Happy Saturday!!
1. How was your week? My week started great and ended not so good. Some personal stuff that I'm going through that I'm leaving in God's hands. He knows everything, and when you have faith and believe, things will turn out great. No doubt in my mind.
2. I usually plan ahead of time what I'm going to cook and post to the blog. Last weekend I decided to make Deep Dish Pizza. I made my own Pizza Dough and my delicious and easy to make Homemade Pizza Sauce. The best part about making everything is that you are able to control what you put into it. I find that most pizza places add too much salt. You can cut the dough in half and make 2-12 inch pizzas or you can make one pizza and 4 calzones with the other half.

Happy Saturday!!
1. It was a crazy week. We had about 2 inches of ice and then about 3 inches of snow. We never really get snow here in Marietta, GA, and if we do is never much. This time everything was covered, it was crazy. But since we didn't really have to go anywhere, I really didn't mind.
2. On Valentine's Day I received some beautiful flowers and cards from my hubby and two boys, Cayman and Caico. The flowers are beautiful. We went out to dinner to one of our favorite places, Cabernet Steakhouse. I had a full meal that included lobster and crab cakes for appetizer and Steak and potatoes for dinner. For dessert I had chocolate cake and bread pudding (small servings), both desserts were delicious. Had a fantastic time with my husband.

1. I hope everyone had a great week. I had a busy one, but I can't really complain.
2. I was busy this week cooking. I made some amazing things. On Sunday after church I made Giant Sunday Pancakes for my husband and I. Those pancakes were delicious. On Tuesday I posted the Pork Roast (Pernil). I cooked it on low for about 4 hours and it was falling off the bone. That is the secret to a tender and juicy pork roast.
Since Valentine's Day is next month I decided to make some Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting. This cupcakes were so good! I took some over to my neighbors house for Super Bowl Sunday and they were all gone before the game was even over.
Classic Potato Salad was another dish I made this week. The potatoes had a great texture and the dressing was really creamy. I finished the week with Tostones (Fried Plantains). Tostones are made with green plantains. They are tender inside and super crunchy on the outside.

1. In case you have not heard, there is a Super Bowl game going on this weekend. Super Bowl XLVIII kicks off this Sunday. The Denver Broncos take on Seattle Seahawks, this should be a great game. Who are you cheering for? Since our team the NY Giants, did not make it to the Super Bowl, I guess I'm gonna have to cheer for the Denver Broncos. It should be an exciting game.
2. If you are having a little get together, what are you serving your guests? I made a list of some great appetizers and desserts that can be made ahead of time.

1. I had a great week, nothing to complain about. How was your week? Any plans for the weekend?
2. I have a big kitchen and a lot of cabinets, and I think I have every pot and gadget in the market. I also have a lot of cake pans from the smallest to the biggest in all shapes. I love anything and everything that has to do with kitchen. I came across this website, Uncommon Goods. This website has a lot of unusual things, including kitchen things.

1. Had a great week, relaxed, cooked a few wonderful dishes and read a little bit. How was your week?
2. As you all know I collect cooking books and I buy them wherever I find them. I like going to Goodwill because they are only $2.98, no matter what kind of books they are. I often get lucky with books that were just released within the last few years, that normally retail for over $20.00 dollars.
This week I decided to go to a Thrift store right by my house. I couldn't believe their prices. All hardcover books were 4 for $1.00 and softcover were 8 for $1.00, I was shocked. Now the only difference between the Goodwill that I go to and the Thrift store is the organization. At Goodwill books are sorted out..but at the Thrift store you have to look because they are all mixed in. But That's okay with me. I will find that book in the biggest mess. I had so much fun, I can't wait to go again.
So, if you are looking for books, any kind of books go to your nearest Goodwill or Thrift store and check there first before spending too much money at a book store.

1. It was a really cold week here in Georgia. Even my babies (dogs) didn't want to go outside. Big Brother Cayman went outside one day and ran back inside. Baby Caico didn't really care about it, he was running all over the place. Baby Caico gained 7 ounces in 2 weeks, he is exactly 3 pounds now. He is getting so big, too quick.
2. Last Saturday my husband and I put away all of the Christmas decorations. I love Christmas and decorating, but I hate to take decorations down. Have you taken down your decorations?

1. First let me just say Happy New Year!! I hope this year brings us lots of love, compassion, understanding, peace and good health.
2. I took a few days off from posting to the blog. I had some homework to do being that I will start posting healthier dishes on Monday. I've been going through many of my books and writing down some of my healthier recipes so that I can share them with you. Since Valentines Day is next month, I will eventually post some chocolate recipes that you can make for your significant other on that special day.

1. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I had a great time with my family in South Carolina. We had a great dinner that included some of the same dishes we had for Thanksgiving. We had turkey, arroz con gandules (pegean peas rice), pasteles, pork roast, and lasagna. Lasagna might be odd, but we do like to eat it with our authentic puerto rican dishes. I made a flan and took some arroz con dulce to my family too.
2. So what did you get for Christmas? My husband and I got a puppy, his name is Caico. We already have a little boy name Cayman, but we thought he needed a brother. They are so cute together, we are in love with both of them. They are the most amazing babies.

2. My husband and I decided to go out to one of the malls in our area and finish our list of gifts. We went to Perimeter Mall, and I was surprised, that there were not that many people out shopping.

1. Had a great week at home. I finished decorating the inside of the house. My Christmas tree is up. I turn it on every night. I love the holidays and I like to enjoy my lights and decorations as much as possible. We started decorating outside and we are almost done. Have you started your decorations, if not what are you waiting for.
2. I finished my shopping for the Thanksgiving dinner. I'm looking forward to cooking and eating everything.
Did you finished your shopping? What's on your menu.

1. Last weekend I had my sister, nephew and great nephew visiting from SC. My sister and I decided to make Pasteles. Pasteles are wrapped bananas, and root vegetables stuffed meat pastries, traditionally served during Thanksgiving and Christmas in Puerto Rico. A Puerto Rican house must have these for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
2. I've gone over my menu for Thanksgiving, and I have my list of dishes. Here it goes, Turkey, Ham, Pork Roast, Rice with Pigeon Peas, Mac and Cheese, Stuffing, Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow, Meatballs, Stuffed Shells, Potato Salad and Pasteles. My husband and I are having company for Thanksgiving, and so I go all out. What's on your menu?

1. Blog hit over 700 "Likes" thank you to all of my followers. I'm happy and hope that you are all in the kitchen cooking away.
2. This week all of the recipes were from my book selection, Big Book of Home Cooking. This book has really easy recipes that any home cook can put together. The first recipe was Buttermilk Biscuits. These biscuits were nice and crusty but soft inside. Perfect for the holidays, specially for Christmas morning breakfast.

1. Had a fantastic week. Halloween was not what I expected. My husband and I bought so much candy, expecting a big turn out, but only about 10 kids came by the house. I figure I can use some of the candy for baking and the rest I'm sure will disappear over the holidays when my nephews come to visit.
2. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. I'm actually already working on my menu. This year I want to add a couple of new dishes to the list. I'm going over my books and magazines trying to figure out what I'm making. What are those favorite dishes you make during Thanksgiving? Are you making your desserts from scratch? I always do, pies, cheesecakes, flan, cookies...I go all out.

2. Celebrated my sisters birthday on Friday at Azteca Mexican Restaurant. We had a really good time. Exactly to this date last year we were celebrating my sisters birthday in Puerto Rico. We stayed at a beautiful hotel, El Conquistador Resort. We had an amazing time there.
