Haha they were fun to make! We cracked a bunch of eggs, removed the shells, cut them in half, removed the yolk, cleaned out all the yolk, and then made the inside with the egg yolks mixed with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Tabasco sauce! Then we pipped the mixture into the eggs!

Then today in my cooking class we all pan-fried chicken, made pan gravy, sauted spinach, and made mashed potatoes. My chicken was spiced with just salt and pepper, but my spinach and potatoes were amazing! I am my moms daughter, and I added dill to both of them, and it was so tasty! I had garlic, onion powder, and dill in the mashed potatoes, and with the spinach I added sauted onions and carrots with a salt and pepper mix and a chili powder and dill mix! Sooo good!

Cooking and Baking class! : )

Here's a recap on my cooking class on Wednesday and my baking class on Thursday! ^_^

So on cooking class this week we did a section on chickens! We all had to make sauce, and then partway cook our chicken over the broiler and then finish it in the oven! The chef really liked mine, he said I had a good balance of colors. : )

We also made side salads with our own salad dressings. Mine was made with apple cider vinegar and olive oil!

My friend K is so cute! : )

Recap and Cute Foodie Stuff! : )

Hey guys! I haven't posted in a week because my camera has gone missing! : ( So I will recap with words! ; )

On Wednesday, we cooked chicken and zucchini three different ways. We baked the chicken covered, and uncovered in the oven, and roasted one on the grill and we sauteed, grilled, and deep fried the zucchini. I loved the grilled and friend zucchini, but I felt like my sauteed zucchini was just too salty!

In my baking class on Thursday we made different fruit pies. We made flaky and mealy pie doughs, chilled them, and then rolled them out and either baked them whole or blind baked them and then baked them with filling. My group made fresh apple pie, and other groups made peach, blueberry, and quiche! I loooved the blueberry pie the best! : )

This weekends food fun was when I checked my mail and I got a piece of paper saying my dad had gotten me a subscription to the Food Network Magazine! Thanks daddy! : ) Also, I got four boxes of Clif Bars from my mom! I love you guys!! : )

Now today in Pastry Tube Art, we pipped out eclairs and puff pastries and made whip cream. It was a fun process, but I didn't really enjoy them because of the liquor that was added to the cream! x0

Since my recap is over, let's move on to today! While searching Fredflare.com today I found even more foodie stuff I would love to own! : )

Washington DC, Seattle, and Birthday recap!

Well we also went to Washington DC, we saw so many sights, and one of my favorite was seeing Julia Child's kitchen at the American History Museum!

Photobucket
Yay!

After DC, we went back to Seattle and spent time with family. We had greek food together, pizza nights, went to many restaurants, and had a BBQ together! At the BBQ we had goooood pie, I'm going to have to steal it from my aunt for my future bakery. ; ) I also had lots of ice cream, haha of course!

When we finally made it home my friend threw me an ice cream party, and then on my birthday we had Thai chicken, jalapeno mac and cheese, carrots/cucumbers, pecan bars, and toasted Marshmallow shakes. We had had the shakes at a restaurants in Washington DC, and we knew we had to remake them at home!

Since then we've just been happy to be home with our family and puppies! I got so tired of restaurants, so it's nice to be making things at home! I can't wait for school in the fall and for baking/cooking in the future!

Loooove you all!
