Pumpkin Pie

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
   Today, we will be making a very special, common Thanksgiving dessert, pumpkin pie! 
Did you know....
That in colonial times, pumpkins were actually used as the crust, they used the pumpkins' hard sides to create the crust, not the filling! But it was still a pumpkin pie. In 1621, the pilgrims started to gather sugar, to use for some meals, or for Thanksgiving dessert.
In 2010, the world record for the largest pie was 3,699 pounds!
  Thanksgiving actually started when the Native Americans and pilgrims, who got trained by the Native Americans, gathered, harvested, and hunted so much food- enough for a three-day-feast-they created Thanksgiving, since they were giving thanks for what they had. But their Thanksgiving was different, they used to have lobster, craw fish, deer meat, turkey, chicken, apples, and other fruits and vegetables. Today we eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

      Since their are so many things to make, we will be focusing on pumpkin pie, a wonderful dessert for a pleasant evening. Here the recipe!!
What You'll Need
  • 15 ounces, pumpkin puree, canned
  • 2 eggs
  • One frozen pie crust, 9 - 11 inches
  • 14 ounces, sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon, nutmeg
  • Sugar, one tablespoon
  • Cinnamon, one teaspoon
  • Ginger, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon
  • 1/2 teaspoon, salt
  • 1/2 cup, heavy cream
What You'll Need To Do

  1. First, you'll need to take a large bowl and pour the pumpkin puree, and condensed milk, and mix.
  2. Then, add the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and vanilla into the same bowl.
  3. Third, crack the two eggs into another small bowl, and whisk, until the eggs are properly mixed.
  4. Fourth, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Then, mix the egg mix and pumpkin mix together and pour it into the pie crust.
  6. Then, put the pie crust on to the oven plate and bake for 55 minutes.
  7. After the pie is made, serve warm, or if you want you can add whipped cream!
For The Whipped Cream

  1. First, take the 1/2 cup of heavy cream and add sugar.
  2. Second, take the hand blender and stir the sweetened cream, until it is as thick as whipped cream.
  3. Then, put some heavy cream into a plastic bag, and at the corner of it, cut a small opening, for the cream to flow onto your pie.
  4. Enjoy, HAPPY THANKGIVING!!!!
       Tip of the Week
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving, and second, enjoy and be thankful for all the food you've had. Remember, do not over stuff yourself.

Banana Nut Cake

   Since, we just passed Thanksgiving, and are approaching Christmas, we will be making delicious desserts between now and then, with a healthy twist. But today, we will make banana nut cake, a naturally healthy treat, fun for the entire family. 
Food Facts: When you get a cake or other treats for a special occasion, such as, birthday parties or holiday parties, and they usually are very sugary or creamy. Both aren't healthy, since you are consuming a bowl of sugar. This is why we will be making banana nut cake, with less sugar, more nutrients, and tasty ingredients. Let's get started!

What you will need

  • Two very ripe bananas, depending on serving size
  • 1/2 cup of plain flour
  • 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
  • Two eggs
  • 1/2 chopped walnuts or cranberry or almonds (optional )
  • 1/2 cup of canola oil or butter
  • One cup of sugar
  • One teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • One teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 cup of milk
Steps You'll Need To Take


  1. First, fill the 1/2 cup plain and whole wheat flour into a bowl, and add the one cup sugar into the same bowl. Mix it until the powders are mixed properly.
  2. Second, peel the bananas and create a puree out of them.                                                       
  3. Once you mashed the bananas, add the vanilla essence and baking soda into the flour bowl and mix.
  4. Fourth, take another bowl and crack the two eggs on it and add the milk into it and stir. 
  5. Then, melt the butter or add the canola oil- I recommend canola oil, much healthier- into the bowl and mix.
  6. Sixth, mix all the ingredients in another bowl and add walnuts (the mix is suppose to look like the mix up top) .
  7. Next, preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
  8. Then, add flour onto the sides of the oven plate and pour the mix into the plate and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on serving size.
  9. After 20 minutes, check if the top of the cake is golden brown, if it is, turn off your oven and let the cake cool.
  10. Last but not least, enjoy the cake with your friends and family!
If needed, walnuts are not really needed, for the ones who are allergic to nut.
This banana nut cake is a healthy way to start eating healthy, instead of buttery or creamy cake, try this or the next set of desserts in line. Sometimes when you think a thing is healthy, but you aren't sure, just take a healthy helping of that food, and enjoy! Be sure to visit next week for some delicious parfait!

