lemon bars

The normal process for posts here for me is make the recipe forget to photograph it or decide not to because it’s 10:30 at night when you decide to start making noise in the kitchen. Then, after finding out that the thing I just made is utterly delicious and I have to share it with you guys I make it again but this time over the weekend when I have enough daylight to take pictures. These lemon bars were a rare exception to the standard as I photographed the process and the final product and enjoyed them the first time making it.

Hummingbird Cupcakes

I know, I know. Where have I even been? Ultimately, things have been pretty crazy around the household. School is now over, but things are just as hectic. Thank goodness baking helps me cope with stress! I tried to make some pretzel bites, but that didn’t go over very well.

They looked like unicorn turds, and they weren’t tasty at all. Second batch still didn’t come out right, so I gave up on it. They tasted all right, but they still looked like unicorn turds. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Out of the three children my parents had, I’m the only who can cook. I’m also the middle child, that means that my older brother, about to turn 19 in August, and my younger brother, 12, are pretty clueless when it comes to the kitchen. Now, at 12 I was just beginning to make “simple” things in the kitchen; though, this included cheesecake which everyone on my mom’s side of the family swoons over during family events. My older brother asked me about two weeks ago how much butter he should use the cook (read: reheat) shrimp. That’s a weird question since there’s no EXACT amount and I would just put in enough to coat the bottom of the pan… or more if I wanted it.

Chocolate Coconut Pudding

Chocolate Coconut Pudding

90% of the time when I make something I post it on Facebook to make my friends jealous of my homemade bread, chocolate cake, rice crispies that they all love, and now this pudding. Well this pudding was first interpreted as cake and then something else that doesn’t even make sense. And when I posted it saying how they are all jealous of it, I put “toasted chocolate” instead of “toasted coconut”. Yeah.
