A man and his pie

This his how my father eats his pie. The problem is, he often can't find his pie under all that whipped cream.......

Just in time for Christmas!

Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas eve!!! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves.

I just wanted to share a video I made on how to make these really great chocolate topped pretzels that are perfect for the holidays. I know it's cutting it a bit short, but it takes only ten minutes to make, and it tastes really good. Please try it!

Have you ever gone through the dilemma after mealtime "what's for dessert?" you suggest brownies, your dad suggests cookies, and you know that this can only end in tears. Which one should we pick?! Well, I think I have a solution! Why not have both?! Watch the following video to get the perfect solution:

You can find this, and other videos by me on my youtube channel!

PS
Only 9 days until my Birthday!!! I know the countdown says 8 days, but that is because it somehow got all messed up. My birthday is on the 3rd.

Welcome to Fall!

I thought I would bring in the autumn season by telling you all my favorite things about this time of year:

We'll start off with the ever favorited caramel apple :)



And, of course. Halloween, America's excuse to wear costumes!(Of course, I don't need a reason)



You can't leave out the wonderful colors!!!



And last, but certainly not least, the fashions in fall! My favorite articles of clothing are boots, scarves and tights, so I fit right in to this season :)

Autumn is just a wonderful season, and I'm glad it's finally here!!!

Of noodles and cheese......

Tonight for dinner, we had backed spaghetti. Oh yes! It was made by my Darling dad, the king of creating some marvelous dish out of whatever is in the pantry. Yum!

Want the recipe? Here you go:

Cook angel-hair noodles(or whatever noodles you prefer) until they are ALMOST done.

Grill some chicken breasts. Dad made three, because there are three of us.

Take chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic(or spaghetti sauce from the jar)and mix with the noodles in an oven-safe dish.Arrange chicken on top and cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.

bake in the oven at 425 degrees for a couple minutes,(when the cheese is melted, with little bits of golden brown spots)

Then, take it out, let it cool, and dig in!

Here is the phootgraphic evidence of it's deliciousness!
