If you are cooking a special lunch for your family on Easter and your not up to tackling dessert I will be offering a few desserts perfect for the Easter holiday!

Lemon Blossoms

These are mini cupcakes baked with lemon pudding to make them super moist and then dipped in a lemon glaze made with fresh lemon juice and zest! My brother gave me this recipe...they are very tangy, sweet and fresh. Perfect dessert for the spring!

$6 for two dozens

My Grandmothers Carrot Cake

This carrot cake is three layers of super moist cake filled with yummy ingredients like carrots and pecans. (The first time Eddie seen me make this cake he said, " Carrot Cake really has carrots in it!") Each layer is covered in Maple Cream Cheese icing with chopped pecans. So Yummy! P.S. I can also make these into cupcakes instead of a three layer cake.

$20 a cake

Pineapple Coconut Cake

This is a yellow cake layered with pineapple filling and vanilla pudding. This is a 9" x 13" Sheath Cake. It is topped with a cream cheese and whipped cream icing with finely shredded coconut. Cake is topped with toasted coconut.

Red Velvet cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese frosting
I am super excited to make these cupcakes for many reasons. 1) I love red velvet cupcakes and 2) I bought the cutest cupcake liners and I really want to use them.

$1.50 a cupcake (minimum purchase 10)

Dinner is Served plus Dessert

I hope all who ordered last week are enjoying your dinners! It has been nice to have dinner already in the fridge so all I have to do is heat it up and Dinner is served. It helps us fight the temptation to eat out and spend money that we could be saving for more important things.
This week I am including a dessert for $1 extra per order. I am making home made brownies...they are so good and made with quality ingredients...way better than the box! If you are not ordering a meal and you just want dessert that is fine just let me know.

So, the menu for next week is...

Meal 1

Cajun Chicken Pasta w/ Caesar Side Salad
Penne Pasta, Green and Red Peppers, Grilled Chicken, Mushrooms, Parmesan cheese cooked in a cream sauce. (YUMMY!)
I included this in the menu again because a few people wanted to order it the first week but didn't get a chance too.

Caesar Side Salad

Meal 2

Chicken Tortilla Soup
This is by far one of the best tortilla soups I have ever eaten. It has the basics in it like Chicken, black beans , hominy, stewed tomatoes and chilies.
To garnish the soup you will get, tortilla chips, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
This soup is really light and fresh. I just started cooking it but it quickly became one of our favorites.

Meal 3

Shredded Beef Enchiladas with Spanish Rice
O.k. I have to be honest and tell you I have never actually cooked this as a meal, but I got the idea from me using the left over roast I cooked a couple of weeks ago and putting it in a flour tortilla with melted cheese. It was soooo good. So, I am confident this dish will be yummy!

This meal will come with two enchiladas...add an extra $1 if you want 3 enchiladas.


*I put veggies in my rice...It gives Sarai an opportunity to get in a few more veggies for the day.

So, if you are interested in one or three of these meals e-mail me by Friday Midnight.

If this is your first order add $2.50 to the final cost of your order so I can buy your containers. This is only for your first order because I will continue to re-use your containers(if you return them to me:)

Each adult meal is $5 , children under 10 are $2, children under 2 are free.

In your order be sure to let me know how many adult orders there are and children orders, also let me know if you have a child under 2 so I can add a little more to your order.

Don't forget about Dessert!



*Whats for dinner fed 26 people last week!

So this is whats for dinner.

Thanks so much to my friends who ordered from me last week. I had three meals on the menu and everyone ordered the same meal...the pot roast. This was fine with me because it made my life very easy and it is by far one of my most favorite meals to cook. I cooked it exactly the same way my grandmother and mother always cooked it. It was the meal always prepared for special guest at our house and everyone I cooked for last week is special to me!

So the menu for next week is...

Bar-B-Que Pulled Pork Sandwhiches
Cole slaw (ed's favorite, he is going to be so excited I am making this)
Home made Mac N' Cheese

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (Ultimate Comfort Food)
White Rice
Potato Salad

Chicken Broccoli Casserole smothered in Pepper Jack Cheese
Corn on the Cob w/ Butter, Garlic, and Fresh Parsley

Whats for Dinner?

My brain has had a busy week. You know how you have a small thought and only in a few minutes it becomes huge, like a thriving business, your dream house, a new recipe, a conversation with your boss...etc. Well that is what happened to me this week, a friend made a comment that gave me an idea that has grown into a possibility of something really cool. So here goes, I cook for my family a few times a week and I am very lucky that I can stay at home with my daughter and have time to cook. I realize alot of people are extremely busy with day to day activities and they dread the inevitable question...what's for dinner? So, If you are too busy to cook and would like to enjoy a home cooked meal at least once or twice a week without the stress of long lines at the grocery store and a huge mess in the kitchen let me cook for you.

I will post my menu for the week on the previous Wednesday, you need to order by Friday at midnite, and your meal will be delivered to you on Sunday.

E-mail me for additional info! Celeciaheardmartinez@ymail.com.

I look forward to cooking for you!
