Let's get in the mood with the most amazing pumpkin thing ever, other than a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. I have made this recipe specifically, so many times, it's in my head forever. Ok, so this is the ingredient that will be a little harder to find, Dark brown sugar. It is literally all  the difference  when you want a perfect muffin. Follow a recipe for pumpkin spice that you love, and switch standard brown sugar for DARK brown sugar.
Ok, so now time for the "review" part of the blog. 10/10. So good, best fall treat ever! ]]> 2021-10-20 15:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1830792776 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1830967715 I am obsessed with this Starbucks drink, cause it has no caffeine  in it, but is so good. Your probably thinking, "just buy the drink from starbucks." I'm thinking, "Its so freaking expensive!!!" So, yes Starbucks is good, but it will blow out my mom's bank account. Ok, anyway, I really love this drink, and had time to kill on a Saturday morning. So basically, I came up with this very simple recipe to substitute when I have already gone over my weekly limit of 1-2 a week. Take some vanilla extract, heavy whipping cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and if your bougie, you might have vanilla syrup. So just use that. Ok, put all this in a blender and blend it for a bit, then pour it out into a microwave safe container. Then heat for 1 minute. Then, after all that, your done so just add some whipped cream on top, and enjoy.]]> 2021-10-20 16:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1830967715 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831294719 This is a condiment that is rare, so definitely underrated. But it's so good and so ridiculously easy to make. Seriously. Ok, if you have not figured it out yet, the ingredients are in the name. All you need is butter(not salted) and honey. That's it! Unless you want to be extra. If so, just add rosemary for scent and a savory tint. So melt the butter, add the honey and maybe
rosemary, then freeze for 30 minutes or so. Then spread on cornbread or toast. Yum!]]> 2021-10-20 18:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831294719 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831374311 Ok, there are like, millions of ways to make pancakes. Really. I can name 5 recipes of the top of my head. But, the one I am going to write about today, is a classic. It's just a plain recipe that is more like a base. So you can tailor it to your custom  taste.  Ok, so use flour,eggs,baking soda,baking powder,vanilla extract,salt,sugar,milk and butter. Now, I'm going to be honest, I don't remember the  exact order to mix the ingredients or the  amount... But just remember, dry, then wet, ingredients.Then mix in your ad-ins, or be basic and leave them plain. After that put the mix on the pan and cook till golden brown. Then I usually add syrup or butter, but if you want, add whipped cream.]]> 2021-10-20 18:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831374311 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831654281 This drink is perfect for summer! It is made for relaxing by the pool, or lounging at the beach. It takes about 15 minutes to make a pitcher full of this fruity drink. All you need is lemons, strawberries, sugar or honey, water and ice. First squeeze the lemons and juice the strawberries. (leave some strawberries whole so you can see them in the pitcher) Then add 1-3 tablespoons to some water, and add the lemon juice and the strawberry juice. Or replace sugar with honey. Add ice and your refreshing drink is done.]]> 2021-10-20 21:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831654281 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831853185 2021-10-20 23:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831853185 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831883184 Cinnamon rolls are literally worth living for. I sound crazy, but these will make Cinnabon jealous. Ok, so really, making cinnamon rolls sounds hard, but it's just a matter of the way you make them. Usually I just buy the premade dough, and make my own icing. If you choose to do this, then here is the recipe for my icing. Take powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract and blend  in a bowl. Like most of my recipes, I usually "eyeball it", but looking up the exact measurements is not too hard. Heat the icing mixture, and spread on cinnamon roll. Now, if you want to be extra, make your own dough. There are some really great recipes out there, but sadly, this is not one of them. But, I will try to make my own dough in the future! I recommend eating with fruit and a tall glass of orange juice.]]> 2021-10-20 23:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831883184 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831922599 I am always looking for more flavor and moisture in salad. But the dressing I have never seems to taste fresh or complimentary to the type of salad I that I am eating. So, I took some time in the kitchen and came up with the easiest salad dressing ever, that is quick and also delicious! Take lemon juice, oil, rosemary and basil, and wip in a small bowl with a whisk until frothy, then pour over a fresh salad. The result is a bright, tart taste that will satisfy any picky eater.]]> 2021-10-21 00:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1831922599 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1832070934 Cornbread is a classic and is said to have been around about 7,000 years. Cornbread is the center of wholesome family living, and can tie a meal together. This is a traditional recipe that compliments lots of different styles of food, and traditionally used in BBQ. Ok, so here is my interpretation of betty crocker's fantastic recipe for "drop dead cornbread." Use butter-1/4, egg-1, milk-1 cup, cornmeal-1 1/4            flour-1 cup, sugar-1/3, honey-4 tbsp, baking powder- 1 tbsp, salt-1/2 tbsp. Then mix all of this in a bowl, and bake for 20/25 minutes at 400 degrees. Then add some of my special honey butter. (Find in earlier post.) Then eat till your heart's content.]]> 2021-10-21 01:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1832070934 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1832100966 I always crave easy and quick desserts, and if your like me, you do to! This is the fastest dessert ever, and is also so good! Chop up strawberries and put them in a bowl. Next be fast and add some Reddi-wip or some other spray whipped cream to the bowl too. Or be bougie and make your own like this. Whip powdered sugar, vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream in a bowl with a hand mixer for about 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Then add to bowl. After adding cream, add mint or a blueberry on top to add some flair, then serve. Yum!]]> 2021-10-21 01:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1832100966 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833186109 After carving pumpkins, I always have hundreds of these tiny seeds, and I always throw them away. But this year, try something different, and eat them instead! Here's a fun healthy recipe for Toasted pumpkin seeds! After carving a pumpkin, take  the seeds  and clean them under warm water. Next dry the seeds and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Cover the seeds lightly in butter, or oil. After that, you have a decision to make. Are you going to make savory seeds, or sweet? For savory, mix together salt and cayenne pepper, And for sweet, mix vanilla extract, nutmeg and sugar. Then bake for 10 minutes at 300 degrees. Enjoy this treat with friends or family, or just eat them all yourself!]]> 2021-10-21 11:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833186109 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833350264 This bright, easy and tart treat will remind you of summer even in the colder months. The kitchen will get a little sticky, but it's worth it once you taste this delectable candy. First cut the lemon wedges and cover with a light layer of sugar. You can cover the lemons with some premade lemonade as well, so they freeze better. Then freeze for 20 minutes. Then enjoy in a drink like an ice cube, or just eat it like a sour candy.]]> 2021-10-21 12:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833350264 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833904579 I like plain vanilla, and adding sauce on top is easy, but let's be sassy and make this Salted caramel milkshake. Frist get out a blender and put 3-5 big scoops of vanilla ice cream in. Then add 3-4 tbsp of caramel sauce in as well. Next add vanilla extract as needed, you can use powdered sugar if you like, about 2-3 tbsp. Blend lightly, and pour into a nice cup. Next add whipped cream on top, homemade or from a can. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt on top. Then sip on this delicious drink in delight!]]> 2021-10-21 15:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1833904579 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834638530 Everybody these days eats the cold applesauce found prepackaged at stores, but there used to be a better way to eat this classic snack. Take normal store bought applesauce, and add 1 tbsp. of cinnamon to the applesauce and mix. Then heat in the microwave/stove for 3-4 minutes. Then serve with graham crackers and granny-smith apples!]]> 2021-10-21 20:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834638530 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834687292 Feeling sad in the cold months? Me too! So here's a custom recipe that will perk you right up! Take chopped up fruit, I recommend strawberries or watermelon, and put them on a fruit skewer. Or to make mini versions, put them on toothpicks. Next cut up small chunks of coconut for a subtle sweet taste. Then cut up small pieces of cucumber and add them to the skewer/toothpick as well. Put mint leaves in between the fruit and cucumbers to add more flavors, then freeze for 20-30 minutes. Then enjoy with a large glass of lemonade.]]> 2021-10-21 20:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834687292 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834813047 The aroma of syrup is starting a cavity just thinking about the sugary sweetness of homemade french toast. This is a dish I'm positive y'all have made before, but this recipe will blow yours right out of the water! First make an egg mixture of 4 eggs, 2/3 cup milk, 1/4 flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then mix in a bowl, and dip a slice of bread into the mixture. I prefere french bread, or brioche. Then once you have soaked the bread in the mixture, put it on a pan at medium heat. Take your french toast of the pan, once it has turned golden-brown. Serve with syrup, powdered sugar and strawberries.]]> 2021-10-21 22:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834813047 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834831565 Summer flavors galore, in this tropical drink! This fruity drink is all you need to relax and kick back on a hot summer day. 
First, take 30 big watermelon chunks and blend them in the blender for 10 seconds. Then add 1/4 cup of lime juice and blend again for 5 seconds. Next add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and blend for 5 seconds. After that add 1-2 cups of ice, blend and pour into a tall glass, and relax with this icy drink!]]> 2021-10-21 22:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1834831565 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1836203185 This recipe requires a  ingredient that is very unique. That ingredient is called maple sugar. Maple sugar is just maple syrup that has been cooked longer, and with added items of course. To get started, use regular oats- 1 cup, and water- 1/2 cup. Mix together with 1/4 cup maple sugar. Then microwave for 1-2 minutes. Serve with berries or raisins.

