We've Moved!

Hey guys!! I know it feels like forever since I've posted on this blog because it has been forever!

DON'T WORRY.  I HAVEN'T STOPPED BLOGGING.

As a matter of fact... I do it WAY more than I ever did on this blog.  

I actually have a whole new theme and have my writing, cooking, crafting, and just everyday life on there.  

I couldn't delete this blog because of old posts that people still enjoy looking at.

Check it out!

Nuetella and Strawberries

One of the easiest-addictive-quick-yummy snacks ever!  It's Nutella, it HAS to be good.  If you've never had Nutella...
You need to grab your purse and car keys and go.
Just go.
It's SOOOOO Amazingly good.

I literally eat spoonfuls of it.
It's THAT good.

So why not with strawberries?
Strawberries are healthy?  Now it's a healthy snack!  Not really.... But still!

I cut out the top of the strawberries and put spoon fulls of Nutella in them.  It's great for a party!

Tip: An easy way to transport your yummy treats is to place them in an egg carton and go!

Blogs and Such

Every amazing blogger must follow amazing blogs.  Here are some of my favorite websites and blogs I LOVE to go on.  They give me inspiration for my own blog and teach me something new everyday!

1) Bakerella 
Bakerella is a blog about a woman who loves to bake creative treats.  She is more into the modern baking flare with the bright colors and lots and lots of sugar!  I've looked through her book cake pops 
many times and enjoy it every time.  It's probably one of my favorite modern cake pop recipe book.
Click here to check out Bakerella!

2) The Pioneer Woman
This blog is so much fun!  Maybe your not into cooking as much as I am and would rather learn about the home and garden, homeschooling, photography, and stories from a woman named Ree Drummond.  This little chef lives with her family on a big ranch.  She is new on the food network and has her very own show.  I love her new show on the Foodnetwork.  The pioneer woman knows her stuff.  Welcome to her Frontier!

3) Giada at Home
Giada de Laurentiis is no doubt my favorite chef ever.  She is so good on screen and is very beautiful.  Giada gives me hope because she is so skinny!  I keep telling myself, I will not get fat being a chef.... I will not get fat..... I will not get fat....  I'm so jealous of her amazing kitchen!  It's white with flogged cabinets and ahhhh I just love it.  The only sad part is that she doesn't actually have a blog or website of her own, her (sorta kinda) website is linked on food network.  I still like it a lot because they have videos, her recipes, show times, photography, biography...ect.
P.S. Giada named her daughter Jade!  Her daughter and I have the same name!

4) Jacques Torres Chocolate
Chocolate!  Chocolate!  Chocolate!  
This website is all about chocoloate.  How can you not love it already?  I would start scanning down to the bottom now and find the link and skip reading all of this!  Oh?  You decided to keep reading?  Thank you.  He has a recipe for anything and everything chocolate.  His chocolate chip cookies are THE BEST!!

5) Little Mrs.Robinson  
Little Mrs. Robinson is a blog about an everyday woman, Sarah, who lives daily in God's grace.  She shares her life with us.  Sarah has cute ideas and crafts for the home, recipes, and funny learning about life stories.  Her blog refreshes me and is an inspiration for me as a blogger and as a young woman.

Lemon Garlic Cheese Midnight Pasta

It’s a eleven o clock at night.  I’m hungry.  I scurry around the kitchen and open our wide pantry and examine all the choices.  Hmm...

Pasta.

Pasta?

Yes, Pasta.  Call me insane.  I was in the mood for pasta and wasn’t stopping.  Even though there was that little voice in my head saying:

“It’s 11 at night.  Your gonna regret this tomorrow morning.   Pasta gonna go to your hips!”

 “ You usually stay up for another hour anyway.  Tomorrow? Sleep in.  It’s Whole Grain!"

This little debate went on but it turned out, voice number 2 won.  Which I was very happy about.  So there I was filling up a pot of water to boil pasta in.  A pinch of salt add in the pasta.  Easy.

Now for the sauce,

As a matter of fact I wasn’t in the mood for regular old tomato sauce.  I was in my chef mood so I wanted to go all out.  I wanted something…

Wait, I think the pasta is done.  Let me go check.

*Meanwhile checking the pasta to see if its alienate*

Okay back, yup the pasta is done.  Now, back to the sauce.  I grated some fresh Romano cheese.  FRESH!  Not the powder stuff you buy in a containor that’s already grated.  Eww no.  Fresh.  It taste SO much better.   Place the cooked pasta in a pan on low heat.  Add olive oil (for that Italian flair) and butter (cause it taste good!) and melt it down.  Add in your cheese, garlic, and lemon.  Salt and Pepper for taste. 

Easy, Right?

                           Add the cheese!

                                                 Pretend that's a real lemon.
                                                 I would go out and buy a lemon but again,
                                                  it was eleven 'o' clock at night....

                                Seeeeeeeeee?  I told you it was whole grain!

                       Top it with Parsley.  DONE!  Now, let it cool for.... No, I'm just kidding.   DIG IN!
