The last days of xmas break.


Okay, no this is not the last days of break. This is my breakfast this morning. Thanks to my cousin Asia I am all about learning how to poach an egg. I will perfect it sometime but for now...the experiments are still yummy.




PIONEER WOMAN DINNER ROLLS






I tried to get my man to take some pics of the part where you assemble the rolls but you put a camera in his hands and its all boob shots. Sorry but its true. I made the rolls a few weeks ago for a crab dinner we were having and they were so good I had to make them again. I do knead them alittle though. Maybe I just can't resist since kneading is one of my favorite parts of making any bready thingy. I also had extra dough left over so......


I made this bread. which made.....


This rasberry yogurt bread pudding with alittle of that strawberry glaze from that cake cooked in it.

and this was breakfast on Sunday.


STUFFED PEPPERS


easy peasy. brown some ground beef + onion, rice, diced tomatos. Cumin, salt, red chile (of course)
and....hello, garlic. I also put some monteray jack cheese in it and I used to use lentils as well which was actually pretty dang good, I should do that agian. So mix it and stuff some halved peppers. I used to cook the peppers in oil before I cut them up and maybe I'm wrong but I think this is not needed. Sure it leaves them bright green with pretty brown spots but you know...I'm not so much about presentation as I am taste.

Pre cook peppers and....

GREEN CHILES!!!!!! These are soooooo good. Throw some cheddar on the peppers and chiles and cook em up in the oven for awhile. To die for.

THE KIDS


This girl cracks me up


and obviously herself as well. Monkey


She must have been up to something. This area of the kitchen is where I keep my cinnamon sugar and I've found her all sugared up with cinnamon all over herself more than a few times.


This is from this very morning. Snowing, big fat flakes of beautiful snow





SEAN


This is purely for my entertainment. I do it because I can, and hey he let me take his picture, does he really think I'm not going to use it?


Well there you have it. In the 2 hrs it took me to load these $#@&... photos, I have had a lolli pop, popcorn and a emergen-c. I am also amazed with the air popper Asia left here. I am used to popping corn on the stove in a big stock pot with oil, shaking the hell out of it. I don't have to do that with the air popper and I know now that I will have to get one because we LOVE popcorn around here. Its a curse from my childhood. Massive metal mixing bowls of buttered popcorn and nothing else will do.
I guess thats my cue to get off my butt and go work off some of this food by shoveling the drive way. It seems the better I get at cooking the more I wanna work out so I can keep on eating the good food I cook.
So, big LOVE to you all.
