One Great BIG Tip!!!!!!!!

Hello! I have one great big tip for you all!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH FOOD NETWORK OR ANY OTHER COOKING CHANNEL! IT IS FUN TO WATCH AND YOU CAN LEARN A LOT! But seriously, you really should watch some sort of cooking show! Thats my ONE GREAT BIG TIP! (or maybe not so big). heehee

Banana Boats

At Camp Forest Springs, a christian camp I went to, we had to camp outside for one night. During that night, we had to cook our food over the fire. Then we made a dessert over the fire. I didn't have one but my friends did and said they were so good!!!!!!!!!! Usually you would make the over a fire, but you can put it in the oven on broil. So this is how to make Banana Boats:

You will need:

one banana

mini chocolate chips

mini marshmallows

peanut butter

tinfoil

How to make it:

You take the banana, but don't peel it!!!! Just make two slits the long way on the peel about a half an inch deep. Then peel back that part of the banana, but don't take it all the way of the banana. Then take part of the banana out and put peanut butter on it. Then take a handful of mini chocolate chips and sprinkle them on on the peanut butter. And finally take ten mini marshmallows and put those on on top of the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Then put the peel that we cut and put it on top. Rap the whole thing in tinfoil and put it in the broiler until everything is melted. then take it out, and eat it!!! Yummmmmmmmm!!!!

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Hi again!!!!!!! My friend, Sarah, bought me this AMAZING recipe book for my birthday!!!!!! Here is one of the great recipes (this won't be very good for you, but oh well):

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

ingredients:

(serves 8)

4 oz butter, diced, plus extra for greasing

4 oz of all-purpose flour

2 oz of golden superfine sugar

1 and 1/2 oz cup of semisweet chocolate chips

2 oz of cornstarch

recipe:

1- Sift the flour and cornstarch into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar, then add the butter and rub it in until the mixture starts to bind together.

2- Turn the mixture into a large 9-inch loose-bottom fluted tart pan and press evenly over the base. Prick the surface with a fork. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and press lightly into the surface.

3- Bake the shortbread in a preheated oven, 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked but not browned. Cut into 8 portions with a sharp knife. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

THEN DIG IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that's it!!! I want to thank Sarah Fetzer for giving me this recipe book! I really appreciate it! You are so awesome, Sarah!

Fun With My Sister Abagayle!

Hi again! Well, lately, my sister Abagayle and I have been blending lots and lots of smoothies! Yummy! We have been making our own recipe, Fruity Smoothie. It is sooooooooooo delicious! Here is the recipe:

A WHOLE carton of strawberries

1 banana (it's alright if it's brown)

A fair amount of ice

Organic Agave Nectar or maple syrup

Plain yogurt

Around 3-4 cups of orange juice

It is so easy. All you do is cut up all the strawberries into 4th's. Slice the banana into 3/4 of an inch slices. Then, put everything in the blender, and blend it up!!!!!! Blend it up until it is king of watery but also icy. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. :)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Once, we were making chocolate covered strawberries with my grandma. They are very easy! All you do is melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave. Then, once they are all melted, you take the bowl out of the microwave. You'll need about 2 pints of strawberries for this recipe. Then, you take a cookie sheet and lay wax paper on it so it covers the whole cookie sheet. Take the strawberries and wash them. You may want to do this ahead of time so the chocolate doesn't harden. After they are all washed, dip the strawberries into the chocolate and set them on the cookie sheet. And you are all done!!!!!!!!!! Yummy!
