So now that I've become an official Pinterest junkie, my creative juices are flowing. Or trying to any way. I've got so many ideas from that site, and so many inspirations from the already existing ideas.One thing I really want to start doing more of, is cooking! REAL cooking! Not boring, same as always, family favorites cooking. I mean I want to TRY new things. I will tell you the only thing that ever stopped me from this was the fact that I have an incredibly picky husband.
I decided tonight (or kind of at the grocery store) that I was going to make manicotti. To be honest, when I cook, I tend to skip on details, like a tablespoon of parsley, and yada yada. I bought the noodles and ricotta cheese today, and then once home found a recipe online. I started putting it all together, and for the first time ever, I had every single ingredient in my possession! Go me!
My husband of course tried to talk me out of it for about half hour, when I finally said, "feel free to make yourself dinner." Hehe.
It was fun! I made manicotti, one of my favorite foods, for the first time ever tonight! It was amazing, and even my husband thought so, going on and on about how the noodles were cooked to perfection. He is extremely OCD when it comes to noodles. And even HE was impressed. Success!
It was a Good night! Actually a great day in general! My daughter turned TWO!
She kind of inspired the manicotti. I wanted to make a dinner she would like, and she loves pasta... well noodles and butter. So I made the kids that, and Mommy and Daddy manicotti. The kids actually ate every single noodle on their plate, garlic bread included. I felt like Super Mom!
Speaking of cooking, I made some cupcakes for Olivia's Birthday. She is having a party next weekend, but I wanted her to still have something on her Birthday. So I made the most amazing cupcakes I've ever had. I put an oreo in the bottom of the cups, and than poured devil's food cake batter over them and iced them with a very thin cream cheese frosting. I don't even like cupcakes, or cake very much, for that matter, but these were AMAZING!
It's been a yummy weekend! :)
