Thanksgiving 2016 (On the West Coast)


This year we celebrated Thanksgiving in California, with a turkey porchetta, lots of stuffing, mac & cheese, pumpkin ravioli, pureed cauliflower (that successfully fooled some into thinking the dish was mashed potatoes), and of course, our traditional apple pie

Prep Work:



Egg-washed apple pie ready to go into the oven



 Turkey Porchetta and Pumpkin Ravioli




The next day we used turkey leftovers to make turkey sage ravioli



Now it's time to go Christmas shopping!

Valentine's Day Dinner


Happy belated Valentine's Day! To celebrate, my boyfriend and I stayed in and cooked:

 Lamb osso bucco, garlic shrimp, and goat cheese couscous with prosecco


We also made chocolate souffles - my first time!


One of them came out more beautiful than the rest:


Hope you all had lovely weekends!
