Blueberry Cupcakes

I was looking forward to stay home and relax this weekend, so my plans are to bake and watch the complete second season of Gossip Girl. Today I was feeling like baking, so I settled for muffins, blueberry muffins! I think they are my first muffins ever, so I guess they turned out okay! J

Chocolate + Fashion

When I was younger and not long ago I hated the kitchen and everything that had to do with cooking, except for baking. Lately I’ve been cooking and baking more often stuff that I really like, “googoling” and researching recipes online and buying cooking books. Yesterday for example I was baking chocolate chunk cookies, and let me tell you that I find it really calming when I prepare something with love and because I want to, it adds it that special something and you feel very good when you see the results.

These are some of the new additions to my wardrobe that I’m in love with.

Steamed Hips with Pasta Alfredo

Since yesterday’s weather was very cloudy and rainy, I realized it was a perfect occasion for a home cooked dinner. I decided to make steamed hips with carrots, onions and peppers sided by pasta alfredo with broccoli and bread toasts. This was my very first attempt at cooking this recipe and it turned out very good. There’s no better feeling than sharing a lovely evening with your family.

End result.

Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Baking is something that I enjoy doing since I was in high school. I think it’s fun how you can create so much by following the recipe and mixing the ingredients, or even editing the recipe and experiment by adding and/or removing other ingredients. Today I was feeling a little more like doing brownies, so I decided since it was a beautiful Sunday morning to bake dark chocolate fudge brownies! There’s nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment when you get the results you were expecting.

Here are some pictures for visual entertainment :) Enjoy!

End result.

My doggie was happy with the result :)

Sarah's French Toasts!

Today I woke up wanting to eat some French toasts! So I thought of taking some pictures of the procedure so I could share it here :)

 

What I used was:

-Bread (4 pieces)

-Eggs (if is for one person use just one)

-Cinnamon

-Milk

-Butter

-Clean plate

-Bowl or deep plate

-Pan

What I did was mix the egg with the cinnamon and the milk in a measuring cup. And then serve it on the deep plate or bowl.

You just place the mixture on each side of the bread. Also you can add a little butter to the bread on each side just to add flavor.

Then you cook it in the pan.

And it's ready to eat! :D

Enjoy!

Love,

Sarah Elena
