Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
I would not catagorize myself as a baker, I am definatly a cook, but I refuse to fear baking. I am a regular reader of The Pinoeer Woman and her cinnamon rolls are one of her most popular recipes. This weekend I thought I would tackle them as my weekend kitchen project. I was a little nervous becasue I have tried to work with yeast dough before and it did not go so well . However I am happy to report that I took that dough head on and came out with a delicious treat.

Birthday Carrot Cake
Looks good doesn’t it?
Go ahead smell it.
It smell delicious….Oh wait, I forgot we do not have smell-a-vision yet. You would think with the advances in technology we would have smell-a-vision by now. It would come in handy in the food blogging community.
Examine this cake closely, look at all the goodies and hidden treasures in this slice of carrot cake. Do you see the raisins, pineapple and pecans….Mmmmmm and carrot of course. Anyways this is the most fabulous carrot cake ever….well I think so. 
This cake is a special occasion cake, it is Hubby’s birthday today. YEAH! Carrot cake is Hubby’s favorite, he loves the cream cheese frosting. I surprised Hubby at the office with cake, milk, balloons and Go Diego plates and cups, just because I thought it would be funny.
This cake rocked and I got many Oooooohs and Aaaaaaahs from his co-workers and the birthday boy loved it too. Trust me this cake is so good and moist you will be making it all the time. Your eye sight will improve, you skin will develop a healthy orange glow, your mid section with get all squishy and make you all that much more huggable. Ok so the Pillsbury Dough Boy part isn’t great, but the cake is stinking delicious.

Goodwill Hunting and Waffles…..it’s what’s for dinner.
home Hubby and I decided to do some Goodwill hunting. We like to scavenge the local Goodwills and Salvation Armies for interesting home and kitchen items. I like to find dishes and Hubby seems to have a fixation with anything that is cast iron. It is also a great way to “change up” your food pictures at a minimal cost. You can find all kinds of intersting dishes and items to present your food on. Here is a collage of my finds today. My favorite find was a set of 4 glasses that will be great to serve a layered dessert in. I got all of these items for a grand total of $20.00, considering there are 3 cast iron skillets in the find, I think it was a pretty awesome stinking steal.When we got home I cleaned up a bit and prept the pasta dough for lunch tommorrow. (I will be posting step-by-step photos of this) Then we had to figure out what to make for dinner. Yes, I could have made the pasta but it was already late and I still had to let the dough rest and roll it out, so we decided on something a little quicker. Hubby asked if I wanted breakfast for dinner and I thought that was an excellent idea. We got into the kitchen together and whipped up some waffles, yummy Honey Yogurt Pecan Waffles. I found the recipe on Annie’s Eats who got it from William and Sonoma.
