Perfect treat for a gray & cold morning...

When I got up this morning, I was so tried from not being able to fall asleep last night. Stress and cold temperatures do that to me. Anyhow, I couldn't see any sunlight peaking into my curtains. All I could see were gray skies, when I looked out the kitchen window. It was (and, still is) cold! I immediately turned on the oven and decided that I needed to make something warm and comforting for breakfast. So, I asked my mom what she wanted and she said that she had found a nice Cinnamon-Apple Coffee Cake recipe. I checked it out and decided to give it a try. Once I got the coffee cake into the oven, I whipped up some fresh heavy whipping cream to have along with the cinnamon-apple delight! As this scrumptious treat was baking the whole house filled with the delicious scent of apples, cinnamon, and a few little secrets that I added to the batter. It emerged from the oven a lovely cinnamon-sugar coated, golden brown beauty! I'll post the recipe in the next couple of days when I get a chance to type it up! Enjoy the pictures!

Apple Oven-Pancake...

I woke up this morning in serious need of "brain food." However, I wanted something sweet. Then I remembered this yummy Apple Oven-Pancake from Williams-Sonoma! It has very little sugar and flour, but tons of protein from the amount of eggs. This was definitely a "win-win" situation!

Easter Dessert...

Eggplant Parmesean...

Today, I decided to make baked Eggplant Parmesean, since, today is the third Friday of Lent. I made my own bread crumbs, and spiced them to my liking with a blend of Italian-esque spices. While I was doing that, my mom made a delicious sauce for the side of spaghetti. It consisted of fresh tomatoes and basil as the base. It came out tasting as if it were a light cream sauce. The meal tasted delicious! Even, my Nana, who doesn't like eggplant, thought that it tasted good! :)
