Yum

I am so craving some fish tacos right now. They just sound so yummy with the creamy sauce and fresh cabbage! Too bad we aren't having that for dinner! :(

Thank You Aunt Leah for Craving This.... :)

My Aunt Leah made this really good Chinese salad for us last night. There's cabbage, chicken, crunchy noodles with almonds, drizzled in a sesame sauce! i can still taste it now, so delicious!

Want the recipe?

You'll be sure to love it!

Happy Cooking!

Midnight Chocolate Lovers

A small handful of dark or milk chocolate hits that craving
Dunk mint cookies or oreos into melted chocolate for a yummy twist
Chocolate and gram crackers are oh-so good chilled and tossed in with marshmallows.

Midnight snacks are the best. And to add chocolate, that's just...too cool for words, right? Every girl or you choco lover guys need that something to look forward to in the night. So i have created some tasty treats for day or night, but i suggest midnight. The darkest time of the entire night...

Been meaning to post this...

My beauty of a sister made this precious cake for my birthday! Hand made gum paste flowers, chocolate bark bordering the cake and dark chocolate frosting lathered across the dark chocolate cake. It makes my mouth water right now as i type. She truly is so talented in cooking, and im so glad that she got to make my cake then someone else!

Thank you Sarah! :)

Your Sis,

Peach Cobbler

The girl made a delicious cobbler,

All by herself,

Her Mother and Father were impressed by her,

And her selfless self...:P

My 4th of July

We had a very fun 4th of July! The food, fun and hanging out with the family! Ava, my little cousin, watched the fireworks eagerly and played with our neighbor's daughter Izzy! They had a blast and so did we!

Bringing the Ball Park to you, gourmet style!

Another creative food, another story. I was going threw the pantry, trying to find SOMETHING suitable for lunch and out of thin air thought of this. Hot dogs and cornbread, cake style. Ha, i know, weird and sort of gross? Wrong, im surprised myself! Really good, and bringing the ballpark to you without the sweat and screams, but with your traditional corn dog fancied up. All you need is cornbread packets and turkey hot dogs, and put into a cake pan!!. So try this idea for lunch or dinner. Really easy, and perfect for any occasion!

Ally :)

P.S Bring me out to the ball game!

pâtes au fromage de chèvre

Homemade by Ally

Yesterday afternoon i was inspired to make something else for lunch other then cheese sandwiches and toast. Just Kidding! So i took out the pot, boiled pasta noodles and threw together this lovely dish. Goat Cheese Pasta with Pesto Basil Dressing.

Isn't that tempting?

Since i love you all dearly, maybe you would like the recipe?

It's not a professional recipe, just the ingredients. You can add as much or little as you like

Basil Pesto. i made mine from a packet which has still the yummy flavor or regular pesto, but low in calories, and no fat.

Pasta Noodles. No macaroni noodles, something fancy and elegant.

Cherry tomatoes. We get ours out of the garden, so it's fresh and organic.

Goat cheese. Yum, the creamiest cheese ever you can find at almost every grocery store.

Chicken which is optional for more flavor and protein to even out the carbs.

And fresh plucked basil on top. You can alway tear it up and mix it in for intense flavor to your spoiled taste buds. You can find basil at the store also, moist and packaged.

Not only is this healthy and nutritious, you are treating your taste buds to a really easy and fast recipe that will please anyone! :)

Mac N' Cheese

This sounds really good right now...

Apple Cider Vinegar

The last week i have been taking ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) to help with my bad indigestion. My Mom said if your body needs it, the smell and taste are fine, but if not, the smell and taste is revolting. So sure enough, it smelt and tasted normal to me.

Over the week i have seen a huge difference in myself. My stomach looks more relaxed and not bloated, and i have not gotten heart burn or any indigestion at all. I feel fabulous.

There are also so many other health benefits in ACV. I've researched online and found many cures it helps inside and out.

Acne, body odor, stinky breath, plus more.

Also it can help with digestion, weight loss, strengthening immune system and lots more!

