Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

I always like to try new things, so this week I think it was Wednesday I decided to make Banana chocolate chip pancakes. So good! I have never made pancakes with banana so it was a new experience, it was a lot of fun and they came out pretty good. The only problem I had was that it got stuck to the pan so it got ruined when I tried to take it out:( I switched pan after that and the second once came out with no problems. I got the idea from the song banana pancakes by Jack Johnson and from my friend from work that told me she had eaten banana pancakes the previous day.

Late...

This week was an okay week, I had my older's sisters birthday on Tuesday so I had decided to make her something special. I talked over it with my mom on what to make her, we decided on these potatoes with melted cheddar cheese on top(it looked really good on the picture). I went to publix after work with my sister Camila and we got all the ingredients, came home and I started cooking. I cooked for a while and once everything was ready, all that was missing was my sister....I had spoken with her earlier and she told me she was coming home around 8:00pm. So I waited around 9:30ish she finally showed up everything was cold and I was a little upset. I ignored it we had some potato I wasn't exactly happy but what can you do? I wasn't going to ruin her birthday just because she was late. We had cake later and that was that.

Presentation

Next week on monday (May 10th) will be the day when I get the opportunity to share with everyone what I have been working on. This semester has provided me with what i want to do with my life, I got the best opportunity, I got the opportunity to cook. To do what I absolutely love to do! I love to cook, and on May 10th i will get the chance to share that passion. Cooking allows me to express myself, it's a relaxing feeling. For my presentation I am planning on making a brunch type meal, I want to incorporate fruits, sweets and salts. I have a plan and I know that it will be outstanding! 

Italian week

This past week was very hectic and surprising. As president of the Italian Honor Society I had to plan the induction ceremony for the new inductees. This week was the biggest week for me as president, I had so much to do, I wanted this ceremony to be perfect. I cooked with my mom to make Italian plates for the ceremony we made a salad, a fruit appetizer and a couple of other appetizers. By Friday which was THE DAY, everything came out beautiful:) I was really proud with the outcome. The food, the decorations, the people everything came out right, yes I was freaking out the entire day but it all came together in the end. This event gave me the feeling and the experience that I will be living later on in my life, a couple of weeks a ago I changed my major to hospitality management, and this event really made me feel happy. I was happy that people loved it and that I got to live the experience, I can't wait until I start.

Sunday

Today we had a really good lunch, we had a BBQ, but it was very simple yet very delicious. We had salad with meat, arepa and an onion soup. My mom made the onion soup from scratch and it was delicious, she's so good at cooking! She's my inspiration not only for cooking but for everything:) Later in the afternoon I made dessert which was brownie with a cookie crust, as soon as they were cooled, they were gone, I think it was maybe an hour(or less) and they were ALL gone. I'm doing a little research as well for a cake ideas for a very special day that is coming up.

a great week!

This week I did a lot of things, Orly who is one of my best friends asked me to help her make a cake for coach Love's friend. I of  course agreed I would never turn down an opportunity on something new that I could learn from. We got all the ingredients and decorations, we planned it out, and began our creation. We made a had with an orange ribbon around it with a flower as the main piece, it was white with the colors of orange and pink. We also added these small eatable pear like decorations, my mom absolutely loved it! And so did coach Love which made us very happy and proud of ourselves:) I think we discovered something while working on this, we learned to work together and we got to see our talent!
