Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!


Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this



Instead it turned out like this







It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy.

BUT

Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result






It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :)

    1. Thanks! Super easy too, mix 11 oz lemon curd with 4 oz of softened cream cheese until it grows about twice its volume and spoon into a graham cracker crust. Let it sit in the freezer for a couple hours {covered of course} and slice kiwis on top! I hope you make it, and thanks for coming by!

    1. A baby on the way!? SO JEALOUS! :) Congratulations! I am a terrible cook, but slowly learning! I just started branching out a bit more and im starting to really like it. Seriously tho, i see no need to cook when soon all you will be doing is eating, sleeping, feeding and changing dirty diapers :)

      Thanks for stopping by the blog, hope to see you around here again!

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo
