Hurricane Sandy's Junky Chunk Cookies!

                                This cookie's name is exactly what it is. Junky and Chunky.

2 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup (two sticks) Butter, Softened
3/4 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla (extract)
2 Eggs
Pretzels (Minis)
MilkyWays (Minis)
ChessMen (or whatever kind of shortbread cookie you would like)
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 360 degrees F. Un-wrap as many MilkyWay minis as you want, and cut each one in halves or quarters. Crush up your shortbread cookie of choice, along with crushed pretzels, and put into a bowl to await further use (hehehehehehehe...) In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time. After that is all creamy and yummy looking, add the flour mixture in small increments. When the dough is all combined, abandon your mixer (if you were using one), roll up your sleeves, and crank out your wooden spoon. Put in one handful at a time of the Junky Chunk mixture, and stir slowly. You don't want the Chunk in Junky Chunk to be 'minuscule granules'! When all of that is combined, wipe the sweat off your brow and add in as much chocolate chips as you want! When you finally finish mixing, put small soon-to-be-cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
ENJOY!!!!

Cheezy Pop!

For Hurricane Sandy, we're trapped inside with...SNACK FOOD!!!! Here's an easy recipe that can bump up a boring snack-food, if snack foods can be boring...

5 Spoonfuls of Parmesan Cheese
3 Tablespoons of Olive oil
Popcorn kernels
Salt
Pepper

Put oil in the bottom of a pan/pot. Let it heat up a little bit before coating the bottom of the pan with popcorn kernels. Put a lid on the pan, but don't walk away. When you hear a pop, slowly start shaking the pot over the heat. When the popcorn is finished popping, pour two spoons of the cheese over it, along with salt. Split 1/4 of the popcorn into a bowl, then pour the rest of the cheese and pepper. Put the lid on again, and shake. Pour into a bowl and ENJOY!!!!!

Banana Pudding!!!

OMG credit to my baby-sitter Kelsey!!!!! Best recipe!!!! had to make it twice in one week because we finished it so fast!!!

1/2 pack vanilla pudding
1/2 sweetened condensed milk
3/4 of a cup of cold water
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
4 Bananas
3/4 box of Nilla Wafers

Mix the pudding mix with sweetened condensed milk and water. Put in freezer for 15 mins. Meanwhile... start making the whipped cream!!! Don't add any sweeteners!!! Once you get soft peaks, start to fold in pudding mix. Layer 1 layer of wafers on the bottom of a HUGE bowl. Then bananas. Then 1/3 of whipped-pudding goodness. Repeat 3 times. Crumble a little wafer on top for garnish.
ENJOY!!!!
P.S. this is just half the recipe mind you!

Miracle Berry

Miracle Berry: The berry that can switch your tastebuds.

This is not a recipe. This is just a suggestion to you foodies out there!

Buy: Lemons, Limes, Greek yogurt, Sour Cream, Strawberries, Brie, Grapefruit, and Cranberry Juice.

Put each item sliced, spooned, or chopped into seperate bowls. Take half a tablet and cover EVERY PART OF YOUR TONGUE, INCLUDING UNDER IT. Do not bite it. Swirl it around until it is fully dissolved. Eat and taste the weird flavors!
Hint: Lemons taste like lemonade!!!

4 Chicken Thighs, no bone or skin
4 sprigs of Rosemary
1 small pack of Parmesan Cheese
4 pieces of Prosciutto
Olive Oil
Half of a bottle of Red Wine
8 pieces of cooking string

Lay out the Chicken Thighs (flat). Sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on it to cover one layer. Put one piece of Prosciutto, then a sprig of Rosemary on each one. Roll up, and tie with the cooking string (2 per Chicken Roll).
In a pan, pour in Olive Oil to cover the bottom. Let the Olive Oil heat up, then put in the Chicken rolls :). Let them brown a little bit in the pan, then pour in the Red Wine. Simmer until cooked-looking ;).
