Yum Yum Apples

DIRECTIONS

Hollow out the apples (I suggest Red Delicious apples). Put cinnamon and sugar inside (of course don't fill the whole apple with cinnamon and sugar) . Bake at any temperature until the apples look cooked. After they are done baking, fill with the vanilla ice cream and put caramel on top. Enjoy!

Homemade Lip Balm

INGREDIENTS

• Petrolium Jelly
• Honey
• Vanilla Extract

DIRECTIONS

Put however much petrolium jelly you want into the bowl (depending on how much lip balm you want to make). Add in as much honey as you want.Stir. Then heat it in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds. I made the mistake of heating it for 30 seconds and it got all watery. After it's done heating, let it cool for a bit and add in the vanilla extract for some scent. Stir again. Find a container to store your lip balm, and you are finished!

                                                                                                                                                  

Italian Sodas

INGREDIENTS

• Club soda

DIRECTIONS
Brown turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drain the fat from the turkey (by holding the lid over the skillet and pouring the fat in the sink, unless you would like to save it for later, for some reason) and add the onions, peppers, and paprika. Saute it for 2 minutes. Add your crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the cauliflower and the broccoli. Replace the lid and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. Combine your parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan and sprinkle over your vegetables. You're done!

Butter Crumbs

INGREDIENTS

• Flour
• Brown Sugar
• 2 sticks of unsalted butter
• Bowl

DIRECTIONS

Place your bowl on a counter. Put in the 2 unsalted butter sticks. Cut them up into squares. Then dump some flour and brown sugar into the bowl. Mix around the butter, flour, and brown sugar. As you're doing so, also pull apart the butter, until it is very small. 

Note: You can put these crumbs on top of Apple Pie or you can just eat them, but if you just eat them, don't eat to much. You could get sick if you eat to much raw butter, flour, and brown sugar!

Slushy Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• Blender
• 2 trays of ice
• Cup
• Juice, wine
• , soda, or any other type of beverage
• Straw(s)

Directions

Set up your blender. Put the 2 trays of ice inside. Then, crush them up in the blender, until it looks sort of like snow. Then scoop it out and put the crushed ice into a cup. A nice glass cup is pretty because it gives the slushy sort of a classy look. After you put the crushed ice into the cup, add the juice, wine, soda, or any type of other beverage. Next, add yourstraw(s) and sip away!

                                                                                                                                   
French Toast Roll-Ups

INGREDIENTS:

• Bread
• Jelly and Cream Cheese
• Cinnamon and Sugar

DIRECTIONS:



Place the bread on a plate and cut all the crust of...don't peel it off, just cut it off with a knife so it turns out into a rectangular-ish shape. Then, spread the cream cheese thinly and jelly narrowly. Make it about an inch wide (about this size across the top if you turn the bread long side going down:              ). After that, roll it up and put it in the regular french toast mixture (2 eggs and a little bit of milk). Next, place it in the pan, which is set to medium and has butter spread on the bottom of it. Make sure that the roll-ups are put in the pan seam side down (seam side down is the side which you could open back up). Turn them around while they're in the pan so they cook evenly. After they're done and out of the pan, roll them around in a cinnamon and sugar mixture. Put them on a plate and eat up!
