Macaroni and Cheese

Cupcakes? Yes. Macaroni and Cheese Cupcakes

I can't believe I didn't post these! I made them a while ago, but I guess I never got around to it. So here it is, homemade macaroni and cheese, in cute little cupcake form. It was a really good baked macaroni and cheese recipe, my only complaint is that I should have used foil cupcake tins, the macaroni really stuck to the paper. 

I would also like to report that as of this morning I finished summer school. I am so glad to finally have a break and relax for a while. 



 Here is the recipe in case you're interested :)

4th of July nails

I love getting festive for the holidays. My nails are the flags and the other hand is a friends hand. I did her nails so I thought it would be fair to post them too :) its safe to say I had a great time celebrating yesterday and floating down the American river.

Sandwiches :)

Procrastiblogging 

I am happy to report that my iPhone has accepted procrastibaking as a word and autocorrects procrastinating to procrastibaking. I have one more week of summer school and it will be terrible. 4 exams (I took one this morning too) and two papers (7-10 pages and 4-5 pages) with 4th of July in the middle of my prime working time. I have all of one paragraph done. I am procrastinating this paper by staring out of my window at...nothing (as long as I'm not looking at my computer screen, who cares?) 

Anyways, SANDWICHES, if you know me, you must know I love sandwiches, I love making sandwiches. So I thought I'd share my sandwiches and give some techniques. 

1. ALWAYS separate the meat. Never just slop in on there in one chunk, its looks gross and won't taste as good. 
2. Put spread (whatever you like) on both sides, it incorporates more flavors into the sandwiches. 
3. If you're toasting the sandwich (like Subway) take note, don't toast lettuce, tomatoes, or other veggies that  will get soggy.
4. Put spacey things-things that create space- in the middle (lettuce, onions, bell peppers, pickles, etc)
5. Sandwiches are art, they are not to be rushed.
