Just thought I would share some of the dinners I've made over the past few weeks. Like I said before I love, love, LOVE to share pictures. I know that soon I am going to be needing to invest in a camera.

Thought I would take some time and share some of the recipes I have worked on over the past couple months. I have to say that I am somewhat of a food picture taking WHORE. Yes I said WHORE. No I am not a woman of the night I am just goin hard in the paint<--didn't even feel right typing it. You get the point. I click a picture of almost everything that goes in my mouth. (that's what she said)

Ok enough with the POP culture, back to my goodies.

Whenever I make pizza, it's usally not the "normal"cheese and pepperoni. I am a freak for all kinds of different toppings.

This one is my South West BBQ Chicken. Though VERY messy

very yummy, and worth a finger lick or two.

Yet again another Non-Traditional Pizza

This one was good, but not GREAT.

Jalapeño, Onion and Fetta chesse. Yah

we will call that one a TESTER.

Red Velvet Smurf Cake! It's funny what living in the mentality of a child can do for you from

time to time. Again I wanted to Jazz it up again. I thought, Oh food coloring, ahhh frosting.. mix mix mix.. PRETTY COLORS ..hence Smurf Velvet.

This next guy right here was a greasy deep dish slice of HEAVEN. SERIOUSLY! This was like a Philly Cheese Steak meets Cheese on steriods. There was mushrooms, onions, ground beef,onions, mozerella, fetta, chedder. Ummm, I think I had some EXTRA inspiration while making this one. Yah..I did. :0)

Cookies and Cream

I have had this recipe sitting in my Purple recipe book and it took Lyn visiting for these cookies to manifest.

I thought it would be difficult but it was fairly simple. The hardest part was mixing the cream, as my hand held mixer decided to croak. Yep, died right in my hands. In pain at that.

so I had to kinda whip the cream in my own special way, but we got it done!

Debra Lyn insisted in taking a taking Picture of me as I constructed the cookies, she said I was an artist at work. She's cute, and she made me feel like a pro.

Sometimes it just feels so natural when everything just comes together. I get inspired by that fact that even though I bake and cook Gluten Free, that doesn't mean it should be any less flavorful. Trust me these has just as much chocolate and cream goodness you could get from those store bought Oreo's. I even dipped them in milk!

As you can see from my dirty Apron I have a tendency to get messy. LOL

haha, he looks silly but trust me he was enjoying them

Busy Little Worker Me

Banana Creme Pie

With Cool Whip topping

and Caramel Drizzle

I have to admit that I am some what disappointed in my lack of enthusiasm with my posts. It's not that I don't love to bake/cook, it's just smashing everything into one day. Completing it all can be over whelming.

Ok enough of a rant, lets talk FOOD.

Over the past couple weeks I have tried to, at least, once a week make something new. I have sooo many recipes just waiting to be whipped up. Most of the time when I decide on what I will concur <--(pokes chest out, chin up, nod!) all come from what I have in the house.

The "inspiration" for the Banana Creme pie was three bananas in a bowl on my kitchen table screaming, "PLEASE DON'T WASTE US, WE CAN BE USED FOR SOMETHING TASTY AND GLUTEN FREE" originally I was going to just make Banana pudding. Fast forward tome standing in the gluten free isle at Wegmans, seeing someone place the last box of Gluten Free Cinnamon Graham crackers down<-- Insert FATE and instant inspiration! I knew right there I was going to go home and make something divine. Hence the final master piece. See above!

Vietnamese Summer Rolls

<----Those are heaven in a form of a sticky Shrimp stuffed Roll!

Now my next project came with the help of my Preggers bestfriend, Lyn. Having a prego around helps with the inspiration, and dissolves any guilt you may have while consuming too much food. I say the sympathy I was having for her hunger made me eat more. Just a thought.

We love, love, love to eat PHO, and whenever we get Pho, Summer Rolls are a must. This Recipe is very simple to make, just a little time consuming. I find it rather difficult to not munch on one or two while you're doing all that stuffing and wrapping. As you can see my rolls are rolled a little more neatly.Clears throat with a slight tone of accomplishment, I was under the influence of some "medication" so I was bent on making them look perfect. This "medication" helps me to focus, and my impatientness diminished. Now there is usually a Peanut Sauce that goes with the Rolls, but thanks to the forgetfulness I have I didn't have any GF soy sauce. I tried to whip up some kind of peanut sauce using peanut butter, Roster Sauce and some other ingredients. Wasn't like the Pho places, but it was interesting.

Poppy Seed Lemon Bread

Again I have my resources around the house, and

preggers Lyn to thank for this one. I am a huge fan of lemon and poppy seeds! This bread was absolutely amazing. Next time I will have to go less on the lemon glaze, it was just a tad too tart. Even with the slight tang bite to it, the bread was so moist. Crispy crust and moist warm inside. My mouth is literally watering as I type this. I can't wait to visit my family to have them try out all my new goodies.
