Cooking/ baking fun!

Getting ready to cook, watch out world

Who likes to cook and who likes to bake? I personally love both! However it can be really boring if you do everything the traditional "normal" way. So I say spice life up a bit and be creative while doing these tasks.

First off I want to talk about the beauty of making dinner. When making dinner it is fun to make it for others right? Right, so my friends and I have started doing "family dinners". Family dinner is the wonderful thing where once a week we come together in someones apartment and make dinner for our group of friends, the apartment switches every week. It is just a great time where we can bond and eat together and come together as a community.

For my best friends birthday last year I made him things with the theme of "food on a stick" so everything was on a stick. Kabobs, corn dogs, pop-cycles, fruit dipped in chocolate, meatballs on a toothpick, it was great fun!

It is really fun to experiment, one of my great friends and I made Indian food the last time she came to visit me.It is now our tradition to experiment and make new food when we are together.

Baking! I love to bake but I also like to be creative while baking. I like to make birthday cakes for my friends birthdays but they tend to be interesting or say something interesting on them. For instance, for one of my friends birthdays we wrote something out in sprinkles on top of the cake for another one we added dye to the cake and made it multicolored and wrote with dye all over the frosting. I once had a cake with a Barbie stuck in the middle and the cake itself was her dress.

For valentines day my friends and I made heart cookies... but they were not your pretty pink and red cookies oh no, they were an ugly greyish blue color, it was great fun.

So have some fun with your cooking skills today and fill your belly!
