I thought we had no internet . . .

It wasn't working for the past few days so we decided to call shaw and BUY internet instead of stealing it. They were suppose was to come today between 5-8pm buut i had yoga at 530 and my sister had work til 530 and OF COURSE they come at 5:04! we have to wait til monday . . . so thinking there was no internet I baked then I find out WE HAVE "OUR" internet back . . .

I had nothing better to do then make tiny cookies. The top is lil thumbprint cookies, the middle is peanut butter drops and the bottom one are lil chocolate chip ones which I made first and thats why they look so weird but they taste AWESOME

Felt Like I Was Throwing a Dinner Party

So yesterday, well actually today, is one of my best friend's birthday. A few friends came over, before we decided to go out, I made dinner. My mom's famous vegetarian Shepherd's Pie (which is my friend's favorite) and a Zucchini Carrot Loaf. I think both were VERY successful besides the loaf being a little bit dry.

I used a recipe from my new cookbook well the one I made.

Ingredients.

Five minutes more like five seconds into starting. I started with peeling the carrot and instead of peeling the actually vegetable I peeled off part of my finger nail hurt like hell (don't worry no one ate it)

Mixing, mixing, mixing.

The finished product. My sister who said she didn't like carrot cake and was not looking forward to eating this actually LIKED it. Julz on the other hand . . . don't think she liked it cause my sister finished off her portion. I liked it maybe I'm a little bias.

Sauteed Veggie Pita Pizza!

So I had decided I was gonna start putting my recipe book to use. After spending almost 2 hours at metrotown (NOT ideal) I picked up some stuff. I used pita bread (and it actually worked out pretty well) I couldn't find any whole pizza crusts (does it even exist?)

prepping . . .
I didn't think it would work cause it didn't require any sorta sauce but it all sorta mushed together. I didn't add red pepper cause I forgot to get it but I added spinach instead (not the same but still worked out)

The final product! I made two so i could take one for lunch tomorrow. I was quite pleased with the result.
Next time I need to add more of the ingredients I didn't follow instructions cause it was just me so I kinda guesstimated . . . but it was still quite good . . . mmmmmm.

I have more to post. not food related but I figured I give Julz a chance to post something next.

We decided we will have another SUCCESSFUL crafts day! SOON SOON SOON

Food For Thought

So I figured if I am going to start eating right and better I would have to have a collection of recipes so 1) i don't get bored of cooking the same thing 2) I don't buy the "wrong" food spontaneously because of not making a shopping list and 3) it meant ANOTHER CRAFT PROJECT!! which i could NOT pass up.

So here it is. I wanted to go for a vintage feel . . . i guess. the paper is a little vintage-ish

Here's the inside which consists of categories: Soups, Salads, Snacks, Entrees, Drinks and Desserts (gotta have desserts)

It's full of brown paper that I got from work (We work at a bakery)

Now it's just a matter of filling it up with recipes. I'm going through healthy cookbooks, vegetarian cookbooks, magazines anything. I am really quite pleased with it.
