pieces

The other night I made some brownies (from the box. I suggest Betty Crocker's extra fudgy brownie mix or whatever the title is). And the thing I like about brownies is how good they are. I don't know why more people don't use them as a wedding cake. Who likes wedding cake? But plenty of people love brownies.

Anyway, peanut butter is good too. And the combination of these two is DIVINE :) What you do is, mix up the brownie mix and pour into pan, and before placing into preheated oven, throw some peanut butter into the microwave and then drizzle the melted PB over the brownies. Pop in the oven and 20 minutes later (oven times may vary...) you have a good little "reese's pieces" extravaganza. I'm pretty sure there is a pre-made mix of this, but don't buy that. It's way more fun to drizzle on your own.

let's get together and feel alright



best mac and cheese I've ever eaten. I haven't been able to find it since I bought it at Fred Meyer awhile back, but now I see I can buy online. Anyway, I really like peas in mac & cheese. Frozen peas. Or fresh, but I've only ever tried frozen peas. It not only adds some yummy veggies to the meal, but it also adds color contrast, which is good. And if you add something red to your meal, you can have the colors of the jamaican flag. Plus, this pasta is in the shape of a peace sign. Who doesn't love a peace sign? Perhaps you could play "One Love" by Bob Marley in the background while eating this delicious meal.

Peace out.

i think i might have a bread obsession

Tonight, Jonathan and I warmed up some leftover spagetti that my mom had made. So i didn't really do any cooking, but I found some random ciabatta bread in our fridge and thought that would probably be good. And I knew I was a fan of ciabatta (safeway's california dreamin' sandwich is amazing on it), but I really love it. Buy a loaf and make a sandwich, a gi joe fort, or sponge out of it. Great bread!

the bread of life

well, i think i'll start off with an easy recipe. The art of the sandwich. I ate this a lot when I was at school because it tastes pretty darn good. it's good warm weather food. Eat with some ice cold lemonade and Sunchips.

creamy cranberry delight:

-2 slices of bread (preferrably some really good whole wheat with hazelnuts)
-low fat cream cheese (in place of mayo)
-craisins (lots of them)
-3 or so slices of turkey (as many different kinds as you want: smoked, oven roasted, etc.)
-3 or 4 slices of roma tomatoes
-lettuce
-eat!

how to make: it's a sandwich, figure it out.

also, this is an original recipe.

recipe of life.

This blog is mainly about the things I choose to cook. While away at school this past spring, I discovered many things about the kitchen that I love. I am a chicken fanatic and tend to cook that every meal I eat meat. Hopefully I'll branch out.

Also, I love peas. I could put them in just about anything and be happy.

Basically, this blog won't have any original recipes (or maybe it will) but it will just be my modifications of classic recipes. Or my total disregard for following a recipe (which, ends up being an original recipe).

maybe you'll get something new from my posts, maybe you won't. But I am always looking for new things to cook, so feel free to share any with me :)
