Chicken Wraps!

 So these were variations of things  I saw on pinterest. They were ok, but I should really stick with actual recipes! so these are chicken tenderloin I pounded them out really flat and pretty thin (this is a fun task!) then the one on the left is filled with Basil Pesto, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and I think Spinach, I don't quite remember, the one below is filled with Ham slices and cheddar cheese (I wanted a Cordon Bleu type flavor), I wrapped them up dipped them in egg white, floured and breaded them with Italian bread crumbs and baked at something like 200 degrees F. until the chicken was cooked through and the breading was lightly browned...they were ok but they were way too floury! Also this would have been easier if I had toothpicks to hold them together once wrapped! um so good luck if you try this out!

Mug Cake Obsession

So this is a regular chocolate cake in a mug that doesn't have peanut butter in it! and it goes like this :) 4 TBS sugar, 4 TBS flour, 2 TBS cocoa, 1 egg, 3 TBS milk, 3 TBS oil, 3 TBS chocolate chips (optional). pop in the microwave for 3 minutes! Delicious :)



I also made a brownie for one in a mug and can't seem to find the picture but it's perfect when you are out of eggs! And it goes like this! 1/4 c. sugar, 1/4 c. flour, 2 TBS cocoa, a pinch of salt, 2 TBS olive oil, 3 TBS water. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute and 40 seconds and it tastes just like a homemade batch of brownies :) Enjoy!

Nope, nope never again!

I was so excited about this recipe for banana bread in a mug! It came from the same post as that delicious cookie and peanut butter chocolate cake! What could go wrong?! Everything apparently! This was very gross! I'm not even going to tell you what is in it because it tasted like egg and banana which is not a good mix! It also didn't even turn out remotely like bread, I will never feel the need to save bananas until they are very ripe, again. Unless I make banana muffins?...hmmm Anyway, not everything I make is delicious...apparently :/

Friend Approved!

I was so nervous to try this recipe but it turned out amazing! And my friends loved it too! We basically devoured it :) This everyone is Garlic Cheesy bread! And this is what to do: for the dough, put in a mixing bowl 1/2 cup warm water, 1 1/8 tsp yeast, and 1/2 tsp of sugar, let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then add 1 tsp salt, 1 TBS oil, and slowly add in 1 1/2 cup of self raising flour. Knead well for six minutes! (May need to add a little more flour to get the right consistency, should not stick to hands). let it rise for an hour or two. for the topping, mix 2 TBS butter (melted) and garlic (I only had garlic salt so I just put it in until it looked and smelled like the right amount). spread the dough out onto parchment paper, spread the butter and garlic mixture and top with Mozzarella cheese (cover well!) and Parmesan cheese (enough to fill in any gaps and have a nice covering). Bake about ten minutes at 500 degrees, or in my case as high the oven will go. and then! mmmmm pretend you just ordered this from your favorite pizza place!    

This is a peanut butter chocolate mug cake. It was completely delicious and satisfying! It filled me up, and now my whole apartment smells delicious! I am still without Vanilla so that is the only ingredient missing from the recipe but this is what to do. Melt 2 TBS of butter, add 2 TBS of peanut butter, 1 egg, 2 TBS of flour, 3 TBS of cocoa, 1/8 tsp of salt, 1/8 tsp baking powder mix well and add 3 TBS of chocolate chips. Then simply microwave 1-2 minutes. I did one minute, had a mug of goo so i put it in for another minute and it was VERY cake like :) possibly a bit over done. But delicious just the same!

Bread!

These turned out golden brown and fluffy all the way through! They were quite bland tasting but dipped in oil and salt (I have learned the Italian way) they make for a nice side to a meal. 2 1/4 TBS of yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1 TBS sugar. Let stand for five minutes. Then add 2 cups of flour (I used self raising, which I think the original called for), 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix Well and add 4 TBS butter. Knead well, cover and let rise for 45 minutes.  Put into whatever shape (these were supposed to resemble crescent rolls but got too fluffy!) then make at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Then share with flatmates so that you're not tempted to eat all 9 of                                                                                     them :) Enjoy!

Cookie in a Cup!

This turned out to be a little tricky because my measuring cup disappeared! Anyway, this is a chocolate chip cookie for one, made in a mug! And this is how you do it :) melt 1 TBS of butter, add 1 TBS of Sugar, 1 TBS of brown sugar, 3 drops of vanilla extract (i don't have this so  I just didn't do it!) and a pinch of salt. stir. then add one egg yolk and stir. then add a little less than 1/4 cup of flour, then add two heaping TBSs of chocolate chips. Put in microwave for about 50 seconds. it's important to let it sit because it keeps cooking in the mug after you finish and it's really hot and tastes funny if you try to eat it right away (from experience!). BUT, after it sat and cooled a little it tasted much more like a cookie :) Njoi!
