Who doesn't love chicken alfredo for dinner? Think alfredo sauce is supper easy to make and doesn't take much time. My alfredo sauce compared to other recipes is that I use a combination of both asiago and parmesan instead of just parmesan. So try out this recipe, you will really enjoy this alfredo sauce.
Trying to do something new and interesting, so I started this blog about cooking and baking.

strawberry crepe
Its almost summer and that means berries are starting to become in season. So here is a great recipe for strawberry crepe. A crepe is basically a thin french pancake, which has a golden brown outside with a soft almost chewy texture. I always prefer a crepe over an american pancake, but thats just me. This crepe would be a great breakfast dish or it is sweet enough for a dessert, and you can always top it with ice cream to make this even more special.

Chocolate Brownies
What is more iconic then the all American treat called the brownie. These brownies are a very simple recipe that uses chocolate instead of cocoa powder. Which gives the brownies a more chewier texture. That take about as long to make as a box mix but taste 10 time better. The other benefit is you know what is all in you food. The brownies are great on there own or even better with powder sugar or a frosting.

Blondies
The first time I had blondies was over at a friends house, and I just remember how bad they tasted. As they just had butterscotch chips in them and nothing else. So I started looking around at different recipes and this is what I came up with to have the perfect blondie. A mixture of butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. I was scared at first to add coconut because I don't really like coconut, but theres just enough to add another layer of flavor with tasting it all on its own. So if you don't like coconut or know someone, they will still love this blondie recipe.

Home made vanilla extract
When my Aunt came over last week she brought me some vanilla beans, and I used the seeds to make buttercream frosting. After making the buttercream I still had the pods left over that have a ton of flavor left in them so I decided to make vanilla extract. Watch my video to learn how to make your own vanilla extract
