Yum.

I've been on a bit of a baking kick the past week or so.

I saw a recipe for homemade goldfish crackers, and it looked so easy I thought I should give it a whirl. I've never even thought of making my own crackers, but it was really simple. The most time-consuming part was the rolling and cutting. I don't have a fishy cookie cutter, but I did find a small star at Grandma's house that was the perfect size.

If I make them again, I'll follow the advice I read in the comments section of the blog/recipe, to roll the dough into a log, freeze it and then slice the crackers.

Cora and Violet both loved our cheesy stars, and so did Stace and I!

Last week, Ralphs had a great sale on raspberries, with boxes for $1.

We picked up four boxes, which went into two batches of raspberry blondies (think brownies, but blonde - no dark chocolate - you can see just a few of them left in the last photo) and one round of raspberry lemon muffins (not shown).

I also made granola bars, a double-batch of chocolate pancakes (the leftovers are in the freezer, and are great to grab for Violet on busy mornings) and banana chocolate chip muffins (not shown).
