SAD NEWS THIS WEEK!

 

This is my last week for my school project to have a consistent and running blog. but, this isn't the end for me my new idea is to have this blog for many more years. This blog has given me a long term project to complete instead of plying silly computer games. Hopefully my blog will grow into a very successful blog. My teacher is an inspiration to this statement as she has made a blog that started off like mine and then flourished to getting up to 80,000 views a  month. I would really like if my blog was as successful as hers because then I could also have a small part time job to have savings for my future, you are helping me achieve my goal by visiting my blog. Though, the only thing that will change from my blog is that it may not be as many weekly posts because I maybe a little busy. 

   

Cake Pops!!!

Cake pops are a very lovely treat to have at birthdays or Tea and cake catch ups. Cake pops are absolutely delicious. They are basically small little bits of cake rolled up and dipped in setting icing and are decorated and put on a kebab skewer. These are one of our families favorite treats to have on a Friday evening watching a movie. Cake Pops can be made in various ways. 

Here are a few links to these scrumptious treats

What's cooking this Easter?

 

Hi guys! I  really hope you've all had a good Easter off and are all chocolate sick.

well to day I'm just going to share with you what you can do next Easter for Breakfast/lunch/dinner

Breakfast is always really fun because here in New Zealand because you can eat it inside or outside (depending on the horrible Auckland weather which is a lot like the UK) This Year my Family had Warm croissants with cheese and ham or jam and cheese. Me being from South Africa, I added a twist to mine. I had a croissant and stuffed it with Sosaties (South African marinaded Kebab) and Mayonnaise. Not the Healthiest of options (well, who is healthy at Easter time?)

You could also have French toast (savory or sweet) 

Easter lunch is very big here in New Zealand and I think it is also in USA. For lunch we had a typical toasted sandwich, but you could have a traditional feast with a roast leg of ham/lamb and seasonal Vegetables (this is very similar to thanksgiving or Christmas). Here in new Zealand we tend to have very big families so a traditional lunch is a must, but to other it is just another lunch.

Easter Dinner isn't a big thing here but it maybe in other countries. If you toke my advice I would probably take it easy and just have lamb chops and mash potato but it depends what you feel like.

Have a good time and be nice to one another.

Scones are a perfect treat on a summer evening with tea or coffee

2. Cut in the butter until the dough feels fine crumbs.  dig a hole in the centre.
3. Pour in the milk and vanilla essence and mix quickly with a knife until the mixture forms a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly.
4. Roll out or press out to 2cm thickness. 
5. Cut into 5cm rounds or squares and place on a greased baking tray. Brush with milk to glaze.
6. Bake at 230ºC for 10 minutes until cooked.

Chicken Nuggets!

 

 

 

Chicken Nuggets are great, but there must be a better way to eat them then with plain sauce. My opinion on food is that there are many ways to enjoy them like instead of eating all the carrots have fun with one by using some of your rotten fruit/vegetables as decorations for snowmen.

 

Here are some ideas to make Chicken Nuggets more fun to eat!

•  A chicken dog (put 3-4 chicken nuggets and your favourite sauce into a hotdog bun)
• Chicken nugget pie (cook the chicken nuggets then  put them in a deep baking pan lined with flaky puff pastry and maybe put some carrots and other winter vegetables)

Please send me photos of your ideas at jordiet02@gmail.com
