Chocolate banana walnut cake
All I can say is YUM YUM YUM.... this yummy little cake was so fun to bake.
Seriously I just added flour, baking soda, milk and eggs to Chocolate, bananas and walnuts and this is what it made... Sometimes you have to just cook how you feel and the rest is history.
Cheesecake...
I was looking in my fridge and wanted to make something Healthy, fun, and really yummy for a good friends birthday... so I thought whats better then cheesecake?.... not many things. How can cheesecake be healthy? Good question...Cut the Cream Cheese to 1/3 and the remainder 2/3 Greek Yogurt.
Ingredients:
whipped cream cheese 8oz
Greek plain yogurt (fat free) 16oz
1 cup Splenda or sugar
3 eggs
1 tea spoon Vanilla
1 cup raspberries
All ingredients besides the raspberries in a bowl... mix together. Preheat oven to 225.
poor ingredients from bowl into pie pan and then add raspberries. Let It bake for 1 hr 30 min. Let it cool for 1 hr then cover and put into the fridge.
Setting the Table
Setting the table properly is very important... you need to make sure everything is set how you like it.. everyone has a different style...make it your own and OWN it.
brussel sprouts
YUMMY... If you haven't... YOU must... these are the best Brussel sprouts.
First I steam them for 20 min. Then I sautee them in truffle oil, Garlic and salt until golden brown. These make a wonderful side and they are a party in your mouth.
Baked Ziti
Baked Ziti is something almost everyone likes including me. I was trying to think of something easy and tasty to make for a side and this came to mind.
I first made the pasta sauce baking the tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and salt for 1 hr @ 350. Then I add it to the blender, after putting it in the blender I put it on the stove and add olives, Basil, mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes. I let it simmer for about 30 min until the pasta is done... poor the sauce over the pasta add fresh basil and mozzarella bake for 30 min @ 350.

Red Snapper for Dinner anyone.
While cooking in Jimmy's I become very creative... I have never cooked Red snapper Before but it looked so fresh at the farmers market it was a MUST.
I took the Red snapper and covered it in a red pesto.. what is a red pesto? It is made from garlic, tomatoes, and basil. After I covered it in the red pesto... I made a row of cherry tomatoes down the center cutting them in halves.. my favorite tomatoes are cherry tomatoes..so sweet and succulent and perfect for baking. Then I topped it with pesto and fresh basil then baked for 25 min at 350.
If that's not enough... When it got out of the steaming hot oven...I covered it in lemon sauce.
The two sides are garlic sauteed spinach and baked peppers with garlic salt.
The perfect snack...
I love Cashews because they are sweet and nutty at the same time. They also taste excellent with wine and Cheese.
