Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins came out very good! For once I didn't try to make them super healthy - and just tried to make them good. The recipe didn't even have that much fat - 1/3 cup oil for 8 muffins. Could be worse. Well it also had 3/4 cup of sugar. Whatever they're bad for you but they're good! I put a ton of dark chocolate chips in them which made them especially good. I also put some flax seeds in them which I thought just added to them - I enjoyed them in there. The topping didn't come out perfect - it's a mix of butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Overall I would call the recipe a success.

Pizza

Hi, I made pizza. I used Trader Joe's herb pizza dough, some nice mozzarella, Trader Joe's pizza sauce, mushrooms and green olives. The pizza didn't turn out well - first of all the dough wasn't cooked enough. I even put the dough in the oven first for about 10 or 15 minutes but I guess it wasn't enough. Secondly, it turned out a little watery. I think it was from the green olives, even though I tried to strain them. Oh well, next time I'll try to do better!

I bought gooseberries!! I thought they'd be good but they are just sour and weird! I've never had them before though so I wanted to try them. Oh well, as I always say, NOW I KNOW!!!

I made broccoli cheddar soup, as promised! :D I think it came out pretty good! My mom yelled at me a little for not measuring things out exactly, or following the recipe, but it still came out good! It has onions, a little flour, milk, chicken stock, broccoli and cheddar cheese. I put a lot of cheese, maybe that's why it tastes so good!

Sweet Potatoes

Disclaimer: I know this looks gross I don't know what I was thinking.

I rode my awesome new bike to the supermarket in search of something for dinner. I couldn't find anything that I was satisfied with, so I just got some sweet potatoes. I baked them for about an hour. They were bland and unsatisfying. I don't know why I got sweet potatoes. I should start making good food. I want to make broccoli cheddar soup because I had some today at work and it was delicious!

Fruit Plate

No, I didn't grow the fruit or anything, but the picture is so cute so I decided to make a post about it. The kiwi was a little under-ripe in my opinion. The mango was delicious, and so were the blueberries. Overall this fruit was tasty!

Cabbage Salad

This salad is amazing! My cousin taught me how to make it and it's sooooo good. It consists of green cabbage, toasted slivered almonds, toasted peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, and a dressing. All the dressing is is equal parts of soy sauce, vinegar (I used balsamic), olive oil, and honey. The nuts gave the salad a nice crunch, and the dressing just makes it soooo delicious. Plus cabbage was on sale at Henry's so the cabbage cost me about 30 cents. In other words this is a cheap salad. This is definitely one of my favorite salads.
