Culinary Crafts

So I have noticed that as I have been a married woman for about 2 1/2 years now that I am starting to cook better and better... and guess what?! I'm actually starting to enjoy it! Yea! Since there is just two of us it's been fun to get creative with our meals. Take for example the pic below.... We both wanted ravioli's for dinner but Danny wanted a red sauce and I wanted a light parm-cream sauce so what do we do.. we both make our own sauces! We actually end up doing this quite often and it made me laugh the other night to see our different meals so I just had to take a pic. I have really enjoyed my time cooking with Danny in the kitchen, believe it or not he is an amazing chef and I have learned a LOT from him :)


As a fun Sunday morning breakfast I decided to make cranberry cinnamon rolls.. This is the pic of them rising. They turned out REALLY YUMMY!!


Well... really Yummy except for the ones below. I had the ends of the roll left so I thought I'd try to microwave them just to see if it would work.. obviously I was wayyy off! Oops... It got so hot in the 2 min that it was in the microwave that it broke our plate! Our condo also had a wonderful burnt smell for 2 days ... you win some you lose some! haha


And for my last and greatest culinary craft... this is my little work petal creation station. I have been making petals like a mad woman for the wedding cake I'm doing in one week. What do you think? I'm not counting how many I make just square inches.. maybe I'll count them when it's all over.. I'm guessing around 700.. :)

Two separate meals at dinner has been the story of my married life. I'm happy to make chicken for Keith, but my meat-cooking skills beyond that are pretty limited. That means if he wants anything meaty he is on his own...which then means we make two very big messes in the kitchen.
