Oh dear. I've had my first baking misfire. I attempted to make the angel food cake dessert with pie-filling that I pinned on Pinterest forever ago. Epic fail. I used "light" cherry pie filling instead of lemon because I wasn't in the lemon mood this afternoon. I had read online that the recipe will work with any pie filling, but clearly I did something wrong. It's messy. And ugly. But I think it tastes good. The Fiance however, wants no part of it. In fact, he offered to take it to work tomorrow for his coworkers. haha. He mentioned that he doesn't like cherry pie filling. Who knew.
Due to this baking disaster (okay, so I'm slightly exaggerating, but still...) I'm not doing anything exciting for dinner. I was going to make a new soup with chicken sausage, beans, and veggies, but no way. We're grilling the sausages instead. I'm thinking I can't screw that up! ha!
I guess it worked out better this way, since I'm exhausted from yesterday's fabulous trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Can you tell I'm excited to be there!?!?!
We had an amazing time - the weather was perfect, the park wasn't all that crowded, and we enjoyed spending the day away from our hectic schedules!
This may be one of my most favorite pics... haha.
That was a child's hat! hahaha! :)
Everyone knows that the food at Disney is less than healthy. I opted for a veggie burger and fries for lunch.... I ate the whole burger and most of the fries, but the roll was kinda soggy, so I ended up just eating the burger. It was scrumptious.
haha, sorry for the after-bite picture... I forgot to snap it
before I started stuffing my face!
Really, I was saving all my calories for dinner and dessert - we had big plans to hit up Terrace 390 in Downtown Orlando. Luckily after maneuvering around serious traffic issues, we made our 6:30 reservation. The food was delicious!
I opted for the grilled chicken with fingerling potatoes
and green beans. Amazing!!!
Shaun ordered the special, which was a wasabi tuna with risotto.
He wasn't all that impressed.
He wasn't aware how rare the tuna would be!
The service at the restaurant was bad. Our waitress was atrocious. Luckily, the waiter that was assigned to the table next to ours was on top of things and occasionally stopped by our table to ask if we needed anything. Shaun gave his meal a 5/10, I rated mine a 8.5/10, only because of the pathetic amount of potatoes I got. We both agreed though that the presentation of food was a 10/10.
We left and I was ready for what we were anxiously awaiting...
Carrot Cake from The Dessert Lady! :)
Oh me, oh my.... words cannot even describe this deliciousness. It was perfect. So perfect, we ate the entire thing in record time (except we did leave some frosting... too much of a good thing is bad!). We both decided that if Tampa had The Dessert Lady, we'd both be in BIG trouble! haha!
Well, now that I've filled you in on what went down this weekend, it's time for me to catch up on some DVR'd shows before I start dinner. Fingers crossed that there are no disasters while grilling the sausages and baking a sweet potato. Easy right!?!? :)
Have an amazing night!
Sweet Hugs,
Lauren
