Lu has a crush, his name, Pillsbury...

The other day my mom bought pre-made sugar cookie dough for Lulu. So all day she wanted to make her cookies. A while ago she got a little kid cooking set that was really cute. It had the hat, an apron, and other random dishes and kitchen utensils (we use the whisk in the kitchen, shhhh). The hat is priceless:)

They looked... interesting. The important thing is Lu had fun.

Hey, song of the South, sweet potato fry and I shut my mouth...

Hey excuse the title, I had a sudden country outbreak ( I say it like it's a disease becuase it is). For Christmas I got the Martha Stewart Cooking School book ( I really wanted it, I love cooking but I am not really gifted in that way, lol). So I decided to try some new things on my cooking night (which is tonight, Tuesday). I decided to stick with my German roots and make wiener schnitzel. I also wanted sweet potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus I steamed, then marinated in a ginger-soy vinaigrette. It was really good and extremely easy.
GINGER-SOY VINAIGRETTE
1 1/2 t Fresh ginger, finely grated
1 t Soy sauce
2 T Rice wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 T Sunflower oil
Thinly sliced scallions
My family really liked it. I replaced the sunflower oil with canola, what can I say? I am a rule breaker.So the wiener schnitzel was also good but it scared me really bad... There I was, standing in the kitchen, cute and innocent as ever.. It was about 5:15 pm. Not a time you would expect something frightening to occur. Okay, maybe I am being a little dramatic. What happened is the grease kind of went mental and I was splattered multiple times. I don't know why it took it all out on me! It made quite the mess. But it was worth it. I tried to get a pic of the boiling oil but it was sort of trying to kill me at the time.





I was trying to do a lot at once so my mom made the sweet potatoes for me. She's so sweet:) I got this one that had a smiley face.Isn't it cute?

Yummy Stuff

The other day me and my mom made rice crispy squares. They were so good. I had no idea I liked them that much. I think that I may be addicted. The melting butter and marshmallows smelled so good but it was EXTREMELY sticky.



Today we also made gluten-free microwave chocolate cake in a mug (wow, that's a lot of adjectives). It took like 5 minutes and was really simple. The white stuff is marshmallow icing, mmmmmm....
