Look what I did!

I was reading a friend's blog the other day and grew increasingly jealous about how her job is essentially cooking for her husband and her daughter and blogging about it (I said "essentially," not "exclusively").  I started reminiscing about how much fun I had back when I was making Beau's homemade baby.  You know...all that time ago...like, THIS time last year.  Anyway, I loved how I knew exactly what was going into his food.  No preservatives.  No extra sugar.  Nothing I couldn't pronounce. 
Lately it's just been so much easier to pour a bowl of goldfish or crack open a pack of Teddy Grahams.  But I thought, heck...let's give this a try.  So, I tried my hand at making homemade fruit leather. 
The first try was a bust.  The oven was too hot and I cooked it for too long.  But the next try...YUMMY!  Beau LOVED it and asked for, "more, please."  Yep, that's right.  He said "PLEASE." 
I wanted to include a picture of him enjoying his new treat; however, they were devoured before I had a chance to!