I LOVE taking pictures of food!

Today Sarah made some delicious raspberry scones that looked so pretty i had to take a picture of them! And i do love taking pictures of food, an unknown (new) hobby of mine. And lastly, thanks for my Aunt Leah (blogger of envibaby.com) letting my use her fabulous camera! (it takes really good and fast pictures!)

P.S These look like they came out of a magazine! Good job Sarah! :)

My Life Updateish!

This is red
And polka dot
I am so excited because i am actually getting to use pictures of my own! i haven't been able to use the camera for a while to upload stuff, but i finally did and today i have chickens!

a week and a half ago, we got four chickens. there names are polka dot, cross, nugget, red head (red). they are very loud, but sometimes sound like babies crying. a couple times when we first got them we kept thinking a Isaiah was crying so we went down the hall to hear. it was only the chickens. they are so much fun and cute!

getting eggs every day is such a money saver in the family! we love eggs for cakes, breakfast, sandwiches, etc! my sister was so proud about how they looked so she took a picture and it does look awesome!

o some million entries ago, i posted this great recipe that's healthy, yummy and easy to make. i didn't have a picture for it, but today i do! for lunch today we made it and had it with slices of a baguette.

ingredients:

2 cucumbers

4-6 Roma tomatoes

1 pack of mozzarella cheese (not shredded)

1 baguette (optional)

grape seed oil (or olive oil)

spices (salt, pepper, dried basil, Italian blend, granulated garlic)

dice all veggies and cheeses into a bowl.

put in spices. season to taste.

put enough oil in to wet everything. do put too much in it that it puddles.

stir (tip, always put spices in first so they stick to food)

put in a bowl with a slice of baguette and serve!

tip: you can put in onions if wanted spicier.

salami is another great thing to put in it or turkey pepperoni for more taste.

hope you enjoy this post and recipe! go ahead and try it! you dont need any cooking experience to make this delicious meal on the go or at home!

Flagstaff and Italian Food

Okay, yesterday my youth group ventured into flagstaff, all crammed into a white van. We listened to music, ate corn nuts (well, actually me :P) and chatted endlessly. We found the most awesome snowy hill ever! It would have be SOOO long if the park rangers didn't put up gates between with signs that said DANGER SLEDDING AND SKIING ARE PROHIBITED. But of course, what do you think the youth group did anyway? We walked up the hill till our lungs burst, sled till our butts froze and did the train sled till we tipped over! It was so awesome!

After awhile we drove to Flagstaff town, our jeans soaked and bums numb. our leader Jake(a.k.a rock star who met Adam Young from Owl City before he was FAMOUS!) split us into groups so we could venture around. Sarah and i ended up in Jake's group with 4 others girls with us and a group leader. Jake didn't bring a lunch and was craving pizza, so we all bunched into a fancy Italian restaurant awkwardly. it was the most awkward for me, because i had to eat my lunchable at the fancy table and the waiter kept coming over. :O Jake ordered appetizers, to split with us, and pizza for him and the other group leader.

10-15 minutes later, after much discussion overt the wildest of things, our appetizer arrived. Brave me, tried the Calamari in some strange sauce! It was okay, just very weird and chewyish (just so you know, calamari is squid) Yes, i know you're probably thinking im insane, but it was kind of nice...to try new things! Well we also had delicious...oh i cant remember what it's called! well it was toasted bread with tomato sauce, swiss cheese and good bacon! Yum!

Jake was SO nice, he also got some Italiano cake things and another thing to share with everyone! "Little piece of heaven," Our other group leader said. And yes, i agree. Pure chocolate, holiness! (Thanks Jake! :) )

Well, so after that the groups came together, we bunched into the two vans and drove to our sledding area once again. I sledded for a little bit, but mostly sat and watched. The woods were so peaceful and the snow sparkled beautifully! About two hours later, again we got in the car, and drove home with a couple of pit stops. It was fun and had us snowed out with Flagstaff and Italian Food!
