Caviar Nails

Fish Egg Nails


I used the "fish egg technique", I stole the different color idea from my roommate, she did the same thing with a different color and I loved it. Basically, you can paint your nails any color then  while your nail is still wet, dip it into the bottle or pour the beads on top and let it dry. Mine have stayed on pretty well for about 4 days now. If you don't pick at them you should be fine. I bought the microbeads from Michaels. 



 This was the bottle from Michaels, it came in a six pack with other colors as well.

Cheesecake Filled Strawberries

Cheesecake Filled Strawberries & Raspberries

I absolutely love these! I saw them and I had to make them. They are incredibly easy to make but are melt in your mouth, I need to eat the entire plate of them delicious. I also filled a few raspberries with cheesecake. I had a raspberries in the fridge and thought, "oh why not?" they turned out just fine too; better fruit to cheesecake ratio in my opinion. But considering I was eating the filling with a spoon...no surprise I feel that the strawberry takes away from the cheesecake....








I also baked rice krispies treats. I made these with my roommate in about 10 minutes, they are super easy and I've never had anyone turn these down! One friend calls them "crack krispies" not surprisingly he will also eat an entire batch to himself...in one sitting. 





In the end, I had a table full of desserts from my stressed day 
(desserts is stressed spelled backwards, so baking desserts undoes stress) ha! 





Lemon Dinner

Lemon Salmon & Lemon Steamed Veggies


I am a lemon lover, anything lemon I will try it, and most likely love it. One day I steamed by veggies (always zucchini, broccoli, and carrots) with lemon juice and I fell in love. I eat them like this all of the time. Anyways, I baked my salmon in a lemon bath and had an extremely lemony dinner :)


Asian stir fry shrimp lettuce wraps

My first recipe/creation..

I should work on the name, but it's incredibly descriptive. I made shrimp stir fry, with an Asian stir fry sauce, then wrapped it in lettuce...or attempted to wrap. It turned out perfect. A little messy, but I'll sacrifice cleanliness for taste any day. Let's be honest here, who wouldn't? I don't have a recipe but I have pictures!


 I mixed these two sauces for my stir fry. I love all of the House of Tsang stir fry sauces.

 I threw in some shrimp, chopped onions, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. 
 Put in onto lettuce

wrapped and enjoyed! 
(in two separate meals, surprisingly enough I was full after two of these)
