Onion soup au gratin

It's soon Xmas ! That's the great advantage of December and Winter.... but the weather is also very very cold while it's very interesting to walk outside in order to buy Xmas decoration, visit Xmas market, play in the snow .... and eating a great hot onion soup au gratin at home.... is a good thing !



Yum-Yum !

Pumpkin...

... with it, you can celebrate Halloween or simply eating a great Pumpkin Bisque .

My husband usually doesn't like pumpkin ... but he loved both of these recipes.

I invented the first recipe while the second one is coming directly from a restaurant in Philly...

Mushrooms ...

... a few leaves of spinach, a few leaves of Swiss chard, escalope of turkey ,potatoes and you'll get....



..... a delicious Hachis turkey with mushrooms on a bed of Swiss chard !

A personnal recipe inspired by mushrooms I didn't want to cook with an omelette ...

Oups, I forgot ....

Alex eats also .... wax beans and French beans...

Tomorrow ...

... Alexander is going at his new nanny : Annie !

And I'll soon be able to find a job and to work again.

At the beginning, he'll stay at hers only during the morning, then during the morning and lunch and afterwards ... all the day 4 days a week.

Several times a month he will take part to some activities with other kids and nannies.... and of course, I'll describe them to you...

What else about Alex ???
Since a couple of days, Alex is able to stand up alone ... when he is in his bed, in his playpen, in front of the sofa, in front of a chair ...

He is not able to walk... that's obvious, he is not even 8 months yet ! (7 months and 17 days) ...

What else about food ?
Currently, he's not very found of fruits. He wants to eat them only in his nursing bottle with some milk.
On the other hand.... he loves vegetables ! Now, he eats .... carrots, potatotes, zucchinies, spinach, leeks, Swiss chards, tomatoes ... of course cooked and mashed.

I don't know how the weather is at yours therefore I send you this warm sunset over the beach of Ste Anne (French West Indies)...

Today ....

... Baby Alex ate his first 'real meal' which were .... mashed carrots !
