Last week I tried this Quick Chocolate Martini. It’s beautiful and so good. It’s not too sweet.
I also made The Skinnygirl Margarita – Bethenny Frankel. I don’t know who is she. I didn’t made the drink because of her, I did it because I love margarita.
I made this mushroom soup last week. We loved it. I don’t know why Paula‘s soup is more dark than mine? Maybe cause I used chicken stock? Maybe with beef stock, it’s darker.
When the soup was done, I tasted it and told my boyfriend it was a little bland. And then I remembered that I forgot to add the chicken granules (I only added water). So at the last minute, I added the chicken granules. LOL It made a big difference.
I always use sodium free less fat chicken granule bebause my boyfriend has to absord a minimum of sodium. He has high blood pressure and he’s going to turn only 37 years old this Wednesday.
On this video you can see my son having fun playing Wii. In fact it’s a Gamecube’s game but it’s playable on the Wii. It was Madagascar. The quality of the video is not very good but it’s funny to hear him laugh. He knew I was there so he was always talking to me. Don’t worry if you can’t understand cause he speaks in French LOL
Today is my office “party de Noël”! (Christmas party). We’re going to be a big gang about 12-13 people.
The food is going to be amazing cause we’re going to a restaurant we tried a few times. And we love this place. A bit expensive but today we don’t have to pay 😀 After I’m going to go shopping a little bit. I have to find the gifts for my boyfriend’s birthday. And I’m going to buy armenian pizza from Arouch miummmm
I made Spaghetti and Meatballs from the blog Guilty Kitchen.
I didn’t have spaghetti squash so I used regular spaghetti with great results. Usually I don’t really like “tomato” sauce, for me there has to be meat in it. And also I’ve never made spaghetti sauce with meatballs. So that was a first for me. I really liked the taste of all combined together. The meatballs are great and yummy. Cheese on top would be great but like that it’s very good.
I made rainbow cupcakes that I seen on Picky Palate blog. Her cupcakes are so beautiful. But mine didn’t look as good as the ones she made.
I made a few changes, maybe it affected the color but the taste was great and they were so moist. I used a white cake mix instead of yellow (I don’t think it affected the color). I thought I had a instant vanilla pudding mix in the pantry, but I was wrong. I had : butterscotch, chocolate, pistachio. So I took butterscotch. Maybe it affected the color but chocolate would have been worst for the color LOL
I made only 12 cupcakes. So they were big. I was not so good at separating the colors. So I did it the best I can. I would like to present you a beautiful cupcake but I can’t for now.
Close your eyes LOL Tadam!
I wanted to do a frosting and chose Wedding Cupcake Buttercream from RecipeGirl. I did half the recipe. I’m glad cause my boyfriend and my son prefer these cupcakes without frosting. They’re so boring LOL Anyway, I kept the frosting for my cupcakes and I’ll probably have to do more cupcakes because of the leftover frosting that is waiting in the fridge 😀
I really love this buttercream. It’s so yummy!
Last week I saw this recipe of Granola Carrot Bread on the blog of Cookie Madness and I knew I had to try it.
It’s kind of dry a little bit but the taste is great and healthy. This is something I’ll do again. It was easy to do.
Yesterday I made 2 recipes from The Pioneer Woman. Both are delicious.
I made Chicken Parmigiana. I had only a 28 ounces can of crushed tomatoes. It was still great. I used red wine (Merlot). I didn’t use 1/2 cup olive oil to brown the chicken and veggies. I think it was too much. On top of the chicken, I used parmesan and reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Ranch-Style Chicken I put the chicken breasts in the marinade on Saturday. I wanted to do the recipe later in the day but was so busy doing other things that I decided to let them in the marinade up to Sunday LOL We loved the taste of the marinade on the chicken. It’s sweet but not too much. It’s great with the Dijon mustard (I used grainy).
I found this recipe on The Kitchen Mouse. At the fruit store, I already saw daikon but didn’t know what to do with that. When I saw this simple recipe, I knew I had to try it. In the recipe, I needed 5 inches of Daikon. And the one I bought was near 10 inches and only 89 cents for this whole piece. That’s not expensive.
Daikon tastes like radishes but is not strong like some radishes. I didn’t use cucumber in the salad cause I forgot to buy it.
So now I have to find a recipe for the remaining daikon I have in the fridge. 🙂
In Montreal, it’s been cloudy all day and it was supposed to be sunny. I was cold and decided to try a new recipe of hot cocoa. Believe it or not, it was my first time adding marshmallows to a hot cocoa. It was great but not my favorite. The recipe offers many variation to add. I chose to add Grand Marnier. It was so yummy. Orange and chocolate, I can’t go wrong with that 🙂 I’ll have to try with instant coffee and with peanut butter. It was really easy to do. My son liked his hot cocoa. I forgot to add the vanilla. It was still great.
This mug of Disney is so cute. It’s a blue dark with just a few characters of Disney. When we put hot beverage, the color changes in a pale blue and there are more characters. So cute. Magic! LOL
I really like this mug. 🙂
