Cooking [and other fun stuff]

Thursday, May 24, 2012
Basically this is, and the next post, going to be a food montage.  Score!
Over the past six months I have developed a liking for cooking!  I used to hate it.  It took too long, it wasn't interesting, it sucked.  Yet I always thought baking was fun—probably only because it results in things like cookies, cakes, cupcakes, banana bread, etc.
But I have cooked a lot over these months and it has been pretty fun.

Food by Mark and Shannah
Breakfast of Champions 
It was our "break" breakfast, which means we got to eat anything we wanted for this breakfast meal. Except we had it for dinner....  It was delicious!

Divine thick pancakes are a must

Peanut butter is good on just about everything

Mountain Man portion of our meal.
Spicy Sausage, Onions, Green Peppers, Eggs and Hash Browns



Needless to say we ate a lot.  A lot...
Oh my gosh, yes, it was indeed extremely tasty!


Philly
Our second attempt. The first time we made it the meat was better, but this was still a success.

Obviously the taste was great seeing as I ate a good portion of it before the picture.
Green Peppers, Onions, London Broil Beef and Cheese

The picture does not do it justice.  I personally think Mark and I make some dang good Phillies. 


Reeses Milkshakes
We ended up adding too much milk to these.  They were good, but when we got about halfway done drinking it, it became more like milk. So we'll adjust that next time. 





We really really want to make a homemade Pesto one of these days.  One problem: the freaking basil leaves[keep in mind that is but ONE of the ingredients] are more expensive than just buying a jar of pesto.  Laaammee.  So one day when we are rich and famous we'll make a Pesto and I'll be sure to share our adventure with you. 

"Hike" to the U at the University of Utah
Mark and I decided to hike to the U on the mountain and bring lunch the other day.
I've heard it referred to as a hike.  Wrong.  It was a drive followed then an evening stroll.
Though was still very pretty how it overlooked a good chunk of the valley.


It turned out to be pretty windy and cloudy that day.  That didn't spoil our fun, it just made
it difficult for me to eat my Subway sandwich without
getting a mouthful of hair too from the wind blowing it everywhere.




My home is beautiful!
