I have been sitting on these pictures for months. I really liked the outfit. I really disliked the recipe I made that day. So, I was unsure what to do. Should I still show the outfit or scrap it?
Well, with all of us baking this holiday season, there are bound to be some mishaps. If the same happens to you, just know at least you will probably be fully clothed when it happens. Winning.
Although showing a bit of undergarments is a sure fire way to distract folks from bad food.
Or not.
I have a chicken empanada recipe that is out of this world. It is my sister’s favorite thing that I make. And if memory serves me, my daughter’s too. Although I have never shared it here…yet. I am a bit slow on the draw.
I decided to try making sweet empanadas. Sounded simple enough. Just fill pie crust dough with a filling (I originally typed “feeling” and that would probably have turned out better), crimp, sprinkle with sugar and bake. But the lemon curd filling oozed out everywhere and the Nutella ones I made dried out and it was all a big disappointment. My husband and my mom both liked them, but in my opinion, they were not worth making again.
What are you baking this holiday season? I am making pie crust cookies. And chocolate chip cookies. And when I want something simple, I pick up the prebaked sugar cookie shapes at the grocery store (available at Albertson’s where I live) and dye vanilla frosting then let the kids take over. For dinner last night, I made Tyler Florence’s Pot Roast Tacos. The night before I made a very easy lasagna I will be sharing here next weekend. Tonight I am making Beef Enchiladas with the leftover taco meat. Tomorrow will be Pioneer Woman’s Perfect Potato Soup. Do you plan your weekly meals in advance? I love to cook. And I am trying not to fry my brain as I work out exactly how many more presents I still need to pick up. Smells like Christmas… And singed hair.
I am oblivious to the future of these pastries as I happily wear Anthropologie’s Horizon Lines Maxi (sold out, similar here), Free People’s Shadow Hacci Top, and Cosabella’s Never Say Never Sweetie Bralette
who cares about the food! your outfit is so cute! and I love peeks at your kitchen….! we just made an oreo thing for our recipe club at school, and it bombed…so we ate it from plastic spoons….haha it was still yummy!
I have kitchen fails all the time! Ben once said I should have a show called “recipes gone bad” because I will follow a recipe to the T and still have a disaster on my hands. Despite that, I still love to cook/bake and I think I’m improving as time goes on. I just made these lemon ricotta cookies and they turned out great! I love your kitchen:)

I love this outfit. You look so cute.
I do not bake very much. I find it much more challenging than cooking.
Hi! i’ve stopped by your blog a couple of times and love your outfits and short stories! I found these cute gnome shoes while holiday shopping and thought of you. They’re currently sold-out, but maybe they’ll come back in stock?

You look/are adorable.
I love this idea. Next time I make a new recipe, I will wear something really cute and if it is bad…the flashes of undergarments will distract 😉 Very fun outfit!
You look so cute! Oh! Please post your Chicken Empanada recipe!..I would love to make them 🙂
Those sweet empanadas look good to me! I am going to make broccoli curry soup today.
Love the bright pink lipstick!
I think as long as you made an effort with the lemon empanadas and they got a good review from family, then that is all that matters. It sounds like they tasted good.
I definitely want to bake some cookies; chocolate chip with coconut or chocolate chip oatmeal and maybe gingerbread cookies. Every year since I was little, my mom makes rum cake and it is just a doctored up Duncan Hines cake mix. It’s so good and she also makes a Kalua chocolate cake too. I love baked goods!
Have a great rest of the day,
Stacey
