Sarah and Pedro's Fabulous Kitchen

Well, I took a picture. Wahoo!!! :) For the past few days, I've been trying out my cooking skills. It's been fun. Since I've mastered homemade (delicious) salsa, I've been making it quite a bit. I made a big bowl of it the other day, and since the last time I did that part of it went bad, I decided to become salsa creative. Okay, so not that creative, but so far I've come up with two delicious recipes. First, I made a chicken salsa melt. That consisted of marinating two large chicken breasts, grilling them in a skillet, and then topping them with fresh salsa and a slice of cheese and letting them broil in the oven for a bit. That experiment turned out fabulous, but unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture. Next, I thought, "What else can I make with this darn salsa?" Of course, my obvious choice is Mexican food, right? Hmm...Well, you try finding Mexican food in Brazil! Seriously. I really want to make some super delicious homemade tacos, but since I've run out of flour, that's become a little difficult. Anyway, I thought, "Why not a delicious pasta salad?" So, that's what I made. It was so easy. I cooked noodles, put a little oil on them, mixed them with the salsa and a little extra salt. Wa-lah. But my real feat that I took on today was twice-baked potatoes. I had never made them before, but I was most definitely craving them. So, I took out a recipe and tweeked it a bit. I didn't have green onions, so I just used a regular old white onion. And I also added a little bit of cream cheese. Yummy! They turned out great. Thankfully, Pedro has liked all of my experiments so far. He is so great to always compliment them and eat a lot. :) haha Well, here is a picture of our latest cuisine. Pedro and I made the meat together--I marinated it, and he cooked it. :) Yay! That's all for now. More to come...

P.S. Try to guess which plate is mine and which is his. ;)
