It's Mothersday!!!!

Hey, guess what day is today!
Of course!!!!! MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!
I woke up at 6:30 am only to go over to Chelsea's apartment to help her make the present for mothers day.Of course Chelsea was just joking about going over at 6:30 am, so I had to wait hours to go over because I didn't want to go back to sleep.
Otherwise, the surprise was an Edible Fruit Arrangement.It looks like flowers, but they actually are fruits.
Oh, i almost forgot to tell you that "Laci" ( say : lotsee ) was helping too.( He is Chelsea's boyfriend. )
He like helped carving the fruit, and pouring the honey or chocolate on the fruits.
By the way, this is the recipe.

Ingredients :

1. ( Any fruit you want ) At least 5 different kind of fruits.( We used bananas, strawberry's, pineapples, mandarins, apples, oranges, and a little lettuce.Make sure that  the pineapples are whole pineapples, and are  
not out of a can! )
2.( If you want to ) honey and melted chocolate
3. cookie cutters ( big star, little star, big hart, little hart, big flower, little flower. )
4. about 20 shish kabob sticks
5.( If you want to ) Smiley face candy
6.light colored ( red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue ) tissue paper
7. Little ( 4 inch tall ) colored pot

1.Prepare your honey and your melted chocolate
2. Put your fruit in two parts
3.Carve your fruits in different kind of shapes
4.Pour honey on one part of the fruits, and your chocolate on the other part of the fruits
5.Stick your fruits on your shish kabob sticks ( Please not just one carved fruit one one shish kabob stick, because then you wont enough sticks )
6.Rap your tissue paper around the lettuce and put it in the pot
7.Stick the sticks in the lettuce and the smiley face in the middle ( Tipp : don't push the sticks tooooo far in the lettuce otherwise it will be really hard to pull them out!
8. Cut little parts from the pineapple and put them as a decoration to the Fruit Arrangement.

This is how it looked like when we were done.

We also organized an indoor Scavenger-hunt for her. It was so so cool!!! At the end she had to go to the pantry.I ran as a surprise quick in the pantry.When she opened the door, I shouted   SURPRISE!!!   
                                          Then she found the Edible Fruit Arrangemant!

Oh, I almost foghot. We also made a card for her saying " HAPPY MOTHERSDAY !!! WE LOVE                                                        YOU!

The Fruit -salad

Hi!
Until now, the only thing that I COULD do in the kitchen, was a big, delicious looking, and IS delicious, and  fruity dessert! it's name is "the Fruit-salad".One a calm Sunday, I thought, maybe I could make some salad.now here is my recipe.I won't make this fruit-salad with every kind of fruits.You can make it with any fruits.I am just gonna use those that i like.


You need  :

• 2 APPLES
• 2 or 3 BANANAS
• 1 or 2 PEARS
• 2 TANGERINES
• 2 PEACHES
• 2 APPRICOTS

And as last you always need    YOGURT ON THE TOP!!!!!
Any other Ingredients you would like.

Oh, and I forghot to tell you that Barbie ( I mean my Barbie-doll )was helping me cook. 

Take a fruit,  that you want to take. The first thing is with all of the fruits is to WASH THEM!!!!!!!!
Number 2 : you cut them, and while you are cutting them, make sure you cut them into very very SMALL pieces!

You know, if you just cut them somehow, then you will not be able to eat it.then collect them in a bowl, until you cut all of them.Then the trick in the whole recipe is the yogurt!Once I made it at my grandma. First, I didn't wan't to put the secret ingredient in it but then my grandma told me to.You know i didn't know the secret yet.The last thing to do is to serve and and to eat the yummy salad!



 By the way, maybe you can remember onto the "Spain" posts."Paella" ( pronounce : piaya ) is a spanish food witch mom made it looks really strange because the main part of the food was rice and the rice was YELLOW! When we were eating it no one knew how she made the rice yellow.Her secret was :

 
Now you will get to see a photo of the Paella.

                                                 Well, good bye until next time!!!!!!

Banana Ice-cream

Hi 
 This will be a healthy, tasty desert or way to get rid of bad bananas!

Ingredients 

• Freeze  your bananas for at least 4 hours.

Bananas before freezing

 

 

 

 

Bananas after freezing

 

 

•  Then slice your bananas into thin pieces.

This is how thick they need to be. 

 

 

 

    

This is me slicing 

• Then peel off the skin and put the bananas ( you can throw the skin away, we don't need it ) in a bowl.

That is me peeling a banana

 

 

This is how it should look.

• Now, beat the bananas together with an egg beater. ( If you don't have one, then you can use a blender or a food processor.

This is Andris beating the ice cream

This is me. The cream needs to look about like this

Your own banana ice-cream is now done !!!!!!!!!!

Buon Appetit !

 

 

 

 

This works perfectly with bananas, but I think that you can try it with and SOFT fruit . 
Here is where I found the "one ingredient ice-cream."

Chocolate Chip Muffins

For my very first post I would  like to share my muffins  with you. I adapted a recipie for chocolate chip cookies into chocolate chip muffins.  

Here are the ingredients you need.

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup margarin
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla sugart
• 2 eggs 
• 18 grams of chocolate bars, chopped into small peices.

 

 Once you have that, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C .  Then, for the first step add the flour, baking powder, and salt

 In a second bowl mix the butter and the sugars.

Beat the eggs into the sugar mixture. Then sift the flour into the bowl of sugar mixture. Finally stir in the chocolate chips.

 

Then pour the dough into a muffin pan and put them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

They turned out very good.  We couldn't stop eating them.  If your mom is on a diet, don't make these, because she won't be able to resist them.
