Princesses eat Flower Cupcakes

Okay, so I went a little nuts with the pictures, but my family asked for details so here you go. Alexis's first birthday was fun. We had bbq beefs sandwiches for dinner, opened presents, and ate cupcakes! Yummy! Thank you all who gave Alexis presents, they are so great! Enjoy the pictures, they really tell the story.

What's Cooking?!

I have created a new blog dedicated to food. I want to share my favorite recipes with all of my friends. Recipes range from breads to salads to main dishes to desserts. Basically, everything edible. I have also included a list of foods that are currently in season and a fun quote I like from Rachael Ray. As time goes on, I will add pictures and make this a great recipe exchange site. I would also like you to send me your favorite recipes that you feel are blog worthy. I love trying new recipes. All of the recipes I have posted are the best of its kind. I feel confident in saying that. If you try one of my recipes and you feel you have a better one, please send me yours. I am always looking for the best of the best. The link is

Valentines Day 2009

Valentines Day this year was a lot of fun. This is the last first holiday for Alexis.
Chris and I do not like to go out on Valentines Day for lots of reasons, but mainly because the restaurants are too crowded and we are homebodies. So, we stayed in and I cooked, which I love to do. The menu included parmesan chicken, parmesan couscous, peas, and homemade dinner rolls. Then, we had strawberry cheesecake for dessert. This was the first time I made a cheesecake, so I was nervous, but it turned out really tasty so I was happy. Chris bought me some white tulips which was very sweet of him. They were the centerpiece for our table. Then, I decorated the table so it had more of a restaurant feel. We ate dinner by candlelight and Alexis could not stop looking at the flickering lights of the candle. She loved it. When Alexis went to bed, Chris and I watched a movie. The movie was good. All in all, it was nothing completely out of the ordinary, but for us, it was a perfect day.
