Something more than sugar

This is me! ^  :D

These days i've been cooking for me like everyday, since i can't eat dessert always and just as my complete meal i've been experimenting with my savory side. I must admit that i have a really good touch with that kind of food that wasn't my specialty.

I know that by now you may have noticed that I'm a sugar-color freak, and yes, I am. But since time (and my oven) isn't helping much, I´ve decided to give my blog a twist with the things I'm able to do in my tiny room (:

So since I love to crochet and it doesn't require much I've been crocheting, scarves and amigurumi (don't you love those cute-tiny-things?) So one of the themes I'll be posting about is amigurumi.

Another theme is painting nails, I know that since I am studying culinary arts, I'm not supposed to wear any nail polish, but I have some free days out of the kitchen so I paint my nails :D Great right?

And the last but not least topic of my posts is... all things handcrafted. Don't you like when a friend gives you something he did with his own hands? I do, and I also love to give presents that I've made, that's why I´d like to share the things I know about crafty world with you.

Getting into what we're interested... here's my most recent mani, since it was for Halloween I did some happy zombies (:

I hope you enjoy the things I post from now on & that you find them useful. If you have any suggestion I'm eager to hear it, also if you want me to post something special or do tutorials of some things. I'm happy knowing that you like the things in my blog.

Unpacked, New Kitchen & Roomies

Hey everyone! i know I've been absent for a really long time but I must tell you what I've been up to these days.

First of all, I'm already at my "new" apartment, everything's in it's place, I know which one's the hot water, i cook every now & then for the week & I'm in a new city. Everything here is new to me so i'm learning, and will be learning for a long time.

Another thing I have to say, is that for the first week I was out of internet and also my pc broke, so it was in the ICU 'till it came back to me this week. I'm really very (very) excited to be writing again, but maybe some of the things I will post will not be made in this days, i will dig in my pictures to see what i have. The reason is because i'm still in the transition path from hs to college. Everything is a little bit harder, i spend more time on class, less hanging out w/friends, but i'm enjoying it. Also i'm in a new kitchen, new territory, new oven, new everything, I don't know if my roomie would be annoyed if i spend all day in the kitchen, but right now i don't feel like figuring it out.

So, i promise i will be doing some more testing and photographing ('cause i can't live without it) in the days to come, but please be patient (patience is something i need to work on). Meanwhile i leave you this picture.

Maybe resolution isn't as good, but it's from like 5 or 6 years ago, one of the first cakes i decided to give to a friend in his birthday. I LOVE MICKEY MOUSE SPRINKLES! ♥

Thanks so much for stopping by, soon you will be rewarded with great recipes (:

Hugs&kisses for you all :D

Starting to pack & an apple pie

Lately, I've been really busy with the new apartment thing so it's been so hard for me to post or even cook/bake. I've been travelling, here & there. I'm not yet completely installed in the apartment so I've eaten at burger king, at the market, or just a Starbucks’ coffee. I think I don’t have much to write about the combos, how they changed coca-cola for pepsi, and how there was no jalapeño for my fries.

But, a friend of my mom asked me to bake for her an apple pie, and I was delighted with the idea, it was the perfect time for me to relax and do what I find most enjoyable: BAKE.

New Look & a Strawberry Cheesecake

Hey there, everyone! As you know (or may not know) my blog suffered a radical change. Something took over my mind so I decided to change everything. As you now can see, the background's different, also the name & header. But I'm still the same; I'll continue sharing recipes, tips and photographs with you.

Today I came with a Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe.

This recipe is significant for me, because every Christmas or any gathering with family, we always share this cheesecake, we usually don't put any kind of toppings, but this time I decided to put some strawberries on top for better looks & taste.

Cheesecake is one of my family's favorite desserts and not everyone has that "special touch", so when my family said it was delicious and they wanted more, I felt happy & really excited. It was the first time I baked it and it had great acceptance. 

Have you ever had that feeling that comes after being accepted for something? I did that time. That my aunt (the one who bakes it) told me it was great and that I was good at cooking was a boost to my self-esteem, confidence, and everything else.

Make Over!

Hey there everyone, I've got news! I'm giving my blog a complete makeover!!
This make over includes: a new name, new background & stuff like that.

You may ask, why? I wasn't bored of how my blog looked, actually is something that goes a long way with myself. I felt that I needed to change my blog as I am changing. I started (or am about to) a new phase in my life and I want my blog (which is very important for me) to change along & reflect what I am feeling & thinking at the moment.

Don't worry, older posts will not be deleted, the recipes that I've posted are going to be available any time, but I hope that as I like the new everything of the blog, you will like it too. I'm working hard here.

I want to thank a friend of mine who has been very supportive with this change (in my life & blog). N is a great person, so nice, friendly, easy-going, imaginative, and amazing, I really don't have many words to describe her awesomeness. She has stood still by my side during some rough times and even great ones; I think she would be one of the most accurate descriptions for True Friend. I think I'm getting very emotional here, so I'll better just say Thanks N! You're great; I [heart] you my friend. And the white chocolate chip chocolate cookies post (coming soon) is especially for you.

Well, I think that's all for this post, I'll tweet the date of the release of the new image and name of the blog. Thanks for your visits & I hope that you find my recipes useful. [The new URL will be available soon.]

Thank you for stopping by!

Peace. OX
