This is another of my creations, Puff Pastry Tartelettes with Basil Pesto, that I made for my hubby and me on one of our many date night ;), it turned out really good, I was very surprised with the results specially since it was my first time making pesto, and I had a few issues along the way but it turned out very good in the end!!!
Today I'm going to attempt making Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes out good, I will put the results later. You see cakes and breads are not really my strong point but I'm getting there.
What I love to make, as you can see in my previous pictures, is appetizers and anything else that is tiny or small like cookies and cupcakes. Of course I can't keep my husband full on just appetizers and cookies and cupcakes, so I just leave these for the weekends when I can experiment with all the ideas that have been brewing in my head for the whole week and call it a date night.
As you will see in my posts I will probably mention date night a million times, so I'll explain, when my hubby and I were dating we used to go to little restaurant that all they served was appetizers, cheese plates and wines, it was kind of a tapas restaurant, but that restaurant is in my country, so when we got married and moved back to the US, we started restaurant hopping, to see if we could find a replacement for the little tapas restaurant we longed for, and it's been three years and we still long for it, so to make a long story short, we never found a restaurant to replace the one we left back in my country, so I decided to create my own version of the little appetizers and tapas we used to order on our dates, and that's how I started inventing and trying to recreate all the food that has inspired me.

I'm so excited!!! I finally have a place where I can write about what I love the most, and there's nothing that I love more than cooking!!! Whenever I'm in the kitchen I'm the happiest woman on earth, and if you ask anyone who knows me they're gonna probably tell you that not only do I love it, but that I'm obsessed with it.
A lot of people including some in my family don't understand the passion I have and feel when it comes to cooking, they just think its something I'm doing 'cause I'm still kind of a newly wed, but that I will grow out of one day, hopefully sooner than later.... Oh well, as my darling hubby tells me, "their loss for not getting you honey".....
When I'm cooking, I feel like an artist, even though I'm not even close to one, I just love reading cookbooks and then trying out the recipes and adding to them my own unique flair to make them my own.
This is one of my many creations, but after the Holidays I've been kinda slacking, so I have made a resolution that I've done enough slacking and Saturday I start making new stuff again. I will gradually be uploading more of my past creations, I gotta thank my hubby for the amazing pictures he takes of my food!!