Berry Blast Smoothie

   Since this week's weather is better than the average November season, we will be making fun, fruity smoothies. A smoothie is basically a combination of different fruits and yogurt, that is put into a blender, and it gets mixed around, until it is a fruity liquid.                                
        Sugar is not needed because fresh, natural fruits make up their own sweetness. Sugar also makes it a little unhealthy, you do not want to be sucking down a sugar-filled smoothie. This is why we will learnt how to make smoothies, with different combinations.
     
What You Will Need For a Berry Blast Smoothie

  • All your favorite berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.
  • Yogurt, ( not flavored )
  • One teaspoon sugar,( depending on how many people )
  • Lemon, ( or lime )

Steps You'll Need To Take

  1. First of all, you will need to cut of the fruits' inedible ( such as, strawberries, you should cut their leaves off.)
  2. Then put all the berries into the blender and squeeze lemon juice into the blender and mix, until the fruits are properly liquefied.
  3. Third, add four spoons of yogurt ( depending on how many people consuming ) and add one or two spoons of sugar.
  4. Blend and serve and .... ENJOY!
    Be sure to add leftover berries on top of the smoothies- as it is done on the picture on top-to make it look that is is done by a professional, anyways, it is also healthy to put fruits on top it is make it healthy and yummy.
How did you like this recipe? Do you have different berry combinations?

         Tip of the Week
Fruits and vegetables are healthy containing many fibers and vitamins, there are many ways to make a healthy choice and have fruits for snack, instead of a bag of chips, it is better to have a carrot instead of a stack of cupcakes. Making a healthy choice changes people, from obesity to lean, from lazy to active. It is not only healthy, it is also yummy. So eat healthy and stay active, even in Winter.
See You Next Week!!

Ancient Hot Chocolate

It's October, soon it will be November, and the months will continue to change and so will the seasons, from Fall to Winter. It will start to get colder and more people will enjoy in the cold, and end up with a cold. So this is why we will make Ancient Hot Chocolate! 
Food Facts: When you buy hot chocolate at a vendor or a store, you may not know how much sugar is contained in it, it's fine if you have it once in a while, but drinking it usually doesn't seem so healthy. It can contain hundreds of calories and day by day you can get less healthier, and that can cause Diabetes, and we want to stay away from that! This is exactly why we will make homemade hot chocolate, it will have less sugar, it will be tastier! Let start with the recipe!
What you will need
  • Four ounces of unsweetened chocolate ( depending on number of people )
  • One teaspoon of chili powder
  • 2 1/2 cup milk
  • One cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Two tablespoon sugar
What You'll Need To Do
  1. First, break all the chocolate into small pieces and put it to the side.
  2. Then in a small pot, heat water on the stove and wait until it boils. Keep chili powder in once it is boiling, whisk until it is properly mixed. Then, set aside to cool.
  3. In another small pot, slowly heat the milk and add vanilla and cinnamon, and stir until it is properly mixed.
  4. Remove the saucepan containing the milk from the stove add the chocolate and sugar and whisk until everything is mixed. Then put the pot back on the stove. Wait for the chocolate to melt and mix gradually.
  5. Then, slowly add the chili water into the milk mixture.
  6. Wait until everything is mixed and remove the pot off the stove.
  7. Serve warm.
And.....ENJOY!!

Ancient hot chocolate is tasty yet healthy, the blend of cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, sugar, and chili powder really give the drink an unique taste, which make your throat feel much better in the cold. You can keep marshmallows or a side of unsweetened chocolate for fun, but I do not recommend you to keep it all the time because it is unhealthy, but the hot chocolate is perfect for cold days. This is why this week's topic was hot chocolate!
      
Tip of the Week
Whenever you are sick, and you want ice- cream really badly, you should think that you will just be making your cold worse. It is also unhealthy because having something cold in the cold, doesn't sound like a good idea. It can cause you to be sick. 
For example, you can have hot chocolate in Fall or Winter and Popsicles in late Spring and Summer. It is a healthy choice to make. So keep eating healthy and be sure to drink this magnificent hot chocolate!

