Ah I haven't updated in a week! I will not let this happen again! I haven't really been doing anything too productive this last week. I have been trying to preserve what little Summer break I have left. School starts on Wednesday and I am actually pretty excited. At the very least I will have something to do. Anyways on to the tastys!So for dinner I made some chicken breasts with a mozzarella/mushroom/green pepper topping. A few hours before dinner, I made a dry rub of garlic salt(I am obsessed), pepper and parsley and let the chicken marinade for a bit. I was a little naughty and sauteed the veggies in butter >.< al dente directions that came on the box and then added a little butter, a can of diced tomatoes, feta cheese, parsley, garlic salt and pepper. And of course some garlic bread.
And a view from the top - such a pretty and colorful dish!
Yesterday I made Carrot Cake Cupcakes. I have been wanting to make them for a while and found myself possessing almost all of the ingredients so I whipped them up. Oh and for the record, grating carrots is the worst thing ever... if you have the opportunity to buy them pre-grated or shredded then do it! I swear I almost grated my whole damn hand off.Here they are in all their glory! Well as you can see they didn't rise that well... next time I will cut the oil and maybe add some more flour. I might jazz them up a bit by adding some crushed pineapple too. And yes that is homemade cream cheese frosting... I could have just ate that and been good to go!

The orzo was awesome, and the melted cheese seemed to help tie all the veggies into the chicken. Muy good!
Yeah I want to make it again, maybe adding some red onions... make it a little more savory.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... that looks fan-freaking-tastic.
It's like a philly chicken steak! MMMM
Can't wait for the day I'm going to eat cheese again!
I had the same problem when I made carrot cake cupcakes where they just didn't rise. I'm not good enough to figure out what the problem was though!
Have fun at class today!
It was fan-freaking-tastic!
And yes a philly chicken steak is the PERFECT description of it! You should definitely get on being able to eat cheese again!!!
