i <3 feeding those i <3

they shined and smiled

awoke this morning to a flood.. breakfast anyone?

poor BBQ grill~

the view from our front door:
the world holds its breath

Since yesterday I've made snickerdoodles (they were so gorgeous hoho), spicy cheese omelets in a bag (boiled in water, very nifty), cream cheese Kolacky pastries, oven baked chicken rice burrito with beans, and apple crisp for my boo-tee-pul family :-D

It's a warm, full feeling when I see my siblings demolishing all traces of the food and when I hear compliments about what I've made - considering that before this semester I had no confidence or much experience in cooking (aside from boiling water for noodles haha)
apartment life has definitely helped in this department..

Next on the Hit-List! for the next couple of days: BBQ chicken, homemade pizza, salmon with dill, parmesan tilapia, hash browns, apple walnut tuna melt, German apple pancakes, banana bread, doughy pretzels, Anna's pumpkin pie (must get her recipe! :D)

My plan is to cook as much as I can for my family before the work life consumes me. <3