    Food Facts: Whenever you go to the store and see a box of apple turnovers or any other flavors, just remember that you are buying a box of sugar. Store- bought items may not be so healthy especially when your are getting pastry-like things. This is why I will teach how to make homemade apple turnovers!
         Here's the recipe!

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • One tsp of cinnamon
  • Pie crust ( pre-made )
  • One tbsp of flour

  1. First , peel and slice the apple and slice it into small, thin wedges.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  3. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour into a pan, mix it altogether on top of the stove. Make  sure that all ingredients are mixed properly to begin the next step.
  4. After you cooked the apple mix, make sure that it is soft and cool.
  5. Then, roll out the pie crust. You can cut the crust into either squares or circles.
  6. Then, put a little of the apple mix on the one side of the small dough and roll it up into a little pocket of filling, make sure that there are no leaks in your pocket. Continued doing this until you have no filling nor any crust.
  7. Apply oil to the oven plate and place the apple turnovers. But, before you keep it in the oven, be sure to poke a hole in the top of each pocket.
  8. Finally, place it in the oven, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, make sure that they have are brown. You don't want to eat them raw!
  9. Lastly, enjoy! Serve with your favorites.
There are many ways to serve apple turnovers such as serving it with your favorite ice-cream, or with hot fudge, frosting, other syrups, and many more toppings. 


You can use many other fruits instead of apples, you can use blueberries, and other fruits.
    This is a tasty way of eating healthy. A fun, homemade treat for the family. Eating homemade food is great, and sometimes you can grow your own food, that is even better, fresh food right from your garden. 
So what did you think of this recipe? What other fruit turnovers do you have in mind? 

Tip of the Week
      Have you ever tried to make fruit desserts, or something sweet that includes fruits. Well, you can make tons of different treats out of fruits. Such as you made the apple turnover. You can make raspberry pie, fruit cake, banana walnut bread, and many more. So eat healthy and try to make these apple turnovers and other fruit desserts! Have fun!

Crepes

Do you ever wonder what you want for breakfast? Instead of making waffles or pancakes we will make crepes! A French pancake, a pancake, in which you can keep anything you want!
         Food Facts: In the morning, it is important to eat healthy to start of your great day! Store bought waffles and pancakes can contain a lot of sugar and fat, and you cannot keep vegetables on a waffle. But you can keep all the combinations of food, fruits, and vegetables in crepes. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or snack! Crepes are an everyday meal, you just need to have the right utensils and ingredients. Let's start cooking!

What You Will Need
  • Two eggs ( depending on number of people )
  •  3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • One cup flour
  • Three tablespoons of melted butter ( if you want to make it healthier, put canola oil, instead of butter )
Steps You'll Need To Take
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together. Then let the batter sit for ten minutes. Make sure that all the flour is mixed in and wait until it is thick if you want it to be fluffy.
  2. Heat oil on a non- stick pan, then add two or three tablespoons of the batter and let it sizzle until it's golden brown. Swirl the batter, while it is liquid, on the pan for it to be even and big.
  3. After 30 seconds or so, flip the crepe over and let it cook for ten more seconds, then remove from pan. Put it on a plate and continue to make crepes until the batter is done.
  4. Then comes the best part... Layer your pancake with anything you want, fruits, vegetables, meat, etc!
You do not have to keep something on your crepe, you can eat them plain or just layer your crepe with only syrup as long as you are getting the wonderful taste of crepes.
Toppings That You Can Keep

  • fruits ( blueberries, apples, strawberries, etc. )
  • vegetables ( carrots, spinach, tomato, etc. )
  • meat ( chicken, turkey, beef)
  • syrups ( maple syrup, chocolate syrup, etc. )
  • whipped cream, ice cream, yogurt...
Anything you want!
Crepes are healthy but the toppings aren't, you would want breakfast to be fun, so instead of keeping a gallon of chocolate syrup, just keep a little and move onto another topping.

Tip of the Week
Eating healthy is important, especially in the morning, you don't want to be grumpy the rest of the day, nor does any body want to be obese. So get a head start and start eating healthy and work out. Instead of eating unhealthy frozen breakfast meals, start eating cereal, healthy cereals. Some cereals can contain a lot of sugar, make sure you pick the right ones. But you don't always have to eat cereal, there are millions of different breakfasts. Such as crepes, oatmeal, and many more. I start my day with milk and Honey Nut Cheerios and with a side of fruit. 
What do you do?

