Blanched Brussels sprouts. 
Greek yogurt, bacon, parmesan, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Tomatoes from my parents' garden! I'm very impressed!
Avocado.
Mashed with cilantro. Then salt, pepper, lime juice and red onion was added to this. 
And voila! :)
I had a lot of cilantro and my roommates had some tomatoes so I decided to make some pico. I used: tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapenos, salt, pepper, lime juice.
And into tupperware you go! Mmmm--it turned out very well if I do say so myself. :) 
Crab meat, cream cheese, mayo, milk, garlic, red peppers, onions, pepper, red chili flakes, salt 'n peppa, gruyere.
Baked.
Deeeeelicious. 
Making my first meatballs! Woohoo! I've never made my own burger patties either. This was very exciting. So this was: ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper. So easy! :)
All rolled and ready to bake! I thought doing them stovetop would be a little to messy and fussy so I decided to bake.
Close-up.
YAAAAAY! My first meatballs! :) Big and juicy. :) The parm kinda exploded. Haha. I figured it would. Anyhow, they were yummy and I kept them in the oven to keep warm.
The saaaaauce! :) I LOVE the Trader Joe's marinara sauce. I used that and then added garlic, chopped onions and bell peppers.
Caramelizing the veggies for the bruschetta. Yellow onion; red, orange and yellow peppers; tomatoes; garlic, parsley and olive oil.
Balsamic vin bruschetta. I toasted French bread so it's pretty crunchy. Then I put on a bit of my balsamic vin dressing and then top with caramelized veggies. I don't make this often, but this is something I really like to make. It turned out well this time too--good bread.. more on that later..
Mixed-greens salad with tomatoes, toasted almonds, parm and my balsamic vin dressing.
Garlic bread! I used Safeway French bread, which I've never had before, but it's really VERY good. Soft and a good size. For the spread I simply used butter, garlic and parsley. I used a little less butter and more garlic than normal recipes call for, but that's how I like it. :)
Spaghetti and meatballs! This was really yummy! :) 
Raspberry somethings.. ;)
Baked brie. Deliiiiicious! 
Blurry. I'm obsessed with these sweet potato fries! Usually when you get sweet potato fries they are the thin cut that I don't like with sweet potato. These were soft and amazing! With a little warmed goat cheese--mmmmm!
OMG. These are my favorite fries in the entire world! And fry sauce! OMG! FRY SAUCE! Haha. Fry sauce is a mysterious thing--some people think it's just a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but I've had fries with ketchup and mayo and it's not fry sauce. Maybe some sour cream in thrown in there or something? Hmm.. perhaps. Anyway--this was dinner and it was divine! 
My friend Lei took some amazing photos with her SLR at brunch! Yay! Here are the topped crackers. They have a slice of brie, peach and a little cranberry sauce on top.
My pineapple upside down cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut flakes.
Phyllo dough baked brie. 
Me, cutting my baked brie. 
Mangos, pineapples, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, savory spice, lime juice.
Grilling up some onions, mushrooms and red bell peppers! I sauteed them in some olive oil and then added just a splash of balsamic vinegar and some ground pepper at the end. 
Tossed into my salad with a little parmesan and some of my leftover dressing from earlier. Oh man, I'm making myself another one of these for lunch tomorrow. 
Baby red potatoes, into the oven you go! 
Chopped up chives. 
Baaaaacon. 
Steamed and then baked hot wings!
My white cheddar mini macs 'n cheese. Here they are half cooked and topped with parmesan and bread crumbs, and ready to bake. 
Baked and ready to eat.
