I actually think this is supposed to be a Sunday thing but hey I'm only one day late! I will try to make these four meals this week but who knows if ill have to work late or not so maybe i can talk Scott into cooking one of them!

Monday- Crispy Baked Pesto chicken

w/ garlic mashed pots and green beans

This is so easy it only has four ingredients can it get better then that?

Tuesday- Saucy Baked Chops

w/ white rice and broccoli (which Scott wont be eating)

We have Chops a lot but i always do the same thing to them (Lawry's steak and chop marinade which is divine) but i wanted to try something different

Wednesday- Cheesy One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore

with crescent rolls

This looked really good and i am all about things in one pot because i hate doing dishes!!!

Thursday-Saucy Pepper Steak

with white rice

I have to admit i have never made pepper steak ( i actually had to look up what cut to buy) so we will see how this turns out. It actually is a healthy-wise recipe made with brown rice but again my picky husband wont eat brown rice so i have to use white!

Friday we are going to The West Nassau game so i think ill have a hot dog and nachos! yum!

All of these recipes came from www.kraft.com I have been trying to come up with new things to cook so i went on the site and they have soo many good recipes check it out!!

HAPPY COOKING!

While at the lake last week we had a need for two more cakes! The first being my little cousins Billy and Louis birthday. They really didn't have a theme for their party so we decided to copy the napkin from the party supplies! Mandy and I both worked on this cake and i believe my brother may have helped a little also. I thought it turned out pretty cute for our first attempt @ fondant,...

its a little uneven but the oven was horrible!!!!!
The next cake was my own birthday! The last full day we were there we had a little cookout with some friends of ours the Smith's . I decided i wanted to make my own cake out of the 2009 Wilton Year Book! This cake took forever i had to bake 5 different times! and then all the icing colors and fondant colors it was crazy. It was a lot of fun and i think it turned out very cute! i would like to make this cake again. (you learn a lot after making a cake for the first time!!) so here it is,....oh yeah we didn't have any candles so i rolled one out of fondant,...

Today Griffin went to his hair appointment @ 2:00! i couldn't help but share how cute he looks! He wasn't very happy and it took them FOREVER. (unless you have all day don't go to Pet Stop) They did an awesome job though! Here are a few pics of him! And Carrie I'm that mom and i only have dogs so don't feel bad!

Isn't he cute!!

Don't know if anyone has seen this but it is sooooo funny! i have watched it like three times! My mom would have killed me but i wish i would have thought of it!

Hope u enjoy!!

Tara Mandy and I finished up cake class tonight feeling ready to,...well take another class. It was so much fun but i do believe we have a lot more to learn! I'm ready to sign up for 2 and 3 and soooo ready to take Fondant and Gum paste classes! This first pic in of my cupcakes that i never posted about They look better in person but notice the creepy clown in the middle,..it was Scott's favorite!!

This is the final cake that we made this afternoon. It pretty much included all the techniques we had learned into one cake. Im just glad i almost mastered the rose! I think im just going to start buying pre-made roses (they are more then annoying)

I feel like we all did pretty good. (even the lady said so,..even if she was a little bossy and rude) Here are my roses up close! Pretty good if i do say so myself!

Now go make a cake,....

Since i posted a blog about my babies! Its not much but i do have a couple of pics! Don't they look so cute,....

look close and you can see Scott's hand sticking out the side,..this is what i saw after my shower sat morning! i guess Scott was so tired he didn't care that Griffin was sleeping on top of him!! Shanae was probably chewing on something under the bed!

Ill have more pics of them after the lake in two weeks! i know u cant wait!!!!

Tara Libby called me a few weeks ago and asked me to take a Wilton cake decorating class with her at Michaels @ the airport. Those of you who know me well know this didn't take a lot of convincing. I love anything crafty and had been wanting to do this for a while! Today was our second class and we actually decorated a cake! nothing too fancy just some simple technique to get us started! We are having so much fun and i cant wait to see how we improve over the next couple of weeks! here are two pics of my very first cake! don't look too close its not perfect!!

hehe hope this inspires someone else to just try it! It really is a lot of fun! hopefully there will be better cakes to come! i guess you have to start somewhere,...
