Happy Monday everyone! I’m so sorry I only posted once last
week but I only made the muffins I already done and honestly I was really busy
last week and I just didn’t get the chance! I had an excellent weekend away
with my cousin Amy! We shopped, had a lovely dinner and went to a good concert!
I was lucky enough to also get to see my friends Danielle and Tiana on Saturday
for brunch J
Always makes me happy to see them! Bonus got an amazing scarf from Danielle,
which she knit herself and she is pretty awesome! I will post a picture in my next blog since I don’t have a
picture right now and I’m not looking good enough at the moment to just throw
one out there!
Since I haven’t posted in almost a week yesterday I decided
I should probably cook and bake something so we have a good post for today! I
also wanted to use my new apron that I got for Christmas that I hadn’t broken
out yet J it
is super cute! Cherries and ruffles what could be un-cute about that? Anyways,
so I went through Pinterest and got my recipes! Once I threw on my music and
apron I was ready to take on my most challenging baking recipe to date! Triple
Chocolate pound cake! I had thought about making it a few times but always
backed out because I just didn’t know if I was ready for such a challenge but I
looked over the recipe again and decided it really wasn’t as hard as I was
making it out to be it just seems like something I wasn’t ready for. Let me
tell you again I only like recipes that look simple! This recipe did not
disappoint! Easy and simple! Only thing that was kind of a pain was how long it
took to bake! 70-75 minutes! That is long time since most of my baking so far
has taken tops of 17 minutes! There is an icing for this cake but I didn’t
think it was going to need it and we had strawberries for it! So I cannot
comment on the ease of making the icing but looked easy so I would say if you
can make the cake you can probably easily make the icing! And after 74 minutes
this is what I got!! Okay not really this was after it cooled and I took it
from the pan! Pretty darn yummy looking is it not? I can tell you it tasted
amazing! Yummy in your belly!
For dinner I was less than prepared to make something
amazing so I decided on a casserole in hopes it would be great! I was thinking crock-pot
chicken or pork but then didn’t have the time for that so pizza casserole was
going to be on deck for Sunday’s dinner. I feel like I use the word easy too
much in my blog but honestly this was another easy recipe! Your prep is cooking
the pasta (which egg noodles was called for but I used penne and really enjoyed
that change), browning your ground beef and getting out the casserole dish. You
layer your sauce, noodles, beef and cheese and then for your top layer you
cover it with sliced pepperoni and I added another layer of cheese because I
only had one layer of everything since my casserole dish wasn’t very deep. Also
the top layer of a pizza is suppose to be cheese! So, did my prep work and
popped that baby in the oven for 35 minutes and this is what I got! So yummy and
totally tasted like pizza!
All in all we had a wonderful Sunday dinner! Tonight, I’m
off to the movies with Erica (sister) and my momma to see the Iron Lady because
we love Meryl! Kids pack of popcorn here I come J
