Life Through My Eyes
2012: what a year. It’s been filled with challenges and bumps in the road. But those were great life lessons indeed. It hasn’t been easy and I’ve written vaguely about some parts here. Nonetheless, life experiences are what it is all about. It can’t be full of roses all the time, now can it? How would …
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like these biscuits that are originally from Red Lobster. I devour them, and probably fill myself up with them before I am even served my dinner. And then take some home at the end of the night. I love them. Tonight, I made them from scratch at home! What you …
Late last week, on Friday, I made open-faced Chicken Parmesan sandwiches for dinner for my family: I had loaves of Italian bread sitting at home, and I couldn’t think of what to make with it. Here’s how I made it: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Flatten pieces …
Today I made homemade dinner rolls from scratch [with rosemary and black pepper]: Very quickly, I learned that I need a Stand Mixer. That a hand mixer simply won’t do. Not going to lie, but it was pretty hard to control the bowl and the hand mixer with the dough using the hand mixer. But …
Here’s my take on the Oven Fried Chicken that I made tonight: I originally wanted to use thyme as the main herb in the recipe, but of course I had none at the moment. I had every other type of herb in my pantry, but of course not the one I wanted/needed. Parsley, Oregano, Basil, …
Additional/continuing thoughts after my post from Friday night: I’m sick and tired of hearing about the psychological issues in the aftermath of a horrendous massacre like this. Why isn’t something done before? Why is it gone unnoticed? Psychological issues leave many hints of problems, why aren’t they caught earlier? It’s not like one day this it is developed, …
Another horrific massacre. My heart aches for the family and friends of the 27 deceased that were viciously murdered this morning. Especially the innocent 20 children who suffered and endured what no one should have to go through. Let alone at a school! It sickens me how evil some people can be. The ache I feel inside of …
Today, I made shrimp similar to the one I made a few weeks ago. This time, however, I baked it. In my opinion, it turned out better (in comparison to the sauteed version from last time). I think baking it helped the shrimp cook evenly too. As always, I kept it really simple- and used …
This is a few days late, but here’s a few of the things I made for Thanksgiving this year: Full chicken with potatoes and peas (because I don’t like turkey): Yummy is the only way to describe this. Spinach-Cheese Swirls: I had been wanting to make these for such a long time now, and I …
