Yay Food!

Warning contains some real food.

Start with any old "egg",beacon and cheese on an English muff breakfast sandwich from your favourite fast food joint. bring it home, disassemble the parts and lay out on pizza pan. toss in oven @350C. meanwhile finely slice one mini sweet bell pepper and crumble a sm amount of blue cheese. when everything is warmed up reassemble the drive thru breakfast thing except this time . Muffin bottom, sprinkle of blue cheese, a few rings of the pepper & 3 half pieces of bacon .add the egg patty, repeat the pattern of pepper, cheese and meat. top of the English muffin. (i put Saskatoon berry sauce on the muffin and holy crackers! what a gourmet dish for under $4 and out of something trashy as F.)
would try it with a peppered gypsy sausage and more fresh pepper slices and/ or spinach, either fresh but maybe grilled would go good too. hmmmm. grilled with goat cheese?

Make gelatin with tea! Any kind of tea will do. Easy and quick to make, it's also incidentally vegan. Great for potlucks!



The Jellification of Tea

Make a butter pen.


Would you use this? I guess if you eat a lot of toast, it might be handy to keep the crumbs out of your butter dish. I could see this being useful camping too, unless it got hot.

Here is a list of six healthier, low-fat versions of popular comfort foods.

What's your favourite comfort food? Mine's perogies, and I would love to figure out a way to have those in a low-fat version.

You will need
6 granny smith apples
1 pie crust
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Cut off the top of 4 apples off and discard. Remove the inside of each apple with a spoon very carefully, as to not puncture the peel. Remove skin from 2 additional apples and slice very thinly. These apple pieces will give you filling needed to fill the four apples you are baking. Mix sliced apples with sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. If you prefer more or less cinnamon and sugar, make adjustments as desired. Scoop sliced apples into hollow apples. Roll out pie crust and slice into 1/4 inch strips. You can also add a strip of pastry inside the top of the apple almost like a liner to add a little more texture/sweetness to the pie. Cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips. Place apples in an 8×8 pan. Add just enough water to the cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and sliced apples are soft.

A cookbook you can cook. What?



The book is made of pasta, it teaches you to make a lasagna. Each page of the book is instructions for that layer, and you bake the whole thing. Such a cool idea, and that lasagna looks delicious! Looks like you'll need a translator though, the instructions are in German.

EDIT: Some more fun things I found:

Spaghetti Yeti (I'd boil it in soup stock to give the tofu more flavour)



Super Mario Piranha Plant Cookie Cupcakes



I know a few people I could make these for!

Yes, you can do it, and make your own cereal to go along with it.



Homemade Lucky Charms


Do you like sweet and sugary cereal? What's your favourite kind?

This is pretty advanced stuff, but wow does it ever look good!

This recipe has them making their own molds, but you can easily purchase your own and just make the sugar part. I've always been really nervous about making anything with sugar as you have to get it so hot. \
Have you cooked with sugar? Do you like candy?

Easy and delicious.
