Mouth Watering Photos

31 12 2009

I’ve always looked at cooking websites or The Food Network site, which is a staple, but not very many cooking blogs. I suppose if I’m going to make Hot for Food a success I better up my game in the photo department. God damn it! Check out bittersweetblog if only for the photos! mmmmm. I’m jealous :)



Worst Blogger Ever & Christmas Cookies

29 12 2009

Wow, so as you can see I am the worst blogger ever! Not really, but I can tell you I am not used to religiously updating something on the internet AT LEAST once a day. How do you super-bloggers have the time?!

Anyway I’ve been doing a lot of food stuffs over the last month. Small dinner parties, xmas baking etc. I’ll try to keep the next few posts brief,  just showing off the meals I’ve made. But first…

Christmas baking was a glorious and time consuming event that I managed to pull off in 2 days….or 21 hours…. that sounds even more impressive! I’ve never made this many cookies at any one time. 13 different varieties, arranged in a few ways, making my gift giving a hit this year with the boyfriend’s fam as well as with my relatives. The thing I realized is most people don’t like putting the time into baking xmas cookies or can’t put the time into it. I may have come up with a lucrative business idea. Just check out my unique and tasty cookie boxes! Wouldn’t you want to buy one for the holiday season…

Here’s most of what I made: (clockwise from top left)

Pumpkin Pie Hermits, Ginger Shortbread, Nutty Espresso Biscotti, Pecan Logs, Chocolate Latte Pretzels, Empire Cookies, Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Crackles, Snickerdoodles, and Gingerbread Snowflakes in the centre.

Here’s a couple more variations of cookie gifts I gave to friends and family!
