Foods I made/ ate this week

Ive been making food recipes that I found this week and some of the pictures actually look edible. Other ones I threw away quickly and burned (the recipe, not the food). Im trying to also add more fruits and now that it is melon season (wooooooo!) I have found my love of cantalope once again. I wish I lived somewhere tropical so I could eat beautifully colored fruit every day.

This is the beautiful cream cheese pound cake I made for a bake sale this week. It tasted pretty legit.

Yummms. I love fresh fruit. The pictures appear stuck together but we made our own kabobs this week! Wazi got to mix together his special recipe of sauces for the meat and then we added a bunch of colorful veggies to make it pretty as well as taste delicious.

And this was our dinner tonight. It was chicken parmesan. We took three chicken breasts (Wazi wouldnt wait for me to take the picture before he snatched it), floured and egged them and cooked them in the deep fryer. Then I added some ham slices, mozzarella cheese, and pasta sauce. We had garlic bread and a side salad to make it healthy. Absolutely nom nom.


Hopefully I will keep going on my picture taking of my food. It helps me to see if I am actually eating as healthy as I think I am. Or I can at least remember what foods I ate all week so I dont just drink wine for every meal.

Cant stop my impulsive recipe collecting!

So I don't really like to cook. I really enjoy eating and the smells my house makes when I cook, the sound of the mixers, and good music like Stevie Wonder or oldies in the kitchen. I am super OCD so I actually hate creating a mess. Cooking is all about destroying your kitchen 3-4 times a day in the hopes that you can eat a nice meal before you have to start sweating again cleaning up your mess. If cooking was possible without the mess I'd be all over that in a heart beat. But until that crazy invention begins (get going scientists) I have started a folder on my desktop all about cooking foods I could maybe possibly do if no one was to come over for a few days.

1. 3- ingredient pulled pork recipe. All you need is a slow cooker, Pork tenderloin, a can of cola or root beer and BBQ sauce. I made it last saturday and it was beautiful. I made 2 pounds yet there was no left overs...Someone in my house must have a tape worm lol.

2. Baked Chicken Parm. I have been trying to keep my figure beautiful (Spain!) so I went with the low cal option. Its amazingly delicious and Wazi loves cheese so we both were happy.

3. Rolo Cookies. I love Rolos so much it might be a sin. I hope that I can maybe have nice friends one day who can send me some rolos since Germany refuses to make me happy by providing me with fattening foods.

These are just a few things that I am really into eating. Of course I have yet to write down a recipe for things that I make myself from scratch but maybe one day I can write it down. I make a really delicious cheesecake where I make my own topping based on what is left in my cupboards. Last time it was homemade reese's. If working at the Cheesecake factory has taught me anything it is that there are no short cuts to a beautiful cheesecake.
