Giada's Frittata

My dad and I were watching Giada At Home a few days ago and we were inspired to make her penne frittata. And it was SO good! We added eggs, penne pasta, cream, lemon, bacon ( Giada didn't add bacon though.) I regret watching it with him though because now every time we cook he is always talking about all these Italian ingredients that he has never even tried! But anyway, here is how our frittata turned out!

I didn't know puppies eat pizza!

This is our dog, Eskimo(Mo for short.) I know she is cute, but don't let the looks fool you! You see, she is always knocking down trash cans, and peeing on the rug. But the worst thing of all is the time we ordered a pizza. We ate a few pieces, left it on the table, and went to watch TV. When we came back all of the cheese was off of the pizza!!!!! We should have known better. Thanks a lot Mo.

Crepes

I got this amazing recipe for crepes from my French teacher. She gott it from allrecipes.com.


I 1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter

                                    Mix it all together. If it is too thick add a little more milk.

                                                                                                                             Put some butter in the pan( butter makes everything taste better.) Them pour your crepe into the pan.

    

             Put whatever you want into your crepe, fruit, chocolate, cheese, or bacon. I put in bananas.

And.......Ta-Da!!

CUPCAKES!

My cousin, Jenny came from Conneticut for Mothers Day. When we woke up we watched T.V. then we started to cook! She demanded to pour in the ingredients. Then I looked up a recipe for vanilla frosting. We spread the frosting as best as we could. Then we put on sprinkles! ( We probably put on too many. )

Here is a picture of our attempt of making cupcakes!

Waffle intonations...

This morning, Dad and I were watching Cupcake Wars (Dad was furious about his favorite baker losing). So we got hungry and decided to make waffles.

 

Here's a picture of my brother eating them...he looks a little cranky.

Peanut butter cups!!!





Don't you just love'em!! B.C.E.( best candy ever.) I like the Reeses ones, but I LOVE the Trader Joe's kind! What is your favorite candy? Skittles, Smarties, Twix, Gobstoppers, Tagalongs?? Feel free to respond if you feel like it. I'd really love to hear it!

My Dad has a problem...

Yep, a problem indeed....WITH SWEETS!

One day I came from school and noticed on the 'fridge that my Mom was playing a trick on my Dad.  She put pictures of him from vacations a long time ago. In each picture he's a little older and a little bigger...so you see, there's his problem. He's eating too many of my cookies!!

Well, as you can see he also has this funny stance in each photo. I think he thinks it's his tough guy look. But wait there's more...check out the goofy glasses in this one...

He wouldn't let me put anything up that's recent because of his "cookie problem"...so here's the recipe for my awesome chocolate chip cookies:

1 cup softened butter

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 lightly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 large box of vanilla instant pudding

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

Semi-sweet chocolate chips (lots!)

Cream the sugars and butter in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, vanilla and pudding. Slowly add the flour and baking soda...and the chips last. Mix just until well combined. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake at 375 for 7-10 minutes. Voila!!!
