How to Eat a Cupcake

Not impressed with Italy's food...

I took it upon myself to make something that I thought tasted like Italy.

I made some pesto, grilled some chicken and threw it together with gnocchi and roma tomatoes.

A little rich, but creamy and flavorful.  

Banana split cupcakes

I layered chocolate and vanilla cake, topped the finished product with banana pudding, whipped cream and a cherry.  :)

Scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers, chives...

all wrapped up like this:

A yummy breakfast

Then i made Thanksgiving dinner.  

I tried to put a spin on it, but ended up deciding that you just do Thanksgiving the way it should be...

Don't layer all of it in a pie shell.

(I don't like pot pie's though)

Carrot Cake for Levi's birthday

Dinner was roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts and beef tenderloin

I threw together some parsley, bleu cheese and room temp butter to spread on top.

Easy and delicious

Banana Streusel muffins

Apricot and pecan croissants

and a Chocolate shake

All in a week's adventures in our kitchen!  :)
