Warm Honey Banana Cake
October 19, 2012
Dessert tonight was simple, yet delicious. I layered sliced bananas on top of a slice of angel food cake. Then, I drizzled honey over the bananas and microwaved it for 30 seconds. I squirted some whipped cream over the warm honey, bananas, and angel food cake. This was the really yummy part: I had some […]

This was my first attempt ever at making Chicken Cordon Bleu. When I studied art history abroad in France, our cafeteria served this a lot. It was ok… I knew if I went to a French restaurant it would be amazing, so I did. And it was. Three years later I’m finally making my own. […]

Planning Dinners for a Better Week
August 28, 2012
