Candy Corn Milkshake

 

Yay! It's the first day of candy corn week! I'm so excited and I hope you are too.

Okay, when I first thought of candy corn week, I knew it was genius. But how do you get the flavor of candy corn into stuff, was my first thought.
I mean, I know you could make a candy corn party mix by just doing chex mix, white chocolate and candy corn, but that's boring.

Then finally I saw the inspiration I was looking for. Candy Corn Puppy Chow.
Okay, Laura is genius (actually all the girls over at Cookin Up Good Times are genius, but since I love candy corn, this is especially genius).





So how do you get a candy corn flavor? The answer is . . . .  white cake mix (and candy corn of course)!

Immediately I started thinking of hundreds of ideas.
Then I thought of this milkshake.
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.


Candy Corn Milkshake

This gets it's candy corn flavor from candy corns and white cake mix, plus with food coloring it even looks like a candy corn!!

Serves             Cook Time         Prep Time       Total Time
3                         5 minutes           5 minutes        5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of milk
• 1/2 a cup of white cake mix, add more or less to taste
• 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
• 1 tbsp of light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup of candy corn
• orange and yellow food coloring
• Cool Whip

Directions: Blend ice cream, cake mix, corn syrup and milk together. Add candy corn. Divide into two halves. Add orange and yellow food coloring to the seperate halves. Layer orange on top of yellow, put on whipped cream.

Notes:you can add candy corn for garnish. It helps if you crush the candy corn in your food processer first and then add to the milkshake.



Hope you enjoyed the first day of candy corn week!!

Candy Corn Week!!

NOTE: I realize this is totally the wrong season to be doing a candy corn week, OK,  I get that. But, since no one actually reads my blog, that won't matter. Like I've said, this is just for future reference.

It's CANDY CORN WEEK!!!!! I looove candy corn. I can not be left alone with candy corn in the house. I've been known to eat myself sick. I've seen lots of candy corn stuff on the web and I've got candy corn bouncing around in my head. I realized I had enough stuff to fill a whole week (and more). So prepare yourselves, on Monday I'll be having a candy corn post.





I heart this stuff!!!!!

Cake Batter Pudding Mousse

 
I used to put all my food ideas in a navy blue notebook.

It was pretty good idea. I'd just write down the idea and the star ingredients, and where I'd get the base of my recipe, the blog I adapted it from. I'd even write tidbits of what the blog post should say. I'd even do whole themed weeks (like Candy Corn Week, or Boston Cream Pie Week). It was awesome. That way I'd never forget what I'd make, and if I was ever stuck with a case of bloggers block, I'd just do some of the prepared recipes from my notebook.

But sadly, the notebook was lost. Gone are all my hopes and dreams and inspirations. But I still remember a few of them, and I save them into drafts on this blog. This is one recipe that I remember.

So, this is kind of totally off topic but .. . . .  I love mousse, I mean, look at this
 
 Don't you just want to lick your screen?

Well, Ashton is kind of the pudding mousse queen. I mean, she's made Samoas Pudding Mousse, Thin Mint Pudding Mousse, and Red Velvet Cheesecake Pudding Mousse and a lot more.
But I figured, hey, two can play at this game. So now I've thought up all sorts of pudding mousses in my head that I'll post someday.

Anyways, this mousse is especially good because it tastes like cake batter!!! Me and cake batter are BFFs. I think on my birthday week, or on EOIH birthday week, I'll do lots of cake batter things. Again.

By the way, this mousse is easy peasy, totally can do, and it only takes like five minutes. So what are you waiting for, go make it!!

Cake Batter Pudding Mousse

(4 “sizeable” portion)

 

Ingredients :

• 1 small box vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 small tub cool whip
• 1 1/2 c. milk
• 1/2 c. funfetti cake mix
• optional: crushed graham crackers

Instructions:

1. Whisk together the pudding mix and the milk.
2. Working quickly, sift in the funfetti cake mix (coming from a girl who hates sifting– it’s worth it here) and whisk together.
3. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the cool whip. Incorporate completely.
4. (Normally, you can stop here, but I found the cake mix added some lumps that you don’t normally get, so you may find that you need to use an electric hand mixer to get those out)

Note: These photos are not mine, I don't have a camera, these are just pictures I found that resemble the recipe. These ones come from Chelsea's Shimmers and Glitters

Recipe Blog

So, I love looking at food blogs. And I've really wanted to start one of my own. I know that my blog will never really attract readers because we've made it hidden, but this is kind of just so that I can post things, and then when I'm older and I do a real blog, I'll be able to say "Ha! I had that idea first! I posted it over at my old blog from when I was a kid!" I don't have a camera anymore :(  , but I'd still like to do this, using other random pictures from other people that slightly resemble food I've made. And who knows, maybe I'll actually do a photo shoot and upload some of my photos. Anyways, here's a picture to leave you drooling

The Scar

You know how if you break your leg or something everyone asks you how it happened until you feel like if one more person asks you that question you want to rip off their head? Well. I am going to explain all about how I got my lovely scar to you. That way you won't have to ask!
Girl Gets Attacked by Rabid Dog:
Act 1 Scene 1
Enter Mom. Rebecca is sitting at kitchen table eating grapes.
Mom: Oh no! The blueberries in our Krusteaz Blueberry Muffin Mix have gone rancid! How am I going to feed you!
Mom begins sobbing uncontrollably. This is probably because of the crazed emotions she has when she is 8 months pregnant.
Mom: Rebecca, you'll have to go blueberry picking in our backyard.
Rebecca: Why can't I just eat grapes for breakfast?
Mom: Put on your coat and go get some.
Rebecca sighs and gets up and puts on her coat and santa hat that she got from the dollar store.

Act 2 Scene 1
Rebecca is walking through the forest (aka backyard) while singing the song Hairbrush, from Veggie Tales Silly Songs with Larry
Rebecca: "Take care, of my hairbrush. Take care of my hairbrush. Take care, take care, take care, take care, take ca-a-a-a-a-a-re of my hairbrush!"
There is a brown scruffy dog foaming at the mouth in front of Rebecca. Dog lunges.
Rebecca: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THERESARABIDDOGWHATAMIGONNADOOOO!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUAIYAYAYAYA
NONONONONONONONONONONONO! (aka, aaaa there's a rabid dog what am i going to do aiy iy iy aaaa, no no no no, spread out and yelled really loud)
Dog tackles Rebecca. Rebecca's arms are not pinned down and are flailing around wildly.
Rebecca: AAAAA! Heeelp! Someone help me! Mom! Rabid Dog!ggrpmmmfffr
Dog muffles Rebecca's mouth. (probably is sick of hearing her scream nonsense) Dog bites Rebecca .
Rebecca: OW OW AAAAA! JUST BIT ME!
Dog gets tired of hearing Rebecca screaming and runs off.
Act 2 Scene 2
Rebecca runs home without blueberries. Blood is trickling down her face.
Rebecca: Mom! Look what happened to me!
Mom: Oh sweetie what happened?
Mom comes forward and embraces Rebecca. Rebecca starts crying. Emily is staring at them like they are the weirdest people in the world.
Rebecca: I got attacked by a rabid dog! And I didn't bring home blueberries.
THE END

And then my scar got really swelled up. Can you see the little faint white line surrounding the scratch? That's the hive.
