Hello Kitty Cake

For Trinity's birthay this year I decided to make her Hello Kitty Cake. She still enjoys the brand, and it is easy to find all kinds of Hello Kitty ingredients in stores. Just a few pictures of the final result.

What-Is-In-The-Fridge Salads

There are days (and pretty often) when you don’t have any special ingredients for a certain dish in your fridge but you still want to make something. This happens a lot about salads for me. I believe that one should try really hard to make really bad salads, that’s why I have a long list of salads that fall under the category “What’s Left in the Fridge”. Just thought I’ll share some of them with you.

Salad #1

Lettuce, tomato, avocado, crab sticks. Olive oil and Italian herbs seasoning.

St. Patrick’s Day 2012

I’ve been off this blog for a few weeks. Not good at all. I would not say I was cooking something special to write home about. I am observing Lent and while there are tons of creative Lent-friendly recipes I’ve being lazy sticking to simple rice and veggies/salads menu. Nevertheless, I am expecting a great guest post from an amazing cook who will share her lenten and yummy recipes with us. So stay tuned. 

Lent is Lent, but there are also days that traditionally call for a certain meal. St. Patrick’s Day is one of them. We were driving back home from picking up the kids last Friday when my stepson Xavier asked if we would have corned beef and cabbage. That very moment I knew my plans for the upcoming Saturday.

Last year St. Patrick’s Day fell on a week day, and we had my father-in-law who brought lots of great food. This year I was going to try and make it myself.

Flourless Chocolate & Guinness Cake on St. Valentine's Day

It all started at the Periodicals section of our local Barnes&Noble. I opened Food Network Magazine Special Chocolate issue, and I just could not put it down. The recipe for Towering Flourless Chocolate Cake looked so good! It asked for lots of chocolate and also some Guinness beer, both Dave’s favorite so that very minute I knew what I would make for my husband on St. Valentine’s Day. 

Last year I had kept it low key making just heart-shaped cookies so this year I was thinking about treating him to something unusual.
