Goal for 2012

I moved out for the first time the beginning of this year and well... I've never had to budget so much before in my life. I used to eat out all the time, but it adds up. So my goal for 2012 is to be able to cook at least one meal a week while I'm in San Antonio. I'm not that great of a cook, but I'm trying and I'm lucky to have great friends as guinea pigs! =)

Here are a couple of dishes I was able to make so far this year (it's not much, but I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished!)

Homemade Alfredo Sauce w/ Chicken, Peas, and Broccoli ^_^

One of my favorite dishes!

Cilantro-Lemon Butter Roasted Chicken

My FIRST time ever roasting a chicken. I was SO happy with my end product. I cannot wait to roast another chicken!

Salt and Pepper Fish (Made by my buddy Roger), Beef Tacos, and Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

Our taco feast =D

Cannot wait to make more dishes!

Happy eatings!!! =) =)

Food Photo Friday - Macaron Cafe NYC

While I was in NYC a couple months ago, I was on the search for some macarons. There was one place I had bookmarked, but I didn't get to try it til our last day. It took me FOREVER to find this place because I kept getting lost // kept walking to the wrong street.. LOL I'm terrible with directions! But when I finally found this place and bit into one of these chewy morsels, my stomach and heart were truly satisfied. 

A fellow foodie friend, Shelley, tweeted about this article, Airy Macarons That Rise Above the Rest (courtesy of NY Times), that was about the macaron craze going on in NYC right now. I was surprised Macaron Cafe wasn't on the list. But no fear... They SOON will be! ;]

Not only were these the BEST macarons I ever ate, they were breathtakingly beautiful. My favorite was the peanut butter macaron. Two things I love in one. YAY! 

Macaron Cafe

I just realized that they ship nationwide. Now I can have these lovely macarons anytime I want without paying for that plane ticket!

Happy eatings!! =)
