Yum! Steak, sweet potato, and poblano fajitas. Easy to make and soooo delicious!

Finished my Master of Science in Library and Information Science, we moved to Austin, and I am currently trolling for a job in a library or archive. We are ridiculously happy in Texas, but since I am still playing housewife the baking has been going strong.

Cooking recap

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything on here. It was not for lack of cooking, but school, wedding, and life has kept me from posting pictures. So a cooking recap of what I have been up to lately:

Pizza:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies:

Pretzels:

Test Run Turkey

Here is my test run Thanksgiving dinner. It thankfully came out really well. I glazed the turkey, which I have never attempted before, and it tasted wonderful. Plus homemade whole cranberry sauce, honey glazed carrots, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and corn on the cob. Of course there will be a ton more food at Thanksgiving, but there were only two of us eating that night.

Chili and Macaroons

Last weekend I made up some macaroons and chili for Sunday dinner. I have never made macaroons, but they were really simple and tasted SOOO good. All eggy and coconutty. I decided to use two types of beans in the chili and was pleased with the taste. Here are the pics.

Chili beans, they look so pretty:

Dessert, well okay we actually ate these first:


Today I am practicing Thanksgiving dinner. Pictures to come later.

Ribs and muffins

So it has been a while since I have posted. It is fall again!! Yea! I love to cook in the fall. Once the weather turns cold the urge comes back. Football season began and in honor of that I made some coca cola glazed ribs and corn on the cob. The blog I found the recipe on is a great Southern cooking blog, and I love it. Here is a picture:



This morning I used some of the apples we picked last weekend and made some apple muffins with cinnamon streusel topping :



They smelled SO good baking, and they tasted just as good. How am I ever going to loose weight during the winter??

Blueberry Muffins...

that are so good I don't have to go to the bakery to buy them again. I also do not have to use any box mixes again. Lower sodium and I know what is going into my muffins! They were fantastic! I do not have a picture, but that is probably a good thing. Licking the screen tends to ruin your computer...
