Hello everyone! I really appreciate the people who commented on my last post and one of the commenters suggested that I should show you how to make homemade chocolate today. So homemade chocolate it is! Today I am going to show you how to make chocolate in a simple, easy way. Chocolate is a snack that most people buy from stores. But why buy a box of chocolate when you can make it at home? Store bought chocolate has a lot of preservatives, so it is unhealthy. So today we are going to make preservative- free chocolate. The best part is, that it is delicious! So let's get started! You will need:
vegetable shortening
powdered milk (as weird as that might sound)
cocoa powder
icing sugar
salt
Let's get started! The steps are listed below.
Steps
Add all the powdered ingredients including the salt and icing sugar together (don't put in the shortening).
Melt the shortening until it is like water and add that to the mixture and stir thoroughly.
Line a baking tray with with wax paper/ parchment paper and pour the mixture onto the tray.
Place the chocolate into the fridge for two- three hours
Eat!
I hope everyone enjoyed this recipe. Remeber, the comments section is always open for advice, suggestions, or questions. Bye and keep coming for more mouth watering recipes!

Hello readers and a very happy Thanksgiving! Today we are going to make a very special and simple recipe that I had been saving for Thanksgiving day. Today we will make a very special Thanksgiving cake. This should be fairly easy because almost everybody knows how to make a cake, so I will basically be showing you some ways to decorate cakes tht relate to Thanksgiving. Today I will go over two designs that are super easy and fun to decorate. The nice thing is that I will be showing you how to decorte a square and round cake. This is a recipe that your family is bound to love. So let's get started!
For a round cake you will need:
a baked cake (try to have it covered with white fondant)
orange, green, brown, and pink frosting
a fine and thick nozzle to put on your frosting bag
Let's get started! Put on the thin nozzle on the brown frosting and make small swirls at the top of the cake (on the edge). Then place a thick nozzle on the orange icing and squirt large drops of frosting out. Leave a space between each drop. Take your green icing and put on the thick nozzle. Do the same thing as you did with the orange frosting, except place the dots where therer are spaces and don't leave a gap. Place a fine nozzle on the pink frosting and in the middle of the cake, write "Happy Thanksgiving". Lastly, relish with your family!
For a square cake you will need:
a baked cake covered with white frosting/ fondant
brown frosting
orange frosting
a fine, thick, and medium sized nozzle
Let's get started. Leave one fourth of the cake empty. Then, On the edge, take your thick nozzle and squirt little drops of orange icing on the edges (do not leave gaps). Take your brown frosting and avoiding the empty space, write "Happy Thanksgiving". Now starte working in the empty space. Use your slim nozzle and make an outline of a leaf in brown. Make a line vertically in the center of the leaf and and then, using your medium sized nozzle color in the leaf (do not color on top of the line). Take your slim nozzle and make small lines that attach to the center line. These lines should not be any longer than three quarters of an inch. Lastly, enjoy this sweet dish with your family!
I hop everyone enjoyed this post. Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello readers! Today I am going to share a few facts about Thanksgiving meals back then. This is a short, special post on Thanksgiving. What do you eat on Thanksgiving? Do you eat: Turkey? Potatoes? Pumpkin Pie? Cranberries? What if you had to eat venison? The pilgrims had to eat things like this and they had to eat their grown crops. Many people take their Thanksgiving meal for granted. If pilgrims didn't have the luxuries we do, what did they eat? Let's find out.
First on their list would be the deer that they hunted. Capturing a deer is a big achievement, especially without modern technology. Most deer are fast and their eyesight is sharp. So naturally, deer would a prized meal.
Second would be the cranberries and corn they grew. Are you surprised? Don't be! The cranberries they ate were much unlike the cranberries we eat today. They were not covered in the delicious sauce our cranberries are covered with. The pilgrims grew cranberries, wich they had to pick and eat ripe.
Thirdly, there was the grain. Since this feast was celebrated for the fact that the pilgrims had achieved a wonderful harvest season, the pilgrims and Indians feasted on grain.
Lastly there were the wildfowl. Wildfowl is any type of bird hunted by someone. In addition to the deer, wildfowl was the only thing there was for meat.
I hope everyone enjoyed these facts that I put up for Thanksgiving. If you have a fact to add, be sure to leave a comment! Once again, enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Hello everyone! Today we are going to make another Thanksgiving recipe. Someone commented on my last post informing me that they wanted to see how turkey cookies are made. So today's post is going to be a really simple one because these cookies require no effort and are fun to make with your family. These cookies can be taken to a party or eaten at home. The best part is that kids love these cookies and always want more. So let's get started!
You will need:
candy corn
Oreo cookies
brown and yellow icing
one chocolate candy (shaped as a ball)
Reeses chocolate (three fourths)
Let's get started! Separate your Oreo into two parts. Then, dip your candy corn into the brown frosting and line one of the creamy edges with five candy corn pieces. Take the other Oreo half and spread the brown frosting all over it and stick it on top of the other Oreo. Take one of your Resses pieces and smear the edges with the brown frosting. Take an Oreo and stick it to the bottom of the first Oreo.
Stick the Resees piece into the joint of the two Oreos. On top of the Reeses piece, stick the ball shaped candy, to make the turkey's head (use your brown frosting to stick everything). Cut the tip of a candy corn and stick it on to the head. Use the yellow icing to make the eyes and feet. Lastly, eat!
=This is how the cookies should look
I hope everyone enjoyed this recipe. If you try it out, be sure to leave a commment on how the cookies tasted! Please don't forget to leave a comment if you have any suggestions. I'm running out of ideas.....Bye!

Now, place the dough on a non- stick surface and flatten it out. Cover three fourths of the dough with butter.
Then, spread out the cinnamon, brown sugar, and sugar on the dough. Roll up the dough (NOT IN A BALL!!) from the long side. Cut the dough evenly (the way cinnamon rolls are shaped). Put the dough aside for about 30 minutes (if you don't get what to do, there will be a visual or you can just leave a comment). Now, just place them in the oven for another 30 minutes. While the cinnamon rolls are in the oven, make the icing. Combine powdered sugar and the half and half. As soon as your cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, ice them! Lastly, eat!
