The Bieber Cake

For my oldest daughters 5th birthday party, it was her dream to have it Bieber themed. Being the loving mother I am, of course, her wish is my command. Now to make a Justin Bieber cake?! With the inevitable date creeping near, I had to think of something fast.This was the final product. Not bad if I say so myself.

Morning Cravings

I think we have all been there...one morning we just need something more than just the regular ol' cup of joe and bowl of cereal. My girls were asking for peanut butter and jelly for breakfast (whose kid hasn't?) so I decided upon a compromise. Why not make peanut butter and jelly french toast?! Brilliant. I know I know..I am not claiming Im the first person to come up with the idea, but I still like to consider myself rather creative ;)

Eat Pray Love Fantasy

I don't have to be a genius to know that a majority of you have seen "Eat Pray Love" starring Julia Roberts...? Am I right? Thought so. :) In that case, then I am sure you have all drooled over the scene she is slurping down that amazing spaghetti dish?!Well, I was lol. I was inspired to make a spaghetti dish that not only looked good, but tasted as good as it looked! One Friday night, my husband and I returned home late, for those of you who have young children..late is like 8:30, 9 o'clock...haha..for dinner anyhow. We wanted something somewhat fast but DELICIOUS! It was at this time I decided to try out my eat pray love spaghetti dish. I went for a classic bucatini all' amatriciana. It took approximately 50 minutes to complete and me and my husband were in pasta heaven!

I have recently started concocting my own recipes...taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that from...from recipes I have prepared for my family over the last year and I would like to post a favorite of mine. Its Honey-Sriracha Glaze Fried (then baked) Chicken. There is no limit as to how spicy you can make this glaze. I, myself, prefer things to be more on the spicy side..so its more of a personal preference :)

Honey-Sriracha glazed Chicken

Naturally you can serve it with whatever you wish, here I simply served it with some garlic mashed potatoes and corn.
