If it's ugly...

Throw some chocolate on it!

Chocolate Croissants

Showing off my rolls!

Cinnamon rolls because I told you so!

When you're tired, you go to bed. When I'm tired, I cook!

I had the pleasure of cooking for 7 hours, sleeping for 4.5 and then cooking for another 3.5 before heading out to a McDonald's corporate event for which I was providing the food! YAY!!! Thank God it's over.

Pete+Suck+Rust= ???

I am eating this RIGHT NOW! You are soooo jealous.

PIZZA CRUST! That's right. I am going to share a bit of my amazing pizza making tips with you. Get ready to make an awesome pizza crust dough that I have made so many times that I don't have to measure anything. I realize I am bragging right now and sometimes that is OK; bake what your mama gave ya'!

Happy November!

Foodie Tunes Friday

I am posting this while guzzling a french press of huehuetenango @ Octane WESTSIDE! They were playing Mumford and Sons so I opted to listen to something else. I can't say that I didn't enjoy a song or two 3 years ago, but it's simply too much. They are not one of those bands that I could ever listen to an entire album of. Is it me or do most of their songs sound the same?!?! Anyways... Bring on the hate mail! I have always been a fan of offering remedies and solutions; in light of that, here is a song that I hope will get you all dancing. You won't be annoyed by it. You won't hear it in the drug store as you are picking up tums or Christmas cards. It is possible. I heard Arcade Fire in Kroger not so long ago. I hope to continue this every Friday. I did mention that I am a huge music fiend so it is only fair that I dedicate an entire post at least once a week to the addiction.

Feta Recipe

This cheese has more of a mildly tart flavor than typical feta.The HUGE difference with this recipe is that I did not use goats milk, rennet tabs or yogurt. It is a great cheese to make if you have some milk that is bordering on expiration. By this, I mean milk that is within 1-2 days of expiration. By no means am I advising anyone to use milk that is a week old. Ew.

Mastering Mozzarella

I ventured into cheese making not so long ago and it was fun except for the fact that I didn't have everything I needed. This time around, I am making mozzarella I have the appropriate cloth, buttermilk and rennet tabs. I am ready to make a mess! I am so excited.
