I have really been slacking on this blog. Here are some things I've been up to over the past few months while I disappeared off the face of the planet!
Made Chili Molasses Chicken Skewers! They were just a bit spicy for me, but the recipe would be easy to alter to tame it down a little bit. Still delicious. I served it with corn on the cob, grilled up some bread, and I assume that there was potatoes in the foil packet.
I ate some delicious food in Washington, DC while there for my cousin's bachelorette party weekend. The restaurant, Vapiano, was a recommendation by a friend of my sister's, and it was fabulous. I wish I took more pictures of the place, but it was just lovely. It had such a good flow to it, and the staff was super friendly, which is quite appreciated when visiting a big city. The portions were also worth the money. My sister and I split both plates, the top being a chicken caesar salad, and the bottom was pasta with chicken and pesto. So yummy.
While in Washington, DC, we also went to a desert bar called Coco Sala. I wish I could remember what this desert was called, but had I posted this back in July when I went, I might still remember. The plating was just so pretty. I also had an amazing drink called "Fetish." Chocolate covered strawberries. With vodka. Need I say more?
Made BBQ chicken (with the amazing Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce), potatoes and asparagus on the grill!
Along comes my sister's birthday cake.
Yes. That is a Tardis. And yes. There are Doctor Who figurines on the cake. It was all fun and games until the Tardis basically tipped over.
***Note to self. Do not use Funfetti cake to build a theme cake***
I spiked a watermelon! This was a bit dangerous for me, because 1. I LOVE WATERMELON, and 2. I made it a bit strong. Whoops!
Made Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Oh so good. That is my most recent cooking adventure, so I might go down and have a piece of it right now!
I know there is more that I made and experimented with, but these were just pictures of food I had on my phone.
Is there anything you'd like me to try to make? Anything you have always wanted to make at home, but were scared to try to make yourself? Let me know! I am always looking to try new things and to learn new techniques! It will also give me fodder for my blog!
