Lemon Souffle

It is nooo secret that I love food! Master Chef is one of my very favorite shows and it has just started up last week and it really makes me want to cook some pretty cool things.

So .. Lemon Souffles it is! 

 

My in-laws were in town and we decided to try them out. My mother-in-law picked out a Martha recipe and we decided to go for it. 

 

I pretty much stared at the souffles as they were baking .... just watching them rise.... very patiently....

Look at them!!!!!!! Oh my GOSHHH look how high that one on the right got! That's gotta be like 2 inches.

Here was mine...I love these ramekins. I bought them for my mother-in-law for her birthday this year, and she brought them along because I don't have any. They were the perfect size. 

Hahaha I thought that this picture was realllllyyy funny. I think it was my father-in-law's idea.

Going, going ....

I loved making the souffle. It really wasn't that hard at all, as long as everything was properly prepped, that was definitely key to making these souffles happen. 

I am so happy to get another item off of the Bucket List! Check out my Flickr page for other pics and what not. Also, see my Finished Projects page for all of the things that I have knocked off of the bucket list to day.

HOLLER!

Mmmmmm Apple Pie

In my every attempt to be like Martha, I thought I'd try an apple pie recipe of hers out of her Baking Handbook. I don't recall trying this recipe before, but man did the pictures in her book look good!

First, I went apple picking last weekend! I got some gorgeous Macs and Galas. 

Chris was VERY excited to use our apple peeler/corer for the first time. I think he gave it to me for Christmas last year, but I can't remember. 

While he was working on the applies, I started on the dough. I actually made the dough the night before and put it in the fridge. I got to use my amazing marble dough board! I received this as a shower gift from my aunt and it is awesome, it works so well on pie dough.

I also used these cute little cutout tools. They were so fun!

It looks pretty good. I had Chris take it out of the oven while I was upstairs working on my quilt for the contest coming up soon, but I think I would have left it in for another 5 or so minutes. Some of the leaves didn't have a touch of golden brown on them, although it does look pretty perfect in this picture.

My husband and I are in the ongoing debate of serving apple pie with cheddar cheese or vanilla ice cream. What do you guys think? Ice cream or cheddar cheese?

Holler!
