More recent creations...

So I haven't updated in a while, but I have made more foods!!!

Cheddar Biscuits
Chili Con Carne
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Mini Apple Pie Cups topped with Smoked Applewood Cheddar Cheese

I'll upload pics of what I've got when I get a free moment.

I have to admit, baking is starting to come easier and easier to me. The pies were the first time I ever made my own crust, and I have to admit. They turned out REALLY tasty...buttery, flakey....mmmmm.

Update on my creations...

So I've been a horrible, horrible person...and have failed to update my blog with my yummy creations.

Thus, I'm going to give the readers a quick run down of what I've been up to this past month.

TRUFFLES.

yeap, chocolate + cream + heat....mmmm.

I've made the following so far:

Strawberry Balsamic Truffles
Cherry Pomagranate Truffles
Plain Truffles
Walnut Truffles
Banana Walnut Truffles
Chipotle Walnut Truffles
Orange Truffles
Raspberry Truffles

Favorites (of the roomies/coworkers): Cherry Pomagranate, Strawberry Balsamic, and Plain

I've learned alot in the past month about working with chocolate be trial and error, and I still have a lot to learn. But, it's a great learning experience for me. One day I'll write up a simple how-to on making truffles. Once I perfect my personal recipe.

Besides the truffles, I've made various impromptu dishes with my old neighbor. Really, I just helped cut vegetables and season the resulting dish.
