Apple of my eye.

I'm not sure why I made pie.

oatmeal chocolate chip and cranberry cookies

I decided to make some cookies, I had some cranberries in the house along with some oats, so I decided to make some oatmeal chocolate chip and cranberry cookies. I wasn't allowed to really have any because I started my diet, but I tried a little corner or one and they were pretty good.

Boredom turns to baking

So I learned how to make Pate A Choux. For losing all of my pasrty bag tips and half of my baking stuff in one of the moves this year, I think they came out pretty good.

Eclairs in 40 minutes!

When I was a kid, me, my bros and my sister would all go over my Nana and Grampy's house every weekend. We would stay there from Friday night to Saturday night. On most Friday nights, my Nana would order pizza from the best pizza place in the world, Papa Ginos. (Boston pizza is the best pizza ever). Then when we didn't order pizza on Fridays, my nana would make her famous Mac and cheees or American Chop Suey. Alot of the time, we would have these Eclairs for dessert. So me and my brother's and sister all grew up with these eclairs. So when we moved here to Florida and ordered an eclair somewhere, to our suprise, these eclairs were filled with this fake wannabe custard. So I've always wanted to make my own.

So tonight for dinner, pain in the ass. I was making pasta for about 2 hours and then in 5 minutes had to make my chicken, while everyone else had beef. Had to make my sauce and everything in like 5 minutes. By the time we ended up eating, it was pretty late and I remembered that I wanted to try out this awesome eclair recipe I found on this amazing bread site.

http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/eclairs. But I was extremely limited on time. I wanted to make these tonight because a bunch of people were over for dinner, so what a perfect time to make them eh? For the time I was given, I think that they came out pretty good. They don't look super pretty, but for sure next time they will.

Fresh Pasta, the only way to pasta.

So we got a pasta maker!!!! Finally and its awesome. Tonight I'm gonna make some fresh pasta with mushrooms, shallots and peas. A few nights away we decided to try to make some fresh ravioli. I made a champagin cream sauce to go along with it and our ravioli were stuffed with regatta and mushrooms with garlic, they were good, but there was too much egg in the regatta mixture. And my sauce was perfect until my step father decided to ruin it by adding olive oil to it and broke my sauce. So thats why it doesn't look that great. I also made fresh bruschetta that came out awesome.

Banana bread!

So I bought some bananas the other day, when I bought them, they were actually not even quite ripe yet. I come to find out yesterday that they were getting brown, so I decided to make banana bread with no walnuts. I found the most amazing bread site in the world! ttp://www.thefreshloaf.com . Tonight I'm gonna make eclairs. Good stuff.
