Reviews

Here are a couple movie reviews and some yummy recipes I've made and tried.


Julie & Julia.....**** (4 stars!) It was cute, even Scott liked it. I was rooting for Julie and her goal of mastering the recipes from the cook book and I was chuckling at Julia and what an adorable personality she had. What a great little romantic comedy!

My Sister's Keeper.... *** (3 stars!) Of course it was sad, but it's more than that. It's about families, and the true meaning to love someone. It was really good, and the entire time I'm watching I'm praying my children don't ever have to experience that...ever!

I made this delicious Black Forest Cake (first time!)


(I had to take pictures for my good friend Stephen, the cake lover!)
