Ginger Bread Decoration

As some of you may know it was my birthday not long ago... so how better to spend it by decorating giant ginger bread men /women / he she's! The creation on the left is by Reba Dawg Flo, and the creation on the right is by me! Clearly my attempt looks like a 10 year old effort, but in all fairness I accidentally snipped the end of the icing piping bag to thick which resulted in... well... what you see! hahah Long story short, I don't know if the gingerbread is a man or a women on the left, or a cross between the two... or if the gingerbread on the right has thick flowing hair or just giant eyebrows! None the less, it was fun to make and quick to eat!  

Check out the photos below:

DELICIOUS! Chicken and Pesto Wrapped in Prosciutto

Wow... this has to be such an amazingly yummy meal, and so simple too! I think it must have taken about 20-30mins to cook? And that's including the time it was in the oven. All you need to do is flatten out some chicken breasts, spread pesto on one side of the chicken, and roll it up! Then just roll it up again with Prosciutto around it, whack it on the fry pan, flipping every 3mins till both sides are golden brown,  then put in the oven for 10mins. Then BAM! You have a delicioussssssss meal! To top it off I diced up some feta and put it over the chicken rolls so they melted when in the oven - Mmmm Yum! I think my blog may be almost turning into a cooking blog! Oh and next time I will totally try wrapping it up with creamed cheese and pesto :) Here is a photo of the delightful meal I am talking about:

Happy Fathers Day!

Every single fathers day, every birthday, every christmas, and every other celebration for my dad he always says to not get him anything. But just like any other daughter, I must get him a gift... even if he said not to! After all, what kind of daughter would I be not to get my dad a gift to show how much I love him!

Anyway, the only gift my dad ever likes is ones that he can eat... or drink for that matter. Therefore I decided to make him a shirt, which you will see below. It say's "If I can't eat it, or drink it, then I don't want it." This is an exact quote from dad when I asked him what he wanted for fathers day this year. So... as a joke, I decided to put this quote on a shirt and give it to him. What was his reaction? He was in hysterics, he thought it was the funniest thing ever! He couldn't stop laughing, it was great! Even my mum was killing her self laughing! But just to top it off, I also gave him some home made chocolate brownies... which of course I HAD to taste test before giving them to him, they tasted delicious :P

I gave my dad one more thing... but I will reveal this at a later stage ;) Keep posted!

I can cook! Finally!

Over the weekend I decided I would cook up a storm for my mum and dad. If you know me, this is completely out of character for me as I do not cook... at all.. well other than toast and scrambled eggs that is! :P So I decided to cook them a prawn and pasta dish that had fresh asparagus, roma tomatoes, basil, white wine and garlic all mixed in together. I was worried it would be an epic failure, but to my pleasure it was a complete success! My parents ate the entire meal on their plate! I was so proud of my efforts that I thought I would post my creations on my blog... because after all this is a creative design of food and flavour!
