The Sweeter Side

My Dad has been craving Honey Walnut Shrimp for a while and put in a special request for me to make it. I think this turned out a lot better than expected. The last time I made this was in high school so I'm pretty pleased I was able to re-create it without the help of a recipe. I did make some alterations though. I added some cayenne pepper to the honey mayonnaise sauce, hoping that the spice would give it more of a dimension other than SWEET MAYO. I also chose not to use iceberg lettuce because I felt that kind of lettuce is generally useless being so bland in taste and color. I also salted the sugar glazed walnuts too. Oh and this was the first time I used coconut oil to fry something. Gorgeous aroma and makes me feel a little less guilty eating it. My dad ate TWO servings. Solid success! Anyone want to come over for dinner now? (: Recipe

I tried to start off the new year by adjusting my sleeping schedule so that I would wake up at 6. My hopes is that I would end up being more productive waking up so early, and so far I have been right! School didn't start yet so I had to fill my time with something...(: The Chai cupcakes came out really great. The flavor wasn't as weak as I thought it might've been cause I didn't have a lot of Chai tea to use. I am really proud of these because of the chocolate designs I did. They were really last minute touches so I'm relieved they came out well. Hopefully they go over well with the staff at the Multicultural Center, where I am now accepted back into as an intern! :D I'm so incredibly excited. Happy New Year Everyone! (: Don't hesitate to ask for recipes. I got these from my cupcake book.  " Don't Chai to Resist" Cupcakes Organic chai flavoured cupcakes with honey, topped with vanilla whipped cream and milk chocolate.   Milk Chocolat...
