Kitchen

I made my favorite chocolate cherry whole wheat scones tonight. Delicious! I also made some whipped cream flavored with a little powdered sugar and almond extract. I love scones because they are both breakfast and dessert 😀

Pregnancy has made my blog a cooking blog for the time being! Don’t worry, I’m still sewing, walking, and napping in addition to just eating 😉

Derek and I made Beef and Portobello Turnovers for dinner. I never make this dish without my sweet kitchen assistant. He pours in the filling and closes up the pastry while I roll out the dough. If he didn’t help my dough would end up too warm and melty. Anyhow, it’s a great weekend cooking together project that was totally set off by those steamed sugar snap peas. Yummy.

My dad makes the original cheesy egg thingy in a pan started on the stove and finished in the broiler. It usually contains only egg and cheese (sometimes meat) and a side of toppings, but I’m too lazy to do all the sides separate. This version was super simple and Derek loved it. Here’s what’s in it:
Carmelized Onions
Sausage links cut up
Apple cut up
7 eggs whisked with a squirt of milk and mustard.
Cheddar cheese on top (added halfway through the baking)
Baked at 400 til the middle is set.

(PS I did make a cake. It was yummy and I made Derek take the rest to work to give away. Thanks Kaykers for the cake flour tip. Mmmmm)

Last weeks excitement has totally worn me out! The visit from the nephews, Shepherding group, SCORE!, dance rehearsals and performances, scurrying to finish all the costumes, the list goes one… Whew! All I want to do is nap! I’m feeling pretty good today and managed to clear and reload the dishwasher (trust me: that is an accomplishment!) and am totally thinking about making a cake. Something about cake just sounds yummy right now. I wonder if I have the ingredients to make one? I may have to foray upstairs and get started… that is if the dishwasher will kindly release my mixer bowl…
