I LOVE food, love. And I love to cook/bake. My grandma always tells me that I'm lucky that I'm good at doing both, she also stresses that she reeeally doesn't like to bake. My theory is that I love food so much that I couldn't have ever chosen one over the other; I mean, I prefer salty to sweet no doubt, but I have a severe addiction to sweet desserts so that's not saying a lot! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved to create whatever sounds good, I have cravings worse than a pregnant woman as my mother says, and once I'm craving something there is nothing else that will satisfy my taste buds. I've found that when I'm craving something is also when I'm my best at cooking/baking, it's like it gives me inspiration that nothing else can! Anyways, I have found/created some pretty amazing (in my opinion) recipes that I just have to share...(:

Creamy chicken rigatoni

I made this dish the other night for dinner and it was a huge hit! The leftovers were great too; I highly recommend trying this one.

Penne Pasta with sun-dried tomato cream sauce

Oh my goodness, this was delicious! This recipe makes too big dishes, we baked the first (as instructed), then just stuck the other one in the fridge. The leftovers lasted for more than a week and kept tasting better and better, we didn't even need to bake the second dish, my mom would just eat it cold and I would microwave it. It was awesome!

S'mores Cookies!

I. love. s'mores. No... That's an understatement. If I could eat different s'more concoctions all day long I honestly would. These cookies were amazing! I made 30 and they were all gone within two days (and this was between 6 people). The only change I would make is to take out the cinnamon, because they do taste a bit like snickerdoodles and s'mores got busy in the oven and this is their baby... not that I'm complaining, because they are delicious either way(;

Baked S'mores

Zoom in on this picture and stare at it. I guarantee that you will start to drool. Saying that I love s'mores doesn't begin to describe it (as I said above), but I refuse to apologize. Look at these things^^^ I don't know if I've ever seen something (some food), that looks more delicious. I have been waiting to try these bad boys for when I feel like I have been way too healthy and need to get back on my bad-habit track (unfortunately I'm not great at being too healthy so I have yet to try them). Someone please tell me how amazing these taste!!!

Mac and cheeseeee

I have serious problems with my love of mac and cheese, it's unhealthy. Literally. Bonefish Grill, California Pizza Kitchen, and Macaroni Grill always have been my favorite restaurant mac and cheese makers; all three are creamy deliciousness, mmmm! This homemade mac has great reviews and I think its tastes splendid!
