Adventures in Cooking

Hey everyone!!! So for the longest time i wanted to try my hand at recreating the Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. I saw a box of make your own at Sam's Club recently and figures after reading the box I did not need it for i had or could buy the ingredients. I finally got a block of cheese and some garlic powder at the market and after stalling for a week (turned out to be good because I got sick) I went on my journey recreate the goodness.

Here we have all the ingredients!!! Look at the glorious heaping pile of cheese!!! (i love cheese). I began with the cheese then got the other stuff out.

CHEESE!!!

Sorry, but it is so good.

Here I have mixed the butter and Bisquick together. I used a fork so that it would mush together and so that there would be the little balls of butter left, I was instructed not to mix too much.

Making messes as I get the rest of the ingredients in to mix!!!

All mixed together, said to use hands, so I did, got some under my nails. Aggg, that is the worst felling mushy stuff under the nail!!! But all was well, next step was to get it on to a greased cooking sheet. Used a spoon for that then in the oven they went.

I think I baked them for 15 minutes...um I don't remember. Any who so this adventure in cooking was not a complete flop but it didn't taste like the Red Lobster ones but they were definitely not bad. I would like to try again and fiddle with it. Also sorry i don't have final result pictures but I was hungry and wanted to try them so I forgot to take pictures but maybe next time. I will report back on the next batch and see if they taste more or less like Red Lobster. Had some fun and will try other things some time. Hope you enjoyed this.

These are a Few of my Favorite Things!!!

Aww, man should have had that song play in the backround of this vlog, oh well. Hey Hey, hope you all enjoy this silly little video of what I really like. Sorry its so long, perhaps its time to have my wonderful cousin Jenny tell me how to edit my videos. So yes enjoy and keep reading/watching for more!!!

A ModCloth Wedding or Not

So in the spirit of all things wedding I have decided to make a post about my wedding. Weddings are everywhere right now; they are really everywhere all the time but you notice more when it is happening around you, to you and everyone you know. Any who, because I love ModCloth and they have a lovely wedding and vintage section, today I am devoting my blog to how I would/what I would have picked if I did my wedding from ModCloth. Then I will give details as to where and what I really got.

First I will start off with ModCloth:

1) Aisle Be There Dress in Lily: this would be my wedding dress of choice. It has a beautiful vintage feel and it is not pure white.

      2) Take a Chanson Me Dress: my bridesmaid dress; green one of my wedding colors again with the vintage feel

          3) Paving Grace Heel: shoes for the bridesmaids, classic and clean.

4   4) Dainty Dramaturge Heel in Lavender: shoes for me, my other wedding color.

5   5) Retro Rosie Earrings in Violet: gift for bridesmaids.

I could go on but I am not sure I would do much more from ModCloth for a wedding except a gift.

Now what did I actually pick for all the items listed above?

1)   I got my dress from a bridal shop, The Wedding Day, it is an Essence of Australia dress there will be no picture because if my fiancé reads this he will see and we can’t have that. But it is beautiful and I will most likely be posting pictures of the wedding later.

2)   Chose to go to David’s Bridal for the dress my bridesmaid will don on my big day: Style Satin Wide Strap Tea Length Dress:

3)   I don’t have a specific single shoe for my bridesmaids but I did say flat silver (shiny or mat finish) shoes. We will be on grass for most of the ceremony and I do not need anyone falling.

4)   I will be donning some kind of purple flat for my big day don’t really have them yet still looking for the right style.

5)   Again can’t really post anything about what I will be giving my lovely bridesmaids because if they read this then there goes the surprise, but maybe after the wedding I will post about it.

Well I guess you could say that was a bit anti-climactic. I raveled little about my wedding and what I have chosen.  Okay a little more on it the theme is Retro Style Sleeping Beauty, retro being the 1950’s one of my all-time favorite style periods of time, sleeping beauty being me. I am getting a crown and subtly including sleeping beauty into décor and other things. My colors are purple and green with white thrown in because it is a wedding. There will be four bridesmaids, four grooms men, one flower girl and one ring barer. Hope you all enjoyed this!!! I look forward to posting about my wedding so you can see what everything looks like. Keep watch for this months Everyday Disney the villain line. Thanks for reading!!!

Everyday Disney the Villain line!!!

Happy New Year!!! And I am back once again with Everyday Disney. I guess I am going with a villain theme. This month we have Maleficent from my favorite Disney movie of all time Sleeping beauty. This is the first time I have ever done a Maleficent, never been her for Halloween or anything else. I hope you enjoy!!!

This was a fun outfit to put together, I used an old vintage pin from my grandmother some old forgotten necklace and a fun dress I don't wear often. For my make-up I did a smoky eye with a hint of purple, a purple-ish lip color and highlighted my cheek bones to make them stand out a bit more.

I got the items here:

Dress: hand me down

Tights: JcPenny

Necklace: Windsor

Pin: grandmother

Shoes: Payless

Hope you enjoy, I will be doing another Everyday Disney no latter than February.

Lets see if i keep the villain theme going!!!

Hey ya'll I am back with another everyday Disney. She is my favorite villain and from one of my three favorite Disney movies. Today we have The Queen of Hears!!! I have also been her for Halloween way back in the day. This is my interpretation of a younger version so to speak. I did a simple make-up look as well. Hope you enjoy!!!

All photos were taken by my very good friend Heather at her own company Plenty's Photography will put a link at the bottom.

the pieces I used starting from bottom to top are as follows:

shoes: red heels from Mervin's

skirt: red plaid from who knows were...sorry

corset: black with cream embroidery from good will

shirt: yellow short sleeve from small store in Whittier

Hope you all enjoy and keep an eye out for the next everyday Disney!!!
