I just bought this print....

that's my motto for today. I found it here.

Food: Pastries and pinchos y tapas

'

"Palmeras de chocolate" my favorite...

Pastries and chocolates...

Jamon Serrano...

...and these are tapas and pinchos...they are displayed like this in bars and you eat whatever you want. at the end, and when you are going to pay, you tell them how many you ate and pay for them....they trust your honesty!

Candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides my family, the culture, the language, the food and even the smell, CANDY is what I miss the most when I'm away from home...enjoy...

I wont link you over....

...to the worst brownie recipe everrrr!!! they were titled:" Chewy brownies"...chewy? not! they were as hard as stone!

...and I know something doesn't taste good at all when not even Mike (who eats ANYTHING) would dare to swallow a piece.....

Oh...if I only knew how to quilt....

...I will so be making one of this (founded here) for my Diego....here is the tutorial, in case somebody wants to send me a present:)

A cute Valentine's project

I made these little hearts filled with m&m's for the kids in my Primary class.....

They are so easy to make!! you pretty much just need a printer, color paper and a stapler!

the front...

...the back...

...and the best...left overs!
I got the idea here, where you can print the templates and get the tutorial...

Rollitos de Canela!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cai en la tentación....pero curiosamente no me dió por hacer galletas, sino rollos de canela!...y tras buscar la receta perfecta durante algun tiempo, puedo decir que la encontré!!!!...aqui teneis un resumen fotografico de mi cruzada y trabajina durante la creación del rollo de canela perfecto...

La receta la podeis encontrar aqui the recipe here

I feel like cooking.....bad food! (or delicious treats...:)

Nooo!!!! I'm trying to lose some weight before I go to Spain and this is all I can think about today!!!...homemade oreos????

....what??? I found the recipe here, and they also have recipes for homemade Twinkies and hostess cupcakes!...I hope I'm strong enough to resist the temptation of making any of these not- so- healthy treats!

jello salad=pain the in the butt:)

...yes my friends...I always wanted to do one of these, because it's such a part of the culture here in Utah, but let me tell you, in order to do one of these you need to have a whole day at home, no babies and tons of patience!!!!...my nephews liked it and Elizabeth even dressed accordingly!:)

I love having a chalk fridge...

...so my cute neighbors can do "art work" on it....

My second trifle...

...based in one of Paula Deen's recipes....with peanut butter, chocolate pudding and bananas...so good...

My first trifle...

...turned out ok..Recipe, here.

Another advantage of having a chalk painted fridge...

...is that I can have a calendar to mark all the things I'm going to do when my mom gets here tomorrow!!!..I'm so excited!

I'm sooooo going to do this!

I'm so excited for Autumn to be here!!!....it means in this order: my mom comes, Diego and Halloween!!!!...So I'm going to start working on decorations...I saw this bat chandelier and I loved it! Instructions here.

Diego's unfinished nursery...

Well, my mom was dying to see it, so here it is!...I still need to buy the crib skirt, an ottoman, a changing pad and many other details, but this is what I have so far!... and keep in mind that our budget was very limited, so all the wall decorations are hand made, and it turns out that that is what I like the most about the nursery!
