Snow day soup!

So I made some snow day soup and snow day hot cocoa! Too bad all we had was chicken, noodles, onions, white wine, and tomato paste to make with it! Oh well! We got a foot of snow and its still coming!

Stuffed peppers, potato cakes, and crab cakes (with a hint of dessert!)

I stuffed peppers with onions, garlic, rice, sausage, and put cheese on top! Then I baked them, so good! I then made a potato cake which you have to layer the potatoes and cook them until a crisp on one side, flip them onto a plate and flip it back so the other side. Then bake it until it is soft-so good!!! Then I made some crab cakes with bread crumbs,lemon zest, celantro, crab, mayo and sour cream. Then I covered them in bread crumbs and pan fried them. The sauce I made is. A saracha cream sauce. It is just saracha, sour cream, and mayo. Finally dessert I made my sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting and fruit cake- so good!!! I can't wait for next weekend-super bowl- good food is coming our way!

Failure of the Hollandaise sauce

I always lately having been craving to make the Godly Hollandaise sauce. The mixture of egg yolks and butter is pure heaven. Today in my Hospitality management though, the mixture wasn't so heavenly. Me and my partner screwed it up. The first try was a broken eggy buttery mess. Second try we actually burnt the mix, who knew that was possible. The third try was a thick beautiful until it slowly broke like the first one.I was defeated. At least my poached eggs were perfect :)

Bay city times

A picture of me in the bay city times!

Roasted Chicken

I cooked this chicken on a rotisserie and then cooked carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes with some broth and white wine.

Broccoli and Cheese Soup

I cooked broccoli with some mire poix (onion,carrots, and celery). Then blended it all up added cream and cheese. I also cooked some cheese and cut it to top off the soup.
