My Mission:

I love cooking. I love baking. I feel like it's a wonderful outlet for my creativity and a way to warm the hearts of my loved ones. Days spent in my kitchen with my apron on and flour in my hair are my favorite days.
However- having struggled with my weight my whole life I've learned how to modify recipes for years. Now on Weight Watchers- I still cook delicious foods for my husband but I have tricks to shave off lots of fat and calories!

Girl's Night

Early this past fall I started a fun tradition here at the Brilhante house... Girl's Night! About once a month Ron leaves the house to me and the ladies. So all my girlfriends and my mother come over for a night of fun. It's always pot-luck. It's always finger foods. It's always fun! Each time there's a different eclectic group of ladies I love around my table.
I love hostessing! I like having my sweet smelling candles burning and a fire in the fireplace (which is right in my dinning room) and my Fiesta ware dishes stacked in quirky combinations and music softly playing throughout the whole house.






So everyone arrives with some sort of appetizer. My friend Danielle is famous for her trifles! She always makes amazing WW friendly chocolate trifles for dessert. We make mock-tails. We eat. We talk. We laugh. We share stories. They've been some of the most fun nights!




This month I made low fat, mini turkey bacon and zucchini frittatas and bruschetta! I will write a separate entry for the specific recipes!
