is definitely something that can be enjoyed anytime. It’s the little things.

Ooh, another foodie blog and a locavore one at that! 🙂 I just discovered you and I think I’m going to have fun checking the blog out. I’ll pass on the peanut butter pie because of allergies, but my 4 year old really wants to make apple pancakes tomorrow.

I love those wonderful nights when the stars align and you magically have 45 minutes to actually do something nice with the kids instead of running around like a headless chicken. The food looks great too!

What a pretty pie! Too pretty to eat but it looks really yummy. It’s great that you and son can share some great bonding time while doing something so productive 🙂

Whoopie Pies are always fun to make at home as well. We always made those as kids, I’m hoping to do that with my daughter very shortly.

That looks soooo yummy!! Unfortunately I have never been able to bake anything so have to rely on my sister when i get cravings.

Cooking with your child is one of the best ways to bond with them.The joy and excitement on their faces once the cakes are cooked cannot be traded for anything else under the sun

There is nothing more enjoyable than baking with my kids. I have an 8 year old boy and a 20 year old girl and they absolutely love it. That peanut butter pie looks amazing. Will have to try it on April vacation.

That is true. Our lives are short and every moment should be cherished. Like Jennifer, I too had lost a dear person in my life. Good for you guys that you can channel your emotions into cooking. Thank you for the link to Jennifer’s blog too.
