What happened, weeks 4-8?

Week Four:  Mexican Lasagne. 
Tasty, but a full week of food!
Four weeks in and I became a post slacker.  This has been more challenging than I expected.  The first big challenge was with my week four recipe.  It was delightful, and I have plans of getting it in here with it's appropriate "Week Four" title.  However, I then had to EAT it all.  And that took me OVER a week.  My bad.  I live alone, so a full lasagne takes time. 

 
Week Five:  Grilled Steak with
Roasted Red Potatoes and
Brussels Sprouts

Recipe wise, I'm still up to date.  I've averaged at least one new recipe per week.  But I'm also a slow poster.  Ok, I'm just a slow writer.  I should have known that going in.  And when I think about writing, I don't always have the RECIPE with me.  That doesn't help when it comes to sharing the tasty recipes that brought you these yummy dishes.  I'll work on that.

Week Six:  Salmon! 
First time I've made salmon and
TRULY enjoyed it.  Delish!


Regardless, the challenge continues.  And as I don't have recipes here, or really enough time to sit down and them justice... I'll leave you with some food porn to tide you over.  Bon Appetit!










Week Seven:  Four recipes here!
Two different cupcakes, two
different (and new!) frostings.

Week Eight:  Peanut Butter
Cupcakes with PB Frosting
and Reese's Flowers


As a side note, this is no where NEAR my first dabbling in desserts... I do love to BAKE!  I am naturally more inclined to bake than cook "real" food, though, so I've been generally focusing on those dishes with more nutritional value.  A few birthdays at work, however, and we have SIX recipes to share!  Three types of cupcakes with three types of frosting.  I can feel the sugar coma...
