Rainy Day Comfort

I love the rain , I always have, something about it makes me feel so good. I think it reminds me of my childhood and playing in the rain with my sister and friends. It also reminds me of hot soup of any kind which we usually had on rainy days growing up. So last night it did rain, and I had already planned on making Gumbo for dinner, which is kind of like soup but much more filling.For me its the perfect food for cold weather or any occasion really. My baby likes to try anything my fiance and I eat, but he is only eight months old so he cant have seafood yet, but he loved the cornbread!lol. This gumbo has, shrimp, crab, okra, carrots,celery, onions,rice, and seasoning. The cornbread is made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour (its healthier). This meal made me feel good :)

Take my Picture

cupcakes

I have a strange obsession with cupcakes, its not just about eating them, but with making them. If I ate them as much as I bake them I would be in trouble, lol. I usually keep a few for myself then I give the rest to friends and family. I sincerely love to bake!! I love it so much I could do it for a living. Anyway the ones from the picture are from a little while back. They are vanilla with strawberry frosting. Yumm!

So from now on I will start posting pictures of the food I cook, except for tonight dinner I forgot to take pictures, so I will just talk about it. My fiance and I love seafood, we are vegetarians who eat seafood. So I made some baked tilapia fish, and I smothered it in tomato sauce,tomato, onion, fresh basil and oregano,then I baked it for about 30 min . We also had what I call a warm grilled asparagus salad. Basically I took some romaine and broke it into small pieces, then I boiled and ear of corn , cut it off the cobb, then added it to the romaine, then after a I grilled the asparagus, I placed it (still warm) on the salad the I put some fresh mozzarella cheese a lil salt &peppa, and voila! Add salad dressing of choice, mine is italianalso some garlic bread. It was yummy. Tomorrow I will be posting pics of some of my favorites !Thanks for reading. Peace and Love