It's so easy when you think about it, all I did , and all you have to do, is make a batch of lemonade. Yep, that's it! Well other than replacing the water in the lemonade with sparkling water. Add extra sugar, and freeze for at least 12 hours. For best results, defrost and mix before eating. ]]> 2021-11-03 22:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1865914352 literally_ellie https://padlet.com/literally_ellie/mofzw0x5wos1cbqp/wish/1882555101 This is a warm, comforting recipe, AND it's super easy to make! So let's stop talking, and start cooking! Ok, so all you need is apple juice, cranberry juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon! All you need to do is, add the two juices, cinnamon and brown sugar  into a pot, and heat the liquid for 10 minutes, boiling. Stir  through out the process. Then bring the mix to a simmer. After that, you are done, so feel free to host a  Christmas party, because now you have a beverage!

Add 2 table spoons of brown sugar in the pan, and turn the stove to the medium temperature. Then let cook till the the mixture turns golden, and make sure to keep stirring the caramel, or the sugar will burn.

Okay, if so, than you have heard of this food! TikTok is a great way to find recipes, and this one is delish! Okay, so first, toast some bread, and while the bread is toasting, start making some avocado spread, with Avocado, Salt, and Pepper! You can probably add some bacon bits, or a egg, but this s the classic way. Then, after the bread is  done, add the avocado spread, and enjoy!
