Indeed....

And I must away. See you!

I brought sweets!

Comments: brownies! i baked it in an cast iron pan, which was new for me, added a little whipped cream and sparkly sprinkles. perfect for the season :)

I made something to drink!

Comments:
homemade hot cocoa with whipped cream and crushed up candy cane sprinkles. i'll share the recipe for this because it's special and yummy! warm up some milk. add tbsp of cocoa powder, a tsp of vanilla (or two), and sugar to your taste.

i keep meaning to snap a picture of savory but i keep eating it all before i think of it >.> i made some spaghetti with my mama's recipe which is gloooorious!

I'm bad for doing that too when I'm not hosting this, or rather my daughter/nephew gets to the sweets before I can take a picture.

sneaky buggers ... although, i have no one to blame but myself. i could blame the cat though... or the roommate, but she's not here soooo.... i guess it's just me :P

Yes, it's not as bad now that they're older. Since they know consequences of not waiting now.

ah yes, that makes sense. how old are they? if you don't mind me asking?

BOOP a Bobble!

Comments: cessy's dream world holds a lot of secrets... it also holds this gingerbread man. he doesn't look too pleased about it either!

14 &15. :)

Yay! another bobble! :D

ah that's a fun age! a moody age, but a fun age!

And sometimes a weird age. Been there, done that, don't want to go there again .

Comments: Black-eyed peas! I think I make them pretty much the standard way (ham, onion, celery, lil carrot) but add fresh jalapeno, tons of garlic and cook them in bacon grease & chicken stock. Serve with sour cream, sliced green onion and more bacon! ;D Make these every NYE to eat for luck/yums.

ah yes my friend eats those every new years too! yum!

this reminds me... i ate more spaghetti and i still didn't get a picture i just get so hungry

Oh right, black eyed peas are supposed to be lucky, aren't they? I'm hoping to make a shaved brussel sprouts and chestnut salad before the night is through. Maybe I could submit that.

Oooh, that both looks and sounds good *_*. Minus the jalapenos, but I'm not a big fan of those .

my roommate made brussel sprouts. she cooks em in a frying pan and loads on the salt. my house smells like pee and don't misunderstand, i love brussel sprouts... but i don't love them with salt and i don't love my residence smelling like pee

Haha, yeah. I find they taste better the less you adulterate them in the prep process.

Brusselsprouts...with salt. My tongue is screaming "yuck" at the thought.

Drive by entry dump! *backs up dumptruck and posts*

First Sweets!

I brought sweets!

Comments: My uncle loves eggnog and my Nana loves rice pudding, so when I went to their house for Christmas dinner, I decided to make some Eggnog Rice Pudding! This isn't the sexiest picture in the world, but since I made it to travel, I didn't get any sexy food shots. Rest assured it was noggy and delicious!


I brought sweets!

Comments: Of course Cookie made cookies for Christmas ;) And I don't make small batches. With my trusty cookie gun, I churn out cookies by the dozens and dozens! I made seven dozen for my work Christmas party. Here's just a few: Strawberry Jam Thumbprints and Green Christmas Trees :D

Then Savories!

I have a savory dish to share!

Comments: Colder weather means you crave nice warm comforting foods right? I decided to combine some things that I liked to make something really yummy. What are those things? Macaroni and cheese and Broccoli and Cheddar Soup! So here's my Broccoli Mac and Cheese Soup! It's hard to tell in this picture, but I put little baby shell macaronis in it. All the pictures of this soup turned out kinda blurry, but the soup was warming to the tummy and yum yummy! :D
Bonus shots: My broccoli and carrots cooking. I just like the color contrast! A better look at the shells. The whole giant pot of soup!

Comments: Holiday season seems to be dip season. Gotta have dip for your chips at parties right? I had a hankering for Spinach and Artichoke dip, and as I was looking at this giant pot of dip that I'd created, I decided to use some of it for a slightly different use, Chicken Spinach and Artichoke Pasta! OMG! It worked out amazingly. So cheesy and yummy. New favorite recipe! Though next time I'll definitely make sure the artichoke leaves are trimmed better. I got a few spines. =/
Bonus shots: Giant pot of spinach and artichoke dip. Big pot of yummy pasta. :D

Aaaaand, that's it for now. Unless I pop off to concoct drinks, but I'm feeling a bit lazy, so maybe not.

All that looks so yum. And those cookie look itty! :o

they are so gross! she cooks em right until they are soggy in the oil too. gross taste and texture. i don't know how she bring herself to eat em. i cook mine under the broiler with a little EVOO and let em get crisped up. so good

wow, for-chan! such lovely and yummy looking nummies!

e_e It sounds like your roommate has no idea how to cook brusselsprouts right.
Dammit now I want brusselsprouts.

yea me too lol just so i can cook em right! and no, she doesn't she puts so much salt on everything too, yeesh, grosses me right out!

e_e I will never understand why some people have to drown their food in salt. On some things it's fine, but not on everything.

it takes away all the taste

WHY would you not want to taste something? WHY?

...oh, wait, stupid question. I went to high school, I know exactly why.

wait, what? why? i wanna know lol
