Ok so I have been doing a little of both cooking and baking. More cooking to be healthy and got inspired by some dinner's at my sister and brother-in-law house. Delicious food, by the way!!! So I baked a pumpkin pie in November for thanksgiving. I made a week or so ago a dish including: gnocchi, sage, asparagus, mushrooms, artichokes in a roasted pepper cream sauce. It was delicious and healthy. (above picture)

Today I made a mushroom risotto with steamed asparagus, red bell pepper, potatoes and fried chicken with an Italian seasoning. Topped with cheese. It was sooooo tasty today. Esp with the cold weather coming in. I found this all tasted good and not heavy and healthy to eat. I am open to other suggestions and recipes :) Might bake later too :)

Inner Sicilian

Last night early morning made some cannolis for my brother out of request. I realized after trying to fry the first one that ok this is why people buy premade shells, haha not easy but tasted good. :)

I know i am terrible at keeping this updated.. lets see last month made some red velvet cake balls yum.

This month made a baked mac&cheese. that pic will be up soon, promise.

Baking something you dont know is fun! I know right sounds weird but its true. I find there is always something that I havent tried to fix or invent recipe wise. Its fun sometimes it doesnt work and that is ok just have to change the recipe a litte to get it right. So I made last month. Glutenfree/veganish lemon bars for my sister and made these special cupcakes that my other sister requested. Both recipes were interesting and need work.

Instead of Baking today Cooking, ya I said it

Today I decided to make a somewhat healthy lunch.

Pasta with mushrooms, red and yellow peppers, spinach, marinated artichokes, mustard seeds, a little salt, and a sage butter sauce.

It's delicious and slightly healthy too. Inspired by a pasta dish made by my sister.

Green Tea Cupcakes

Ok so they were requested by a friend of mine to make these and green tea cookies. My friend loves anything green tea. So I made the cupcakes again bc I have the day off again for the 3rd time in the row. I put a almond flavored buttercream on them not too bad. I kinda like it. My only issue with this cupcake is the top bakes too quick so its is sorta crunchy in away. I wonder if it is the sugar in the cupcake? I dont know. Thats what I like about baking is taking a recipe and ripping a new one it might or might not work but you dont know til you try.

Snow Day

So, I called my older sister to chat but to also get ideas of what to do on my day off. I cant stand days off. She gave me many great ideas. So, I took the ideas and run with it. I painted my nails and found a recipe to modify baked bread that tastes actually good. Also she said i should create a blog about my baking stuff so here I am.

Yeast Bread with the following
-buttermilk, assorted shredded cheese, basil, rosemary, dill.. it is actually good. Here is a pic of it.


I think I might go a get eggs for some green tea cookies and cake... thanks meg :)
