Good Eats.
We've had some good eats around here the past few days!
Homemade Meatball Hot Pockets- yummy!
Shrimp & Grits. These pictures aren't great, but trust me when I say that this is one of the most delicious things I've ever made. Cheese grits first.
Topped with shrimp, sausage and other delicious flavors. YUM. YUM.
Jerm's birthday cheesecake. Mocha chocolate chip. Very, very good. I'll try and get a better live action pic, but I haven't managed to get a nice photogenic slice yet.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEREMY!!

Bridal Shower
This is the reason I haven't been posting much lately! I hosted a bridal shower for Katy last Saturday, so between the prepping and recovering, I haven't blogged lately!
Here are the hand-made invites. On the left is the closed view and on the right the open view, minus important identifying details. You know, to ward off the creeps.
The shower was quite lovely, if I do say so myself. It featured tons of good food (all homemade) and three awesome homemade cheesecakes. I was a bit worried about one of the cheesecakes, as it was a new recipe, but they all turned out great!
Black Forest Cheesecake
Toffee Chunk Cheesecake
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
The damage!
A few shots of the tablescape, if you will. And I think you will!
Last but not least, Oreo Ball Truffles that I made for favors. Yummy!
Making all this food just encourages my plan to someday open some sort of cafe. I'm thinking it can be combined with a knitting store, right next to my future office!

Happy Mother's Day!
Black Forest CheesecakeWe had dinner over at my mom's for Mother's Day. I brought the salad and the following cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious and looked much better than these photos show. I am seriously an abysmal food photographer. Plus, I was trying to take the pictures in a hurry so not everyone would ask me why I was taking pictures of a cheesecake. Anyway, here you go. Mmm, cheesecake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEREMY!!
