Cake Pops!

Who doesn't like a good creative dessert? You don't? Well then go away -_-, anyway!!!! You will need a box of cake mix, I love strawberry cake! Do that one(; You will need a large bowl, a cake pan, table spoon,  any frosting will work(if you look at one of my old post you can also make your own frosting if you would like), cookie sheet, lollipop sticks, parchment paper, and a 3/4th table spoon to scoop with so everything is the same size. 

1. Bake the cake as instructed on the box. Then you want to cut it into four pieces and let it cool on a plate or cooling rack.

2. If you aren't make a hugeeee thing of them, like more than 5... wrap the rest of the cake up in foil and sticky wrap(yes, I know that's not the right name for it but I call it sticky wrap!). Then put it in the freezer and it will be fine for another use later. (oh yea, cut the edges off so you don't have chunky cake pops(; )

3. Then cut your 4th of the cake into 4ths also! Take 2 of the 4ths and then put them in the large bowl and crumble it. I prefer to do this with my hands but if you don't like getting dirty, use a fork -_-

4. Now you need to mix your frosting into the crumblies of the cake. Don't use to much or they will be to moist and will be to heavy to stay on the sticks.


5. Mash it together until it is one ball. Then use the measuring spoon to make even balls of cake, then roll the ball in your hands to make it perfectly round.

6. Put them onto the cookie sheet with parchment paper on it and let them sit in the fridge over night to harden. (put something over it)

7. Melt chocolate bark to dip the cake balls in it(if you use white chocolate almond bark, then you can use food coloring to color the chocolate as wanted.). Once it is melted, then get your cake balls, dip the lollip pop sticks in the chocolate and then put the cake on the stick, then dip the cake into the chocolate also. 

8. Put then in cups that are weighed down if you don't have foam block to stick them into. That will let them cool without getting a flat side. Before they cool you can also put sprinkles or colored sugar or things like that to make them pretty.

 


9. Let them cool for about an hour. Then you are good to go and eat them!

Lemon/Orange Shake up!!!!!!

This is the best thing to get at the State Fair! Who else agrees? I know you do! I'm going to put a twist on it though(; Lemon/Orange Shake up!
You will need 1 small lemon, 1 medium orange, 1/4 cup of sugar, I recommend a mason jar to mix them in, and water, depends on how strong you want the shake up to be.

1. Wash the lemon and orange then roll them to get the juices all ready and everything. Then cut them in half.

2. Put the orange and lemon in the mason jar or whatever you are mixing them in. Then add the sugar and water.

3. Shake!!! It takes a little while of shaking to get the juices to mix in the water. You may need to add more sugar then I like, I don't want it to sweet because the orange is sweet as it is.





4. Put some ice in it and then drink it, you  may need to do some adjusting with the sugar and water like I said. It taste amazing doesn't it?! I know(;

Tacos... yumm

Everyone loves tacos, helloooo meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and taco sauce!? Maybe some sour cream on the side,... maybe that might be pushing it 0.o

The first thing to do is to get the ingredients! You will need a pound of ground beef, any kind you like. Then get a head of lettuce, a few tomatoes, a bag of shredded cheese, taco seasoning packet, what ever kind you like, taco shells (hard or soft), and of course!!!! the taco sauce! The best part. I recommend Taco Bells but any kind is fine I guess...

1. You have to brown the ground beef, unless you want raw tacos, which just doesn't even sound appealing. You want to stir the meat every once in a while.

2. Once the meat is brown, put the taco seasoning in while following the directions on the packet, most likely it says add a 1/2 cup of water. Some say more, whatever it is just follow that. It will need to simmer on low for a little bit, like 10mins probably. Whenever it starts to thicken it is done.

3. You need the shells to be warmed up next. I put hard shells in the over just hang them on the racks. Then just let them sit in there for about 5mins. Any longer and they will burn.. ew. Soft shells can just be put in the microwave for like 20secs.

4. Put the meat in the shells, then the cheese, then the lettuce, then the tomatoes, then the sauce! (if you really want it... put sour cream on -_-)

5. Enjoy. You are welcome(;

Orange Stuff!

For as long as I can remember at every family event, my Regular Grandma(don't ask me why we call her "regular" grandma, my sister started it) has been making something we call Orange Stuff. I think the technical name for it is "Orange Jello Salad." My grandma was supposed to make my moms orange fluff, but just didn't turn out right. It turned out better! It is like heaven on earth! 

Step 1. Get your ingredients! You will need 2 small boxes of tapioca, tub of Cool Whip, and small can of mandarin oranges, and a box of orange Jello.

Step 2. You cook the tapioca and jello together as directed on the box pudding. The most important part of this whole recipe is to let the pudding/jello cool all the way! I would say at least an hour.

Step 3. Once the pudding is fully cooled, fold in the Cool Whip. 

