Perfect Saturday Morning
Sorry loyal readers for not updating in a long time!!!
This morning was a perfect morning to take a stroll to one of my fave local coffee spots, Chocolate Fish, on 3rd and Q Streets. Excellent coffee and fun staff makes for a good time.
Get the Flat White, a short latte, speciality from New Zeland. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO IT. You’d ruin it’s great balance of espresso and foam. Plus, great latte art! Enjoy with a bite of their apricot rugelach. Mmm…
Wednesday = Cookin dinner for friends
Wednesday as of today, has officially become “Karla Cooks Dinner for her Friends at Dom’s House” (yes, the title needs work). One of Dom’s fave dishes that I make is a very Americanized chow mein dish w/ thick noodles. Tonight I made that and every time it’s different but evokes the same feeling of familiarity and love.
PIE! Pt. 2
Since I still have a lot of dough left (and a secondary pie mold…there was a sale!) today I made apple pies!!! My mom has a sick love for Mickey D’d apple pies so here’s to a “healthier” version!
PIE!
Thanks to a gift certificate to Williams Sonoma, I bought adorable little pie molds. So, today I made mini pumpkin pies!!
Cold Rainy Day Eats
One of my favorite ways to warm up AND clean out the fridge, freezer and pantry – vegetarian chilli!!! (And of course, jalapeño corn muffins!)
I love sour cream.
I can eat a LOT of it too (scary).
However, in the pursuit of healthier eating, I have switched to nonfat yogurt as a substitute and it works just fine.
So top your chilli with cool yogurt and enjoy!
Giant Cupcake
Today was nephew Ethan’s 1st Birthday! In celebration, I decided to make a giant cupcake (and use it as an excuse to play with fondant for the first time).