English Muffin Pizza

Do you ever buy pizza and it turns out to be either too cheesy or flavorless or too spicy? Cheesy is not healthy nor is it fun to deal with a sticky mess. Flavorless cannot be tasty and most likely it cannot be healthy. Too spicy is not good for your stomach, so  I will teach you how to make healthy easy homemade pizza!
Facts: Store bought dough can contain a lot of yeast, that is hard to unfold, this is why we will use a different bread. Pizza that is bought can also be unhealthy by the lack of tomato sauce. Here's the recipe!

What You'll Need

  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded or a whole block of cheese, it's your choice ( skim milk )
  • English muffins ( cut each one in half )
  • Toppings of your choice ( cut them into small pieces ) ( toppings such as red peppers, green peppers, onions, anything )
  • Tomato sauce
  • Italian seasoning
Steps You'll Need To Take

  1. First mix the Italian seasoning in the sauce, shred your cheese, and cut each English muffin in half.
  2.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  3. Then begin to layer your muffin, first keep the sauce, then the shredded cheese and your favorite toppings.
  4. Keep tin foil on the oven plate and apply oil before putting your slices on, when that is done, keep it in the oven for 30-40 minutes depending on batch size.
  5. Wait for the vegetables or cheese to darken or for the cheese to bubble in the oven.
  6. Lastly, take the plate out of the oven and wait for it to get cooler.
Then...
ENJOY!!!!!                                                English Muffin Pizza
 This new recipe will become your favorite one, instead of once in a while, it will be a weekly dinner for you and your family. It's also healthy so why wait, go to the store and get the ingredients and start  the oven! If you like your pizza spicy I recommend you to put pepper flakes on top. Serve it warm with  a side of a cool drink!
Have fun!!!!

Tip of the Week
Today we made pizza, but wouldn't you want a cool drink. I know a  fun drink mix. First get out all your favorite juices. Pick up your one favorite and pour half the glass. Then pour a little more of another drink, keep on layering your glass until you reach the edge of your glass.  Make sure you don't spill anything, balance is a big thing in cooking. Hope you liked these recipes!
What are your cool combinations of juice or the topping? How did you like the recipe?

Oatmeal Cookies

Are you ever wondering when your or someone else's birthday is coming up, or any other special occasion, "what should I do for his/her birthday?" Instead of making a cake or any other type cake, I will teach you how to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! A healthy mix of nutrition and taste, for the entire family to share. 

          FACTS: When you go into the store and see a box of cookies, don't always assume that they are healthy. They can contain lots of fat calories. This is why I will teach you how to make oatmeal cookies, just the number of cookies you want and the sweetness you like. Most of the store- bought brands usually contain a lot of sugar and are sweeter than they claim. So here's the recipe:  

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
What you will need


  • Betty Crocker Cookie Mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup canola oil, instead of butter, oil makes the cookies healthier
  • 1 or 2 tbsp of water
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
  2. First combine the cookie mix and egg together
  3. Then, mix the 1 cup of canola oil.
  4. If your dough is too dry, add a little water.
  5. Put your cookies in the preheated oven, set them for 10-12 minutes.
Last, but not least... Serve warm, and enjoy!!!!!
I recommend you to pour a cup of cold milk, or with low fat vanilla ice cream. 


Tip of the Week
When cooking, always make sure to know what you are doing. Accidents can happen, you can keep sugar instead of salt, you can overcook  a vegetable or something inside the oven, you can burn your hand, and there are other dangerous things that can happen, so concentrate when you are in the kitchen. I hope you enjoyed this recipe, next time you will see the daily meals of France.

Tip of the Week: Tropical Fruity Blast
Love fruit salads, then keep all those ingredients in a blender and keep mixing until you see it has completely turned into liquid, If needed, add water or ice.
If you are a person who needs the juice sweeter, just add one little spoon of sugar, it makes a big difference. For those who enjoys sour and bitter juices, I recommend you to add more lime juice. Hope you like this recipe, too. What fun fruity ideas do you have?
