I AM THE WORST PHOTOGRAPHER

2010-10-30T10:15:00.000-07:00

I am not a photographer, just a guy taking pictures. Usually many pictures and then picking the best one if there is one. I do not do my recipes or the food justice. I am sorry! We need a new camera, anyone have any tips on what kind or type to get?

Baked Ziti is one of my all time favorites. I think the love of this entree originated from my cousin Nicole and Aunt Jo making it for one of the family game night we always had. I also remember making this with my mom at home which will always be some of my favorite memories. I decided to make it a bit different this time and use no meat. My wife is a vegetarian when its convenient and I

While in France every morning Kayla would get 2 or 3 of these croissants filled with chocolate. They were amazing. I tried to duplicate them and it was REALLY easy! They weren't exactly the same but for cutting out the 3 centuries of history and experience most of the bakeries have there, it does the trick. Chocolate Crossants 1 package of Pillsbury Butter Flake Croissants 7-9 Tbsp Nutella

1st Recipe - Corn Cake Tamales (Cheesecake Factory Replica)

2010-01-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

Friday Date Nite was amazing last week because we tried a new recipe from the Famous Cheesecake Menu. Prelude- Over the Christmas break we had dinner with Kayla's family and a bunch of people from their ward. Nanette (K's Mom) asked if I could make a corn pudding. If you have ever been to Chevy's it is the corn side dish that they provide. We made this and it was a decent attempt at duplication.
