This is an old recipe found in one of those cookbooks sold to fund-raise for town events and such things, it is quite yummy! Although I crisped the topping a bit too much and had broiler problems, it was delicious, and even my coffee-cake-connoisseur mother loved it.

Perhaps a rather unusual approach to coffee cups, as the small fingers coming out of the cups give us the creeps, to be honest.
But interesting nevertheless. Especially if you want to bring a certain… West European look to your guest room.
What do you think? Would you buy these for your home?

Granola is my favorite snack but as you know it is ridiculously expensive in stores, even for plain/simple combinations! Making your own is the way to go.
Toasted Fruit & Nut Granola Recipe
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1/2 cup dry fruit (I had a mixed bag)
- 1/2 cup nuts (I used walnuts and slivered almonds)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- pinch of ginger
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- splash of maple syrup
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325.1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Combine all wet ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring.
3. Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula.
4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and distribute the mixture evenly.
5. Toast granola for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The granola will finish hardening after it is taken out of the oven.
I like really crunchy granola, so 40 minutes may be too long for you depending on your texture preference. Also, I drizzled a little bit of caramel onto the finished product!

Today I made churros with my friend Larissa & Evette. They’re actually really simple to make and amazingly good! If you’re wondering why they’re round it’s because to shape it like an actual churro we need to buy a star-shaped tube, and we didn’t want to do that. They still taste the same though, no matter what the shape!
Anyways, since they were so amazing, I’m posting the recipe online.
As for people that know me personally, I’m planning on making a huge batch tomorrow & bringing them to school tuesday. If you want them, hunt me down during lunch!
Ingredients—
1 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts oil for frying
1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamonDirections—
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture. -

Ah the Internet…
Now a craving for chocolate cake/brownie becomes actual chocolate reality in about 3 minutes.
2 tbs water + 2 tbs oil or butter + dash salt + splash (or more) vanilla + 2 tbs cocoa + 2-4 tbs sugar + 4 tbs flour + bits of chocolate (not required, but recommended) + 70 seconds in the microwave = delicious, rich, brownie-like substance.
Mmmmm… so many recipes for this but they are all tasty at night when I want them.

I made this over the past week. My parents love cheesecake and this how I make it every single time.
Was inspired to make this after seeing some of the comic recipes that were posted by areyoutryingtodeduceme

All these colors were achieved with red, yellow, blue, and green food coloring mixed into white frosting. The amount of drops needed for the color you want is underneath the icing color. So convenient. :)
I love Mint Chip = 3 blue, 3 green
