My first ever sloppy joes!


I'd never made sloppy joes before. Mainly because I thought them to be boring. 
However, I woke up with a feeling, an "I want to cook something different today" feeling. And against all my prejudices and wrong attitude I made sloppy joes. 
And I wasn't all that much disappointed, I mean it isn't the best thing I've done but it is the kind of food that's easy to make and will feed a crowd. I am thinking kids birthday parties or when you have friends over. 
Or when you want to have a quick easy dinner that will ultimately make you feel good. 
Because this is comfort food. 
It's the kind of food that makes you feel homely. 
The kind of food that had my mom made it for me when I was a kid, I would probably love and declare it the best ever.

Say hello to the pie season!

n.n 
There are no words to express how happy I felt when this baby came out of the oven. 
At first I was slightly scared because it looked like a bomb ready to explode, but it all turned out okay and
quite good. 
I would have preferred it to be a little be more sugary and sweet, but then again I am crazy about sugar. 
The recipe was taken from Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts Recipe book. 
The pumpkin pure was done from scratch... YAY me!

Oooh My Sweet God!

AHUEVO!
First allow me to apologize for my extreme excitement but you need to understand that the these(referring to the pic bellow this text.) is a very uncommon sight where I live in. Or maybe it was common and I hadn't realized it yet because my interest in cooking started not-so-long ago. 
But man oh man was I ecstatic when I came across this huge pile of pumpkins in my local supermarket.  


And you know what came to mind? Everything I could create with them!  
And then of course, the three babies that made my day... 


Sugar Pumpkins = ? PUMPKIN PIE OF COURSE! 
It's not even October and I will be able to indulge myself and my family and new and old friendships with the deliciousness of homemade pumpkin pie. 

Do I hear your mouths watering already!? 


A huge apology for the crappy photos... they were taken with my mobile so they could reach facebook and twitter in time ;)
