Past Post in Pictures

So...I took pics of the past couple of things I've posted about...and just now got around to uploading them for sharing :-)




Valentines day...it started with a kiss!!! A kiss on a cupcake ;-) plus a few heart shaped eggs and bacon....(but I didnt get a pic of the breakfast):
(The cupcake is devils food chocolate, homemade buttercream frosting and colored white chocolate heated in a double boiler and poured into lip molds)



Then our Valentines day to a trip up the road...and onto the Blue Ridge Parkway:

Me and Ali :-)

SPINACH STUFFED PASTA:






Mixing the filling...(spinach, a bunch of random cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper)

LOL...okay, so really...it looks pretty nasty...but it was tasty!!


GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD: (this is what we had tonight and it was y-u-m-m-y!! I took sevs chicken and rubbed hotwing sauce on it before I grilled them and then he added ranch dressing to his and left off the olives...)

Then I baked up a batch of Strawberry whipped Cream Pound Cake Cupcakes!!! Thats a mouth full....but a yummy one!! I made these for my cousins :-) I get to see them this weekend and thought I would try this new cupcake recipe out on them!!

Making the whipped cream...(heavy whipping cream, sugar and strawberries...a little milk):

Adding the strawberries:

I topped one w/ the cream, the rest will stay in the fridge until this weekend!!

So...I caught up on pictures **Sigh** finally!!!
Ali and I are crossing our fingers that our little cuz in NC is feeling much better, Dobby has been complaining of a hurt leg and Ali knows how that feels and we hope he feels better soon!!
