Meatballs and Mixers

I finally used my mixer today.  I didn't really take many good pictures so I apologize.  I just wanted to document this occasion.  I realize you can do meatballs by hand but why when I have an excuse to use my mixer!?

I already had taken off the attachment. Oops

Yummy recipe from Julie.  Made them and froze them for dinners.

Again, slacking on photography!

In case you need a good meatball recipe:



In stead of frying Julie (and I) bake them in the oven 350 for 20 minutes.  It is perfect!

Happy 4th from the ATL - this and that

Happy 4th from the ATL.  I finally made it to the outlets....and broke my first item in a store. Welcome to the Williams Sonoma outlet, Shelley.  Hopefully they will allow me back and hopefully Catherine will go back with me.  (It was a cake plate and I about died.)  I did leave there with a few items to make it up to them.

I have been wanting some of this vanilla since cooking with Lance and Julie.  I finally got some!  (Note: They get the paste and not the extract so they can get the vanilla specs.)

This is a cake tester.  How did I not know about this?  And how have I gone so long without one?  Catherine uses one and swears by it.  I figured with the amount of cakes I bake...

(cookies in the background to come in a later post...)

I have this next item in Catherine's bread machine as I type.  A woman who is a HUGE Williams Sonoma fan swears by their bread mixes.  She stopped us in the isle and gave us an "all-you-need-to-know-about-the-outlet" speech.  (Did I look overwhelmed?)
All you do is add a little oil and water to the bread mix.  Homemade bread in a few hours.  And it was only a few dollars (on super sale).  To me, worth a try.




More posts/recipe documentations to follow.  I am getting behind.  But wanted to say...


HAPPY 4th!

3 Pictures Tell So Much

1. This is how I bake without Lance and Julie.  I make a MESS. I always have.  I am not sure why.  
Note: This is only one side of my kitchen.  


2. This is a glimpse into one side of my baking cabinet (yes, that is a tub of lard).  It is official I am a baker...

3. ... not a cook!  (Don't get too worried.  I have been eating out. A LOT.)
