putting it together

I'm getting really bad at updating aren't I??? I apologize. It's really hard with my full schedule, but here I am making a quick update (with lots of pictures) before I have to go to work again.

We started our advanced baking class this week, and I LOVE it. I've liked almost everything we've made. BUT, I will have to do a recap on my most previous class, which consisted of mostly proteins and putting together full dishes. This worked out really well, because it taught me a few things for Thanksgiving. Here are some of my favorite dishes from the class:

Grilled Salmon and Vegetables with French Lentils


Seared Scallops with Orange Beurre Blanc Sauce


Roasted Butternut Squash Soup


Grilled Pork Chop
with Warm German Potato Salad and Braised Red Cabbage


Chicken Roulade with Port Wine Reduction


Shrimp Gumbo


Sauteed Duck Breast with Cherry Reduction


Crispy Snapper with Fine Herbs Sauce

Happy Holidays! I can't wait to show you guys my advanced baking pictures when I'm done!
