1 stick of butter
2 tablespoons, Lemon Juice
3 large egg yolks
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper

In a blender, mix eggs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
In a saucepan, bring butter to a boil
pour butter into mixture and mix for a few seconds.
serve immediately.

Day 2, Cheesy Garlic Bread

We were going to a friend's house for dinner so I wanted to bring a side dish. I decided to go with Cheesy Garlic Bread. I have never made it before but it was easier than I thought. I started by cutting a loaf of french bread in half lengthwise, next I buttered the bread, sprinkled of Parmesan cheese, then grated mild cheddar cheese and topped it off with an even coating of garlic powder.
I broiled it in the oven for 3 minutes and it was done.
Everyone liked it. The only change I would make is to put the garlic powder on before the cheese and maybe sprinkle on some other seasoning.

Day 1Chocolate Cake

I had a lot of different colored icing left over from other desserts so I decided to make a chocolate cake and decorate it with the icing. I got a lot of cake decorating supplies for Christmas and it was fun to try them out. Sorry, there is no photo but it turned out pretty good.

MY QUEST

My name is Morgan and I am 11 years old. My dream is to become a professional Pastry Chef. So I thought of this idea to challenge myself to see if I can make 365 different dishes. I am going to add the recipe, pictures and comments of each dish and hopefully one year from now I will be a better cook.
Please leave comments and suggestions. :)
