Making beet cakes.

First time cooking with beets.  Fun!  I love the colors.

Goat cheese tarts

We tried out a recipe from our new cook book this weekend.  These were so delicious!

Catching up with Aimee

Lunch at Aimee’s is always a dreamy time.  Delicious food and long talks.

Homemade pierogis

Tonight I tried to make pierogis from scratch for the first time.  I was having a lot of fun and everything seemed to be going good, and for the most part they were…  OK.  Next time they’ll be better and I won’t use goat cheese for the filling.

**Actually I’d like to say that these were amazing after freezing them for a few days.  Boiling them for two minutes and then frying them also helped.   I rule.

Friday brunch with the ladies

Sunday the five of us got together to have brunch and do some crafting.  It was so great to have Marcie with us again, it’s normally the four of us because Marcie lives in Vancouver. We made crepes with fruit and different cheeses and stuffed our faces.  It was the perfect Friday to end the year.

These past few weeks.

Random pictures from random places.  The chocolates and chips covered in chocolate were made by the wonderful Rebecca for a Christmas party.  The cakes are from Phil’s birthday.
