What's cooking?



okay so the other night Aaron and I went on a date to Olive Garden and Aaron ordered steak gorgnzola alrfedo! It was so good, so I decided to try and make it. Here is what I did,


first I marinated the steaks ( I thinkg they were skirt steaks im not sure)

I marinated them in

- balsamic vinegar

- soy sauce

- and some italian seasonings, parsley and salt and pepper.

I let it marinate while I went to school co about 4 hours.


I came home and I put the steaks in a sautee pan with some of the marinade, it wanst very long just until they were done.

Then I sauteed:

1 red bell pepper

when they were tender I added:

1 tomato

and some pine nuts

after a few minutes I took that mix out and I wilted some spinach in the pan with a little olive oil.

then I cooked some fettucini noodles and warmed up some alfredo sauce, I dished that all up and I put the bell pepper mix, the spincah and steak on top with some little cube of cheese! wahla! It was good. I don't know if it was as good as Olive Garden ...but I tried!

Halloween party!


brrrr! the hay ride was freezing but it was so fun!

Don't we look creepy! I think so! :)
Boogity blue man group? bugs? who know what they are!

Ok! So I was going through everyones blogs tonight just for fun and Aaron's cousin Tacia had a really good idea, she started a blog about her cooking adventures and I thought hmmm.... thats a great idea, so i hope Tacia doesn't mind me doing this. Im not going to start a new blog but whenever I make something good that turns out I will just post what I made and the recipe. :)

I love cooking and I love to experiment. So sometimes things work and sometimes they don't! :)
Tonight Aaron worked late, when he works late his work feeds him dinner, so I didn't make dinner.....but I did make a nummy dessert. It was way easy too...... so first I baked pumpkin bread, and yes it was from a mix, I just so happened to have it, so I baked that. Then I made my mom's
butter sauce to go on top which is, 1 cup sugar,1/2 cup butter, pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of evaporated milk and you bring that to a boil and then you add 1/2 tsp. of vanilla, Then Its done. When the pumpkin bread was cool enough to cut ..... I cut it :) and then I poured some on the top and then topped it off with whip cream! it was way yummy! so that's my first posted recipe! hope
you enjoy!
