bakes and braids

Who needs cookbooks when you have blogs!!!!! I think Liss is my new mealplanner! Tonight I decided to try her creamy tuna tortellini bake….another winner! It’s like tuna macaroni but instead of regular pasta you use tortellini (I used spinach and ricotta agnoletti) and add leek and mushroom and then lastly top with breadcrumbs as well as cheese! It was delicious, everyone ate it all up and loved it! I actually used more pasta than the recipe so mine isn’t looking as creamy as Liss’ version but it was still beautiful!

And totally unrelated to dinner, I’ve also decided I need to get a bit fancier with Keira’s hair. Here is my first attempt at a braid over the top….its not perfect but she loves it, in fact you need to drag her away from the mirror. At the moment she’s a single lady….you know ‘all the single ladies, all the single ladies’ and is telling me we need to buy her a single ladies dress so she can really be one…..hilarious!

If you need some hair inspiration I’ve found some pretty cute hair blogs…..now be warned that some are totally OTT with ribbon and stuff going every which way but the basic braids, ponytails and updo’s are gorgeous.

  2. Yummy and gorgeous – that’s a brilliant braid for a first go – Keira has just the right hair for it too!

  3. I’m envious – I wish I could make great stuff like this for my kids. Oh well, maybe I should just make it for myself!!!

  5. Bake looks yummy and the braids are awesome. The girls love having their done

  6. Keira’s hair looks beautiful for a first try! The pasta recipe sounds great, might have to take a peek!

  7. Cute hair. I often do two braids like that on either side and then draw them into a pony tail for my daughter.

  8. I just checked out the hair dos on the blog you found. Hilarious!! I don’t think I’ll be trying those on a school morning.
