Finally Food

Suzy, I haven't forgot about your recipe book, I promise! I just keep forgetting to take pictures of my food, so this assignment is good to get me going. For now just one recipe... Chicken Cordon Bleu!

New experiments

I haven't made either of these things before. But they both got a good response in my household.



This was Meatball Soup. Recipe I got out of Jessica Seinfelds cookbook. So kinda healthy. It's suppose to have fresh grated Parmesan Cheese on top. Erik did the shopping so he bought Parmesan Cheese in a can... oops but it still was good.



These were just fun to make. It was a regular cinnamon bun recipe that I made. Just rolled up mini cinnabuns. Cooked some on a cookie sheet and others in mini cupcake cups. Doubled the frosting recipe to cover all the cinnabuns. The one's I cooked on a cookie sheet, once cooled, got a sucker stick inserted to get the appearance of a lollypop when frosted. You can't tell from the pic but there is also fun sugar colored sprinkles on them. Due to the amount this recipe makes, I gave a bunch of these away as Valentine gifts. This would be super fun for kids to help with I would think.

P.S. Don't judge me on the picture I took. The thought accured to me after I had selected all the pretty and perfect one's and handed them out to people already. So my picture is of my rejects :)

Food glorious FOOD!







Have I mentioned that I can't follow a recipe. The twice baked potato's recipe was given to me by Christie and ... nope I didn't follow it. The fruit dip was given to me by my sister in law Julie... and again you guessed it, I didn't follow it. Same for the egg rolls, sweet and sour, and the taco ring. I either add extra things or I don't have everything the recipe calls for, so... I just, kind of, well lets say make due. They all turned out FABULOUS and I will be putting them in the cookbook unless Christie wants to put hers in.
