Dat's Domestic


Post-Mish Clean Eating

growing up with an aspiring body builder for a dad, i always avoided his eating habits. I mean, I had to calculate my nutritional value intake from my food. To save the math, i would only eat the serving size... which sucked. i hated juicing and despised salmon. Fast forward to February 2015...
I'm In Northern Laredo , Texas with a companion that is Gluten Intolerant with alergies to soy, apples, honey and grapefruit. .. And I had some of the best food i've ever had my entire life! all the people who invited us over to eat had to learn how to cook gluten free. Many opted for soup which was tasty but it helped us all learn new alternatives that actually tasted great!

Now I'm home without a fear of healthy eating. I LOVE gluten free stuff. and I love vegan meals.      (Though I still love meat) Now , with tons of recipes under my sleeve, I'm picking up cooking again. And I couldn't be happier. Currently, the obsession is Spaghetti Squash.

with some grilled chicken, avocado and roasted sweet potato....mmmmm... you can't go wrong.


International Treats

Growing up, my dad was always traveling and be would always bring us kids back some candies and sweets. So when I went to the local ' Pop N' Sweets' I was surprised to see all of my favorite treats 

 bonus points if you know what these are!

EPIC FAILURES

I like to pride myself on being a great cook. But lately, I've been struggling. More like failing. Here are just a few pictures...




 Outside the RA's appt... 

I dropped my breakfast on the floor ...



..







My roommates were asleep so I couldn't ask them to "pop" the pressurized can of biscuits, so I put on oven mitts and hit it against the counter. AND.... the can didn't split apart. Instead, the metal lid at one end shot out like a gun and HALF of my biscuits came shooting out of the can and onto the counter. NO.JOKE . That's the LAST time I open one of those devil machine guns...

not my fault.  Just didn't read directions..            also not my fault! Except the manufactures probably didn't read their directions.

CRÊPES



Soo good and really fast and simple. Great for Crepe Parties! You should throw one!

What a failed attempt looks like. If you're using the pre-made kind, READ THE DIRECTONS! It will say if they're ready-to eat or if you need to fry them first. wonder what happened here..... but it still tastes good! they're like Crepe-chips! mmm..



CREPE PARTY!!



Nutella + Strawberries + whip cream + raspberries = HEAVEN

 Crepe batter is simple and can be found here. But if you are short on time, any local grocery store will most likely have prepared ones in their freezer/ refrigerated section.  And you can use whatever filling you want!

Super fun! Super easy! Ooo and fancy looking! ;) go on and impress your friends :)

 I cut it in half and they turned out GREAT. I also melted some milk chocolate with Nutella and cream in the microwave. mmmm I also had leftover chopped pecans and white chocolate.(macarons)
I sprinkled them on top of the drying chocolate and put some in the freezer to speed up the process. THEY WERE DELICIOUS! Let me know how yours turned out . It's practically fool-proof!
