The Voice/New Years Eve

-
Did you watch the Voice this season?  Did you?  I did!  The first year and probably only year I will, and that was because of this amazing singer Cassadee Pope.  I didn't exactly watch it from beginning to end, but I watched from the time she auditioned in September (?) to December 18th when she was chosen as the Voice winner.
Why did I watch just because of her, well if you weren't paying attention or have no idea who she is she once sang for a band called Hey Monday, which I love to death, and since the band split December 2011/January 2012 I have been following their journeys separately into new things, and while I wasn't a fan of the Voice, this got me to watch and vote.  So amazingly awesome and slightly addicting.

Part two of this little thing was that because I was a little bit older this year and not afraid of getting lost in San Francisco I went to hang out with my sisters on New Years instead of staying home yet again with my parents.  There is nothing wrong with it, but since I was the only child staying home I was not having super fun being the only one that could make it till midnight (and past) without a nap or "closing my eyes for just a second" or running to bed right when the ball drops.
No not fun.  The one downside, that is fixable due to this lovely thing called the internet, was that I missed Cassadee perform on New Years.   I mean it wasn't that big of a deal because I've seen her perform plenty of times, but it was just a little funny that the one time I wasn't home watching a New Years Eve special was the time I wanted to see it.
Now you can enjoy it and see what you missed:

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