Step 4. Put some of the oranges in the pudding, then put the rest on top in a circle.

That's it. I would put it in the fridge for a few hours though because it is the best right out of the fridge. It will get liquidy if you leave it out. Don't leave it out longer than about 2-3 hours. It would be to liquidy. Just not as good... Makes me sad thinking about it.

Make Fruit Salad

I really want fruit... Fruit Salad sounds amazing right now! Doesn't it!? It does... So this is like the most basic thing in the world to make. Who can't cut up fruit and put it in a bowl right? Welp... my sister. Hopefully there is no more Heathers out there.. but just incase.

Step 1. You need to get all the fruit you want. Personally my favorite is, a mango, grapes, bananas, apples(whatever kind you like), kiwi's, pineapple, peaches, raspberries, strawberries, and oranges. They are all my favorite fruits! You will also need a big bowl, cool whip, spoon, sugar and a lemon.

Step 2. Then next part is to cut up the apple and bananas. I always do that first, I'm not sure why, maybe be they are the most basic fruits? I don't know... then I would do the pineapple, peaches(peeled), and mango! Mangos...<3 Last do the smaller fruits, grapes(i cut them in half, you don't have to), strawberries(cut in half), and raspberries.


Step 3. Once they are all cut up in the bowl, mix them. I would say after a few mixes they will be okay. After that, use a little sugar on top then mix it some more.

Step 4. The sugar is in it now so roll the lemon to get the juices flowing. Cut the lemon in half then juice the lemon on the fruit. The lemon will make sure the fruit doesn't get all brown and gross... No one likes brown fruit -_-.

Step 5. Scoop out some fruit and put it in a bowl. Then get your cool whip. Put it on top!
Beautiful... enjoy.(:

Home Made Frosting!

Home made frosting is sooooo good, when I was a kid, my Aunt Donna Jean made all my birthday cakes and did all the baking for family events. Her pastries were always gone before anything else. My Aunt Donna Jean made the best butter cream frosting... it's actually really easy, if you are good at baking. I started helping her bake everything when I was like 6, does that say how easy this is going to be?

The first things you are going to need is powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, milk, and food coloring if you want. You will also be needing a mixing bowl, and a mixer. Well you don't need a mixer. I just say to have one because it makes it all easier.

1. You will need to make the butter soft at room temp., just leave it



out for about 3 hours. It will be okay after that to use most likely. You will also want to prepare the powdered sugar by sifting it.
(Just saying, don't use melted butter... it ruins it. I did that once and it just wasn't the same.)

2. Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. I usually do the sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, then milk. In that order, I don't think it really matters in the order of the way you put them in, but I've just always done it that way? :/ Could matter, not sure. I guess if you have enough of the ingredients, try it how ever you want!(: With the milk, you add very little amount to start off, after you mix it, you may need to add more. Frosting doesn't take much at all. I don't use measurements... sorry. :/ 

3. Once they are all in there, I usually start to mix it with a spoon, then once the ingredients are all nicely mixed, use the mixer. The speed should be like medium until it is smooooooth. Once you have the right consistency for your frosting, go ahead and put food coloring if you want. That is always the last thing to add.

4. If the frosting is to think, you can add some powdered sugar. You thought you should add milk right? WRONG! The sugar will thin it out. If the frosting is to thin, put it in the fridge. Personally I freeze my frosting, it will never go bad! It also thickens it if left in there about 30 mins.

(optional) 5. If you want to flavor it... WE CAN DO THAT! there are several flavors I like, I like vanilla and strawberry! Vanilla is obviously the original frosting that we just made. The strawberry can be done in several ways, my favorite is the way my Aunt Donna Jean did it. Just put frozen strawberries in it! Not a lot of the actual strawberries, more of the juice in the bag. Just pour it in like you would with the food coloring. 

Cool Whip Cookies

They are the best cookies in the whole world! I made them and brought them into work... they were gone within a hour. It was crazy! Everyone loves them! My family and I ate a whole batch in like a day... they are so good. The things you will need is a mixing bowl, a cookie sheet, a tub of cool whip,cake mix, 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and I recommend wax paper.

1. You will want to heat your oven to 350 degrees. You would think that they would need a hotter over, which isn't true they cook perfectly at 350.

2. Put the cake mix in a mixing bowl, then add the 2 eggs. Mix that together, then mix in the whole tub of cool whip, yes you can eat cool whip left in the container. It will be hard to mix, but it is worth it. Just keep mixing until it looks right. It will be very thick, which is okay. 

3. You are going to get a spoonful of the dough and then drop in the powdered sugar. Roll the dough around until the dough is covered. Then put it on the cookie sheet. Do this several times.You can fit about 12 of an cookie sheet.

