CupCakeS


CupCakes are my alL tiMe favOrite in the wOrlD. I know how to make all sOrts from the simple everyday favorite to the most complex. I never really knew how many different type of cupcaKes were really out there. I can't really say that I have a favorite because I LOVE them all. I've made suGar-free to loads of sugar. I made my graNny special cupcakes using splenDa for the sugar. I believe this is my hiDDen talent to cook & to bake. Todays special cupcake wilL be "Chocolate Delight" i can't wait!

Smothered Pork Chops


Ok so laSt night I made Smothered pOrk chOps for the very first time. If you ask me I say they turned out pretty good. Now fried foods and unhealthy foods are NOT allowed in my house. So I had to do alot of persuading for my mother to let me make these. It was all worth it in the eND.

Fierce Jambalaya


The other night I made the most fierce Jambalaya ever. I've made it before but this one took the cake. It was Chicken, Shrimp, and Sausage Jambalaya southern style. It took me an hour and a half including the prep work. Im not a huge fan of rice with out butter and sugar but this dish made me have a change of heart. I took some to my great grandmother's house and she tried it, now she hardly gives out compliments on food but that day was a good day. She told me "that was the best jambalaya I've ever had thus far". I was filled with joy from hearing that.
So "The Good, The Bad, & The Delicious"
This took the running lead for Delicious.
