I am addicted...

To cupcakes!! Seriously. I have this new obsession and I just can not get over it! I am in love with them! They are so cute, and they taste... Delicious! The best cupcake I have ever ate is a Lemon cupcake, with buttercream icing, decorated with pansy flowers. Yes. Real edible pansy flowers. I have found this website where they tell you everything you need to know about making these little edible flowers! Check it out HERE!

And then... My ultimate favorite cupcake books has to be this 500 Cupcakes by Fergal Connolly. Honestly, the recipes are so yummy! And they are fairly simple! Be sure to check out the entire collection... They have 500 Cookies, 500 Cakes, 500 Pies, 500 Soups, 500 Apetizers, 500 Pizzas. They are all very useful! =)

And last but not least... My body cream! Honestly, I am totally addicted to this wonderful body cream by Bodycology. The vanilla cupcake smells makes me want to... Lick my hands all the time! I just can not stop using it. I find myself putting that cream on several times a day, just because it smells good. I have never been so addicted to a cream before! I definitely need to get more of their product, I totally LOVE this brand. Check it out for yourself right HERE!

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I wanted a cupcake, I did not have one.

Home Made Chicken Pad Tai!

Ok, I promessed a recipe for the longest time now. Here it is! LOL I am sorry it took so long, I lost my USB wire to upload pictures on my computer. My step father had 3, so luckily he was able to give me one! So finally, I can stick to my words!

This week, I really didn't want to get TOO involved in the kitchen, as it is still VERY hot. However, a girl needs to eat! So I decided to make that simple Chicken Pad Tai recipe. It really is so simple fast, yet very yummy!

What you need:
Chicken- I'll let you be the judge on how much chicken you need. Of course, it'll all depends on how many people you've got to feed! Slice your chicken into bite size pieces.
Asian Stir-Fry Veggies- I normally buy the frozen ones. Considering I am alone, it just makes it that easier for me. If you prefer fresh veggies, I recommend you have brocoli, onions, green peas, carrots, mini corns and water chestnut.
Fettucini or rice noodle.
1 Egg
1 enveloppe of ClubHouse Pad Thai Seasoning Mix.

Optional: chopped peanuts, grated ginger, sesame seed,

What to do:
First, boil some water to cook your noodle. While the noodles are cooking, cook your chicken in a little bit of oil. Once your chicken is grilled a little, put it aside in your pan. Add your egg and scramble it. Once your egg is cooked, add all your vegetables and mix it all together. Let it cook by mixing it often for a couple of minutes, until your chicken is ready. Add your ClubHouse seasoning mix with 1 cup of water (add also your ginger if you decided to use any!). Let it sit there, covered, for about 5 minutes. By now, your noodles should be ready! Dump your noodles in your pan, mix it well, add your peanuts and/or sesame seeds... And you are ready to eat!

FYI- This meal will even be better the next day, as the noodles rest in the sauce, they will get more flavor!

For The Love of Cooking!

I don't know if you're like me, but when it comes to food, I just love to experiment new recipes. I am always looking for something new to make, and I rarely cook the same thing twice. At least when I am cooking for myself! Not because it ain't good, but more because I am always wanting to try new recipes and taste something new! Now that the summer has arrived, I will be eating a LOT of salads. I love salads. And I love my salads to have som fruits in it! I was browsing on the web, to find some good salads to try... And to my surprise, I found exactly what I was looking for! For the Love of Cooking has a bunch of recipes!

And there is much more than salads! I haven't tried anyting from there yet, but seriously... Everything just looks so yummy! Now... I am hungry! For the love of Cooking.net, you will see me again! =)

The belly rules the mind.