4. PUT IT IN THE OVEN! COOK THE COOKIES! The cookies should be done in about 8 minutes, you will know they are done when they start to turn brown on the outside of the cookie. They will be veryyyy soft and kind of not done? But they will continue to cook. Trust me, they are perfectly done if you do as I say! 

Let them cool for about 10 minutes, they will be fully done then. Then try them, good right? I thought so... you are welcome. 

Make Deviled Eggs

Theeee best Easter food in the world! Deviled eggs are soooo good. I learned from my grandma. If you don't like miracle whip, hard boiled eggs, and mustard... don't even read this. When I think Easter, I think about eggs, and pink of course. When you make deviled eggs, you will need, a big pot, about 10-12 eggs, miracle whip, mustard, vinegar, and a big bowl. 

Step 1. You need to put the eggs in the pot that you have. Put water in the pot about an 1 to 2 inches above the eggs. Once you have the water and eggs, put the eggs on the stove. 

Step 2. Turn the stove on about 6 or 7. Once the water is boiling, turn it off. Let the eggs sit in there for about 15 to 20 mins. 

Step 3. When time is up, drain the pan, and put cold water with ice cubes in it. You may have to change the ice and water a few times, but once the eggs are cooled, put a sheet of wax paper on the counter. Just to caught the shells. 

Step 4. Lightly bang the eggs on the counter to break the shells. The just start peeling, sometimes they are easy to peel. If you have older eggs they are easier to peel. When they are fresher, they are harder to peel, but both work. Just the older eggs will look better because the eggs won't have chunks out of whites. Sometimes it happens, oh well. They still taste good (;

Step 5. When they are all peeled, cut them in half, vertically. 

Step 6. Take the yolk out of the egg, the space where the yolk was is where you put the combination of the following things. 

Step 7. Mash the yolks up and nice and powder like. Some chunks are okay, not a lot! No one likes to many chunks or to little... lol? Sounds weird, oh well.

Step 8. Once the yolks are all nice and powdery, put some miracle whip and mustard. Not to much because you can always add more, you can't take it out once it is put it... so be careful with the condiments. I don't use measurements, just do it by your tastes. Once it looks good, add a little bit of vinegar. 

Step 9. Put the mixture in the whites, hell, put some of top of the whole egg actually. You will have more mixture than you need, just eat the rest, it taste so good! lol.

Step 10. EAT THEM! They are yummyz right? I think so... if you did it right anyway. Don't add paprika, it just ruins everything...

Feng Shui Your Bedroom from Negative Energy

We all have negative energy in our lives, it is unavoidable... People tend to just live with it, how about we don't? Why should we? It's not good to be around negative energy all the time, even just some of the time. Your bedroom... you really don't want negative energy, let's be real...  
I want to help you, and in all honesty, myself also. Anyone heard of Feng Shui? No? Alright, Feng Shui is a system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy, and whose favorable or unfavorable effects are taken into account when siting and designing buildings. Let's Feng Shui our rooms!

Step 1. Don't have a mirror facing your bed, or mirrored closet doors. They end up putting to much energy in a room, the point of Feng Shui is to calm everything.










Step 2. Try not to put your bed under a beam, they can disrupt your sleep. If there is no way around this, hand 2 bamboo flutes from it, they are supposed to block unwanted energy from the head. 





Step 3. No water in the bedrooms anymore. No water paintings, no pictures of waterfalls, no fish tanks, NOTHING. Maybe a glass of water is fine... nahhh skip that too.





Step 4. Like flowers? Maybe a tree? I don't think so! No plants, no green... get over it people. The plants are bad! NO MORE VEGANS! EAT THE MEAT! cows, okay... oinks? yes! lettuce? NO! leave them in the kitchen(:





Step 5. Put your bed anywhere, just not against a wall. That's no good people! Do you want negative energy? I didn't think so. When you are... ya know... it can bring bad energy to have it against a wall. It means that one of you will be TRAPPED! You can't get out?! What?! Exactly... get out of the middle! Move the bed to the middle of the room, good energy, and no not being able to get up when you have to pee later... just saying, we have done it. Don't lie.

Step 6. Yes, we all like tv at night... Butttttttttt no more. I'm not saying get rid of it. Just like, cover it or put it in the closet, maybe turn it around, ect. Just don't look at it! YOU WILL DIE! well maybe not... But don't try it! Really wanna press your luck? I don't! 

Step 7. We all like reading at night right? A good book before bed is calming... until you have a mountain of books next to your bed, so high that you can't even see the door... yeah, we've all been there. Well only nerds to be honest... psssstttt, Hancock. The books are okay, just not to many books. When you are done with one... put it away. IN THE LIVING ROOM! 



Now, I've said pretty much, clean your room... make the rest of your house CRAP. Well, maybe in another post, we will clean house? No... I'm to tired... But just follow the steps, and you will have little to no negative energy in your bed room.
