Early Christmas Cookies

Ho ho ho! ;)

Christmas is near. I smell joyful and happy feelings everywhere!

Yup, Christmas is very near now.

In Indonesia, it's tomorrow, so we'll have Christmas Eve tonight ;) time to spend it with our loved ones.

Pardon me for another food post, I just can't help, with this holiday atmosphere flowing.

And guess what, this is the first time I've ever made cookies.

Got the recipe from Gimme Some Oven *again and turned out this is the best cookies I've ever made. Of course *roll eyes

Made this for a Christmas Gift to Mr. Boss right there. *poke poke

I'm just so romantic. *ha ha.

Happy Christmas!

May the joyful feelings and the magic of Christmas blessed you and your loved ones. Cheers!

Thanks for reading.

Yes I'm a Brownies fan!

Hello again!

Back with another food post. Yumm.

I had couple of free hours last week and decided to make something sweet. I haven't touch my oven since maybe two, three months? And definitely miss my kitchen stuff D: And I was thinking, I have a bottle of Baileys at home, so why not make some brownies? And here it is!

I got the recipe from gimmesomeoven - Found another great site for cooking!

You know, the thing about sweets is, you can never get enough. RIGHT?

I ended up biting and munching until the very last bite. *Uh-oh*

Baileys + brownies = Killing Fatty machine!

What do you think? ;)

Short Escape

Hey ho you all! ;)

So relieved that I can write here after too many, many deadlines and tasks chasing around. Yeay!

Yes, my great-great-super-final-task-of-the-semester has passed and I pray to God that my efforts will pay me an equal grade. Wish me luck!

Still, there are some tasks left, but not that big so I can still keep in touch with you all ;)

Here's a few photos from my short two night escape at Trawas, last May. Well I didn't take many photos because, mostly, I filled my days sitting in front of my laptop doing assignments, and on the last day there when I actually had planned to take some walk around, I got sick and just lay on bed. Pity ._.

No more words, enjoy! :D

The Cottage where we stayed at Villa Kapal Api, Trawas

The Balcony at the main villa

And here's the view from the balcony!

Here's my lil bro!

The small church near the villa where we went on Sunday morning.

And what I love more about vacation is.. The FOOD! Yeay. I love cooking, and taking photos of food as well! These are some of my new hobby! ;) I arrange food and take a beauty shoot with them. Did I sound like a freak? Haha.

Mac 'n Cheese Pie

I've mentioned before on my earlier post about how I love cooking nowadays, ryte? ;)

So this is one of my most favorite recipe of all, The Macaroni and Cheese Pie.

I got the recipe from some random recipe book, decided to try on it, and it turned out to be very good!

How can you resist Mac and Cheese?! They're just lovable!

Besides, you only need few ingredients: Tomatoes, Macaroni, Cheese, Flour, and Egg. And taraaaaa!

I might warn you something: once you eat this, you won't be able to stop. Well, unless your house is burning or something. Kidding!

If you want to try this recipe, you can click here for another similar recipe I found from Brown Eyed Baker. Pick one! PS: Have I told you how amazing she is? Okay, I've said it too many times. She's my Muse!

You can add some other ingredients too, I added sausage to the original recipe and they taste as just what I've expected. Very yum-yum!

Happy weekend everyone! :D

Thanks for reading!
