My first instinct for the topic “something I made” was to
post a picture of mini-me and/or my belly and call it a day BUT I figured that that’s probably not what
was intended when this topic was chosen.
I think I’ve said before, I’m in awe of those artsy-crafty,
uber-creative mommas (Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom – I’m looking at you!) BUT sadly, I
am not one of them. I often pin these super cute DIY ideas but they rarely come
to fruition. I could blame parenting and working full-time, but other mommas do
it so those excuses don’t really fly. The reality of the situation is, I’m just
not super crafty. That, and I’m a perfectionist so when I try and do some of
those things and they don’t turn out
absolutely perfect, I’m horribly hard on myself. As a result, I tend just not
to try.
That got me thinking, there’s got to be something that I
make that I’m proud of. I’m not sure if this is my pregnant-lady non-stop
hunger speaking but I can make some pretty good food when I have the time.
So here’s a smattering of yummy eats I've made.
Mmmmm cake
now I want BBQ!
mac and cheese 'muffins' I whipped up (a HUGE hit with mini-me)
who doesn't love a yummy quiche?
Okay, that's nothing astounding. I really thought I had some better, more delectable looking dishes but either my memory is faulty or I forgot to take pics (let's go with the forgetting to take pics).
I will say, that I truly wish I had more time to just ‘hang’
in the kitchen. I love baking and creating meals but I've gotten into the habit
of making whatever is quick and easy. I still enjoy all most of the time I get to spend in the kitchen but even more so when I'm not rushing (or cleaning).
I will have to add "more quality time in the kitchen" to my ever-expanding to-do list!

What do you make that you’re really proud of???? (doesn't
have to be food) – feel free to share a link, I’d love to check out all of your
handiwork (whatever it may be)!

that was for Annabelle's birthday last year!
DeleteYes, I may have to do a mac and cheese muffin post!
Oh that cake looked beautiful. That is not easy in itself. And I must say for cooking simple, all those meals looked AMAZING!! I'm with Doused in Pink, a recipe for those mac and cheese muffins would be great!
ReplyDeletethanks Michelle! Cakes are super time-consuming but so yummy! Sometimes the most simple recipes are the best!
DeleteOh my! I think I could eat my computer screen right now! Yummy food!
ReplyDelete:) If I've made people hungry, than I've succeeded!
DeleteMaybe fashion and crafts don't go together! The pink cake looks so yummy and makes we want to eat cake for breakfast!
ReplyDeletelol that may be true!
DeleteI've definitely had cake for breakfast a few times :)
OMG that cake looks amazing!!!! Your food all looks yummy!
ReplyDeletethanks Anna!
DeleteI have cake envy.
ReplyDeletewell I have crafty-mom envy :)
DeleteI think creativity comes in all different forms and maybe yours is in FOOD! I love how you decorated that pink cake, so pretty! And, I can't wait for Spring and Summer and BBQ!!! Plus, I always leave the BBQ'ing to my husband, so way to go on the skewers!! Thanks for the call out... haha. You're too sweet! I have always been into crafty stuff, but even I have done a bad craft or two!!
ReplyDeleteHahah you had to know i was going to mention you, you're super crafty (and organized!!)
DeleteMmmmm BBQ! We got a new one last year and I LOVE it!
You are making me hungry :) hehe, those mac and cheese things look good!
ReplyDeletethey were delish! And perfect to freeze and bring out later!
DeleteYou and I think alike - I was tempted to put a picture of the boys and call it good! I'm not even creative in the kitchen - I don't really like to cook either. Everything you made looks delicious! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletelol that's too funny!
DeleteOur kids are our best creations to date, I'm sure of that!
Ha - your first idea is a good one! That mini cake is so cute. I love spending time in the kitchen, but I do not like the prep or clean-up.
