Little Blogger Friends

Meet Cara.  She is a blogger, she is my friend, and together we are little blogger friends.  Cara is my best friend, my sorority sister, my PR classmate, and my soon-to-be Paris travel partner.  We decided to be adventurous and take on this crazy blogging adventure together.  She is a rabbi's daughter, who loves food and dreams of having her own show on the Food Network.  Her blog, Caramelized (get it?), covers everything from recipes to restaurant critiques.

Friday night we had our first ever 'Bake and Blog' night, which we are hoping to make a tradition.  We started our night at the grocery store, buying all of our cooking and baking supplies.  After hours of trying to decide what to make for dinner, we finally decided on salad, salmon, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower.  To make the amazing salad, we simply used goat cheese, raspberries, blueberries, candied pecans and raspberry pecan vinaigrette.

After our salads, we made the salmon and the sides.  We seasoned the salmon with salt, pepper, and lime pepper, but you can get the full recipe on Cara's blog.  She is also posting the recipe for the brussels sprouts and cauliflower.

The most exciting part of the night was the dessert, of course.  Thanks to Pinterest, we made amazing peppermint ice cream sandwiches with double chocolate cookies!  We know it isn't proper etiquette, but we had so much fun playing with our food.  You can also find this recipe on Cara's blog.

And none of this would have been possible with out our lovely food critic and photographer, Brenna.
