A picture says a thousand words

 These are a compilation of some food I have made in the past that I may not have given any attention too.
These two up top are one and the same. On the Left is a whole veggie pie. This is made with a simple pie crust and then thinly sliced carrots and zucchini. I then covered in an egg wash and added seasoning. This is a good way to eat your veggies and not feel like you're eating veggies. On the right is the same thing just individual. This could be a side dish to a meal or a meal itself.

 I may have posted on this item before. On the left is a dessert chimichanga. This means I stuffed a tortilla with cream cheese and a few other items rolled it up and deep fried it. I then rolled it in brown sugar and topped it off with fresh strawberries. If you cut it up it makes perfect bite sized dessert to share. Or you can go on the tart side and do something like what is on the right. This little tart is tart due to the raspberry mousse that is used as a filling.

 On the left is a blueberry crumb loaf. Just like New York  crumb cake this one is stuffed with blueberries. Giving it a moist taste to pair with he sweat crumb topping. If you just want sweat try what is on the right, a chocolate bread. Instead of making this bread in a loaf pan I did individual breads in soufflé dishes. This way no one fights over who gets what piece.

 Here we have old fashion donuts. For those of you who have a hard time working with yeast these are perfect. No yeast is involved. Plus for every donut you make you get a donut whole. Or you can do what I did and just make donut holes. After frying these bad boys up you give them a simple glaze. To jazz up any donut you can add different sauces or toppings.

 Here I have a couple types of cookies. On the left is a nice creamy peanut butter cookie. I know there is a lot of ways to make a peanut butter cookie but these little guys were a hit so I'm sticking with them. On the right I have what is called an Italian wedding knot. I'm Italian and I have never seen these at a wedding, and I have been to my share. Also as you can tell there not in a knot. Thats because its dough which means it can be shaped into any thing you like.

 What I have here are a few items for 4 of July. I am not a jello fan and I feel like the 4 of July is when all the jello comes out of hiding. On the left is a simple chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Then as you can see I added some fresh summer fruit and turned it into a flag. It's patriotic and semi healthy. On the right I have my take on a s'more. Instead of chocolate and gram crackers I mixed coco puffs and golden grams together into a rice crispy treat. I then topped each one off with a roasted marshmallow. This crunchy treat travels well and makes for great for large groups. Plus no fire is needed so its safe for kids.

 Getting into some breakfast foodI have two simple items to choose from. On the left is play on a quiche. Have you ever had left over bread but no sandwich items? Well, know you just slice that up and let it soak in an egg and milk mixture. Once the bread has absorbed most the liquid you pour it into a pan. Then add what ever toppings you want. I did sautéed spinach with mushroom. The I covered it in feta, parmesan, and mozzarella. Bake it until it is nicely browned for a perfect breakfast dish. On the right is an eggs Benedict. This simple poached egg is laying on a bed of spinach and bacon. The bacon gives it a nice meaty crunch which pairs well with he creamy hollandaise sauce.

The last items for today. This gets you through dinner and dessert. On the left is a casserole. That is pasta, shredded chicken, in a cream sauce. I added diced asparagus to give it some color and crunch. Then on the right is an easy ice cream. I froze banana (make sure you peel it first, I learned the hard way). So take the frozen banana and blend it. Thats it, you can add other things if you like. I added melted chocolate to give it a sort of chocolate shavings feel. Its healthy and really taste like ice cream.
