as summer comes to a close, one thing i will miss more than anything is summertime cooking. there’s nothing like the fresh seafood and ripe fruit here in long island, so i hope to make the most of it before i head back to school! we threw together a delicious meal a few nights ago and me (along with my family) enjoyed the turnout. mussels and  scallops in a red sauce, with fresh pasta is SO good, and if you’re a fan of all of those foods, i promise you’ll like this. dessert was simple, but delicious: a rich chocolate pudding with fresh whipped cream, raspberries and frozen chocolate chips.

 

make new friends, but keep the old

You guys will come to learn that I absolutely love baking and cooking. Culinary school used to be a dream, but it was replaced by my dreams of Georgetown, a decision I’m happy with! My mom has been my best teacher when it comes to cooking, but baking is a different ballpark for her and my comfort zone. I will bake any time, but whenever I have a test that doesn’t go well or a bad day, baking in my dorm’s common room is where you’ll find me. These cupcakes were from this recipe and are HEAVEN! http://melssweetlife.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/peanut-butter-oreo-cupcakes/

 Mel suggests using it to make friends, and that we did. We had a storewide meeting for J.Crew tonight, and me and another friend, Barbara, made these to help break the ice. Instead of just regular cupcakes, we made the majority mini so they could be a quick snack. We left out the Reese’s on the inside, but the frosting was AMAZING and I was so happy with the way that it turned out. (Literally wanted to package it and just eat it with a spoon. Bad, I know.)

P.S. Those last photos are a few from some J.Crew styling sessions. We may or may not have gotten a little carried away… 🙂 (I’m in the middle!)
