Good Eats.

I think it would be fun to have a blog dedicated to food, but since I don't have time to do that, I will just throw some of that into the mix right here. I love taking pictures of the food that I make and like to keep it in a photo album for reference when I need to look up what I made for certain events. Here are some treats I tried over my 10 day winter vacation from work (which by the way was GLORIOUS!).


Chocolate Velvet Dessert.
A chocolate wafer crust with creamy chocolate piped into the crust.


Christmas Morning- Mocha Mint Cappuccinos
Topped with whipped cream.


Cranberry Cheese Wedge
Obvi, I didn't make the cheese- but I dressed it up with some rosemary springs and sugared cranberries and fresh cherries.


Cordon Bleu Bites
A big hit for the New Year's Eve party- ham & swiss with a dijon sauce on sliced French bread.


New Year's Eve dessert- Cranberry Pear Pie & Cherry Pie
Cranberry Pear-topped with a crumb mixture of brown sugar and butter. Over 9 cups of fresh fruit in this baby!
Cherry- A double crust pie with cherries and cranberries in it and a bit of healthy walnuts. Even went over well with people who are not typically cherry pie people.



Wilbur Bud Oatmeal Cookies
For those who are not familiar, Wilbur Buds were created before the Hershey Kiss, but they did not patent it in time. They are made 2 doors down from my apartment in Lititz. I popped a Wilbur Bud in the center of chewy oatmeal cookies.


Dad's 50th cake
Chocolate layer cake with homemade frosting. Topped with strawberries and drizzled with ganache. Garnished with a "50" that I made out of melted semi-sweet chocolate. I took this to Christmas dinner and it was well-received.


Happy New Year! Here's to good food in 2011!!!!
