We had our usual Sunday Night Pizza Party last night. This was a special one though, because Aodhan got his very own mini pizza. He didn't seem to care too much about what was on his pizza, but was more interested in using the whole wheat crust to help his painful gums. It was a great meal, as usual made by Kevin. He is a pizza pro and spends the entire day getting his veg roasted to perfection before getting started on his dough. What a guy! We also made some really nice Apple Sauce yesterday, which I had for breakie this morning - much to Aodhan's delight.
Tonight's dessert, Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, which followed a dinner of whole wheat pasta topped with the left over veg from last night, was in one word: heaven. My version of Wheeler's Pumpkin Ice Cream (from Vegan Scoop - great book), sent me into ice cream ecstacy - really. I have never tasted anything quite like it. Visually it looked like, well, baby poop. It smelled just like a pumpkin pie, and it was oh so tasty. Really, I can't recommend enough giving your ice cream maker the luxury of experiencing making this recipe. I could (and just might) eat it all night long.
Well, off to cuddle a feverish baby with hopes that his teeth come through this week and he can have a little relief before which ever milestone he is about to tackle next. Poor little vegan.

He's so adorable, your little vegan!
I have the Vegan Scoop too and a can of pumpkin in the cupboard..maybe I'll give this a try. The ice cream maker has been gathering dust for a few months so it's long overdue!
it is just one thing after another with babies isn't it - but at least there is so much joy along the way - I tried pancakes with Sylvia today when we ran out of bread she would eat but now I think I should have tried pizza - what a waste of a cool day in summer!
Your baby looks like a minature weight lifter. He is the cutiest baby. God Bless him.
