Cupcake Wrappers and Bakery Boxes!

Hi everybody! Today I was surfing the web and I found these adorable cupcake wrappers and bakery boxes. They are so upbeat and colorful! What I love about the pink bakery boxes is that they are so traditional and classic yet fun and cute! Also, if you don't already know, I am obsessed with polka dots, so I L-O-V-E these cupcake wrappers!!!!! I know that I am just going to have to get them for my mom's birthday, May 8, which also happens to be Mother's Day! http://shopsweetlulu.bigcartel.com/

The Wednesday Chef!

Hey guys! I am so hungry right now (waiting for dinner to be done) and I am getting hungrier by the minute as I surf The Wednesday Chef. The Wednesday Chef is a fabulous food blog with salivating recipes written by Luisa Weiss who live in Berlin, Germany. Here are the recipes that I am going to have to make and tell you guys about! French chocolate granola, maple pecan muffins, chickpea salad with four-minute eggs, arugula and potato soup, sesame noodles, pappardelle with peas and parmesan, and many, many more!!

My Dinner!

Hey fellow readers! Just had an amazing yet simple dinner of a salad with chicken. The salad had corn, avocado, bell peppers, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and chicken. To top it off, there was a simple french vinaigrette which was very tasty. I write to you on a mostly full belly, eating a bowl of vanilla chocolate chip ice cream and half of a kitchen sink cookie! Anyway, I am blogging to you about a food quote. It is "When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste,". This is totally true. I stress the totally in that sentence because when cooking you can add a little salt here and there, whereas when baking a handful of flour could alter the recipe completely! Interesting, huh?

Try it you'll like it!

The other day I tried a ginger, date, and molasses cookie. Thought it would be horrible, but it turned out to be pretty good. It was a little bit on the chewy side, but I did not mind (although my braces did!). That just goes to show you that the saying "Try it you'll like it", is completely true!

Burgers....

Who doesn't love a great burger?? I know that I love going to a great burger place and having my ideal burger. My ideal burger is a medium-well 1/3 of a lb. burger with red onion, avocado, and chipotle aioli on the side. MMMM!!! That is what I always get when I go to the Counter. The Counter is hands-down my favorite burger place. (Their sweet potato fries are just sooooo amazing!!!!!!) Just looking at this picture makes me salivate!

Breakfast Time!

Hi guys!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while... School has been a little bit stressful. :( So, breakfast has now become one of my three favorite meals {haha:)}. The only problem is that when I come down in the morning I don't feel like eating a big breakfast and I don't have that much time (because I get distracted playing my ITouch when I first wake up!!!) . This is one of my personal favorite breakfasts because it is a great start to the day and because I can eat it without being rushed. First, take a piece of bread and toast it. The bread should be more like a baguette or sourdough bread. Then put 1/4 of an avocado (sliced) on the slice of bread. Finally give it the finishing touch which is a sprinkle of salt and pepper! I love this breakfast and I hope you do too! More to come.......
