Do you really need a reason?

So I decided to start this blog because I was talking to a good friend and it seemed like the thing to do. We all have facebook...well the vast majority of us, and I seem to be posting the dinners I love on there more often than not. My fiance is a lucky guy. I love to cook, and he loves to try everything I make. He gives constructive feedback which is good....most of the time...and I'm glad. Cooking is my vice. I find there is always something that calms me down and makes all the other stress feelings go away when I start mixing herbs and spices together.

I made yorkshire pudding for the first time two days ago. I saw it being made on Fixing Dinner on Global and so I though, hmmm...i made roast the night before with an amazing gravy....so why not make the Yorkshire pudding to go with leftovers tonight. Needless to say, it was a hit :)

Easy Yorkshire Pudding

• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups 1 % milk (325 mL)
• 1/2 cup flour (125 mL)
• Pinch salt
• Canola oil

1. Make Yorkshire Pudding by first preheating oven to 425 F (220 C).

2. Beat the egg in a medium bowl until slightly frothy. Whisk in milk until blended. Whisk in flour and salt. Let stand in fridge. Set timer for 25 minutes.

3. Place a drop of oil in each muffin tin (12 in total). Place in oven for a few minutes or until slightly smoking. Remove and immediately pour approx 1 tbsp of batter in each. Return to oven uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

I made tacos last night. Heads up, the Old El Paso taco mix tastes better than the President's Choice one. The PC brand is much stronger....it works for 60 cents cheaper...but honestly, I'd rather spend the extra 60 cents for the Old El Paso brand once I start working at my new full-time job in June.

Anyway, I have laundry to do, as well as studying for the CRNE, and then I'm going away for the May long weekend! I may or may not blog, depending on what goes down. Until we meet again, have a yummy tummy!!
