Off To NYC

I'm off to New York City for work. I'll hopefully have pics to post once I'm back.

Here are some runway models roaming the streets of New York.

Move Over 2-D!

Nowadays, it seems everything is going 3-D!

I have seen a few editorials lately that have gone 3-D. Luckily, I still have my Coraline 3-D glasses.







Phyllo Dough: Part II

I don't really have much of a sweet tooth, Mike actually ate most of the Strawberry filled Phyllo cups. But I ended up having extra sheets, so I thought of making something savory instead.

I cut the sheets into rectangles and baked them, making "tostada" bases. Then I topped with my favorite tostada toppings. Refried Beans, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onion, Charred Chicken and Cotija Cheese. Add a dollup of Sour Cream, and you got yourself a meal.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA BARS


Mike was determined to make granola bars at home. You'll never want to pay $5 for a 4 pack when you can make 4 times that much for the same price!
