This meal came the day after the snowpocalypse 2009. Ned and I were looking to eat healthily, like we always do on Sunday evening to try and make up for the weekend of chips and frozen pizzas...

This challenge I saved for the end of the month! The reason you see, is that I wanted my two younger cousins to help me decorate it! So the Monday before X-mas I made the dough, Tuesday night I rolled it out and baked it and then Christmas eve it was decorated and constructed...

This year I wanted to make christmas cookies like I always do, but I wanted to kick it up a notch! And so I decided to get some awesome packaging (hell yeah paper mart) with very glittery ribbon, which decided to fall off when I was tying it and while everyone was handling their packages...

When Martina, our new German friend, announced she would be having Ned’s lab unofficial Christmas party, I bounced onto the opportunity to make dessert! I went searching for something with fruit and something very wintery- and found this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. ...

Our friends Ryan and Lea host a Griswald Family Christmas party ever year and the only requirement is that you wear an ugly Christmas sweater!!! I wanted to bring some funny appetizers, so I searched white trash party and the two creations below were included in that search...

Well hello blog, a week and change has been too long… but alas I am back so thank gosh! So this month was hosted by Tracy- (first time!) and boy did we have a wonderful time! ...

Even though my roomate Jen and soon to be member of our family (CONGRATS BOBBY AND JEN!!! ) had Thanksgiving dinner at her house with her huge family, she was able to make it over for the dessert gathering at Auntie Martha’s house and she brought these!! ...

So this year I had two thanksgiving dinners! The first was at my grandma’s house with most of my mom’s family and abuelita basically prepared everything and I got to do the waldorf salad. The second thanksgiving was prepared by my Daddy and I in my kitchen! We...

Well this was Round 1 of this meal and two out of the three things were better on this night than on Round 2 night, but one thing stood out- Real Simple’s simple way of cooking a pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto is too simple and kinda tasteless! ...

Since the holiday season is now upon us, it’s time for more eating folks!! This meal happened approximately two weeks ago after a nice long day spent in the kitchen, much like the day I spent on Friday with my papa for our own Thanksgiving meal! ...

The November 2009 Daring Bakers Challenge was chosen and hosted by Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives...

I have alot to be thankful for this year, the fact that I am now fully able to walk on my left knee, the fact that all of my family and friends are healthy, the fact that I have Neddy back in my life and in a good way, and one special thing is that I have these wonderful friends that I met through...

Ah- ha! DESSERT!! It has been so long since I made you….and since I brought you into work so I could be the dessert fairy! ...

So here we go back to cooking! Well this is simple cooking, but it sure was delicious! During the next weekend, when we were actually home, I was laying in bed on Sunday morning and trying to figure out what to make for dinner that night...
