    HCB #46: Buttermilk heaven

    I’m not a big breakfast eater… honestly, I find the whole breakfast routine to be rather tiresome.. I can think of a number of other things that I’d rather do, with that time spent on making breakfast in the morning… just saying. But, I know it’s the most important meal of the day bla bla bla; so I made buttermilk scones.

    I love making dough 🙂
    roll it out to your desired thickness
    time to cut em out!
    egg wash those bad boys!
    you know I’m a sucka for cranberries!

    I just wake up, warm one up, put some butter on it and I’m gone. 2 minutes tops. Works good for me, more time to do other stuff 🙂
    Happy Cooking!

    HCB #45: eat this PIE…

    “But I, when I undress me..Each night, upon my knees..Will ask the Lord to bless me..With apple-pie and cheese.”~Eugene Field
    It was raining, I didn’t wanna watch TV or be on the computer so… LOL
    gotta work that dough the right way… easiest dough to make ever
    it should feel nice and firm but soft…
    roll it over your pan (easier if you wrap the dough around the rolling pin and then lay it over the pan)
    Before rolling, I cut the dough into two pieces; one for the bottom and one for the top…
    easiest way to trim the excess is to roll the rolling pin over the pie
    I pre-baked it for like a minute or two

    apples just dying to just bust out the damn seams!
    poke some holes in it…

    I gotta get some Vanilla Ice Cream first!
    stay tuned…
    Happy Cooking
    peace and love

    HCB #14: Food makeover!

    Before…
     
    mmmm golden deliciousness!
    I needed to stop myself from unleashing a can of whoop ass on my vaio!… so I decided to bake while Youtube SLOWLY uploaded my videos… *kissing teeth!*
    The videos were STILL uploading, so I figured I’d do a little piping…
    Happy cooking!

    HCB #12:Pink velvet cake?

    I expected Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie to have all kinds of goodness! Just like a yummy piece of birthday cake. Great flavor, texture, delish icing, and oh the excitement from blowing those candles out is so exhilarating! (although it seems that once people are past or approaching 30, they don’t want candles on that cake anymore… WEIRD)

    So, I saw Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland a couple days ago and was sooooooooooooooooooo unimpressed. And I mean unimpressed in the real sense, not a twisted wonderland idea that being un-impressed is just another way of saying you are impressed… sorta like the Happy u-birthday. Lol
    Anyway, I’d been holding off from watching it when it was released in order to build up the anticipation, so you can imagine how amped I was to see it after it had been on the scene for a couple days.

    This movie was like, finally hooking up with a long time crush and he’s a BAD kisser, TERRIBLE at foreplay, and in need of some SERIOUS Pipe skills! ARGH!
    I had really high hopes for this movie, as it’s been a childhood favourtite, and I have to admit that I’ve watched several times in my adult life too (okay MANY times), so I was expecting to be wowed outta my seat. Instead I found myself dosing off a couple (most) times, WTF??? The whole movie just led to her slaying the Jabberwocky… *snore*  um there’s a fantastic story behind Alice in Wonderland, so I don’t get why they slacked on the story line; focusing on all that 3D crap, leaving us with a shitty shitty movie.
    IT SUCKED ASS! I give the movie 2 stars for the cool 3-D effects, and a BIG FAT ZERO for everything else. It could’ve been more trippier, creepier, and MORE MAGICAL. I’m jus sayin… and I know I’m not the only one lol… did you like it?
    Happy Unbirthday!!
    *BIG fat kisses!*
    ♥Bella♥
    ps: I used a traditional red velvet cake recipe, with some special twists of my own, piped on some Cream cheese icing and I was good to gooooo!

    HCB#5: Lemony Vanilla LOVE

    Yum and Yum!
    I’m still tryna will summer as you can see… lol
    Can’t go wrong with lemon and vanilla!



    Lemon in everything!!





    add some lemon zest to the sugar





    sooo pretty…


    However you want it…



    lil sugar on top…



    or you could have it naked…
    I used a basic sponge recipe, with some of my little tricks for added moisture, and a huge dose of L-O-V-E. 
    Add some zest, vanilla extract or vanilla bean, and you’ve got magic baby! The vanilla softens the acidity of the lemon, but definitely doesn’t mask it! Top it off with some icing, a lil lemon sugar or just keep it in it’s birthday suit; it’s tasty all the same â™¥
