Mediterranean Dinner


Tonight I decided to try Mediterranean! Great Success!! 
It was so yummy!!


Never made FALAFEL before, but I found this falafel mix box at Krogers called Tarazi.
I think I added too much water or didn't let it set long enough, whatever it was it came out as a falafel cookie! Haha~ but still the taste was the same and good!

Now for lamb meat. I used ground lamb. 
This is 1 lb of ground lamb.

Seasoning: 
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  •  2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp thyme

    *The seasoning was a little salty for my taste, but then I am sensitive to salt*


More ingredients!! 
  • Cucumbers and tomatoes
  • Rice Pilaf from Casbah brand
  • Hummus and Greek Yogurt Spinach Dip
  • Wheat Flour Pita (very good for wheat flour)


Paired with a white wine called ReFresh. Love the name!

Zombie Cupcakes

I don't know how familiar you are with the site Shirt.Woot.Com,
but my husband and I love this website!
They have the coolest shirts and for real cheap.
My husband has a shirt called the Last Cupcake.














Last year when I started getting into baking, he said I should try to replicate it.
And I've always kept it in the back of my head.
For his 31st birthday I decided to give it a shot.
Let me tell ya, it was not easy and took a lot of time to make it just right.
I had to make my own cupcake wrappers.
You can pretty much use any recipe, just change the frosting color to a green of your liking.
I made Dulce De Leche cupcakes. This is where I got the recipe. Crumbly Cookie 

This is the Green frosting I made for the zombie's.









Here are my zombies + the hero in brown

 As for the cupcake wrappers, I found a template
 online and printed it onto green paper
and then just glued
it together.
I added my own eyes on it as well.
Just have fun with it!








This is the final product.
The room was really dark. Sorry about that.
