This is how I wanna Go...

These bad boys were inspired by my Aunt Keema. I remember when I was younger she would make all of my cousins and myself, brownies and cookies. But occasionally her and my grandmother, Mam, would get some cinnamon rolls going. My cousins Toddy and Malika would "help" make them but in reality, we were just there to eat the scraps and be first in line for the finished product lol! Anyway, I was sitting in my dorm talking with Brendan and I started to miss home. I was going to go out and buy some cinnamon rolls, but it was late, and I'm much too lazy for that. I got up all the ingredients and threw together some yummy buns. These things are so good, but so bad for you. Definitely a once-in-a-while dessert. What are some sinfully delicious goodies you guys like?

I Tried...

So one night, I tried to be nice to my little sister for a change. I made us some good healthy food. This is oven fried chicken, homemade mash, and broccoli pasta. I thought that this dish was the BOMB! But my butthole little sister Karima tasted it and said that it's "Ard" and that I could have put some more garlic in it. Lol I gotta love her, because I would have dissed her food too! All I'm sayin is that it had to be good, because she finished the entire plate before I could finish mine haha. Who's your biggest "fan"?

Being Cheap... Again

I learned this recipe a few years ago. I had just gotten my first cool cell phone and my parents wanted me to pay the bill myself. So I tried to get a job, but what company would hire an inexperienced 15 year old? I also loved funnel cakes and carnival time. But the cakes that were sold at this events were always way over priced! I looked around online and found out that it cost about 8 cents to make 1 funnel cake. I lost my mind! Funnel Cakes are made of everyday kitchen supplies. I whipped up a batch of these bad-boys and people couldn't stop buying them! I was charging half what the locals did so I was in higher demand. The kids on my street were throwing their moneyz at me. What's your favorite carnival food?

Chinese Donuts w/ Salted Chocolate

7/2012

So the story behind these little devils starts with a move to a new neighborhood. After my grandmother passed, everyone was in a sullen mood. So I knew that we needed some cheering up. I remembered that my cousins and I, would always scrap up a dollar to go to the local Asian restaurant to get a handful of the softest donuts. The ones we got in the past were deep-fried and rolled in sugar. I decided to add my own taste to them. (My taste is usually chocolate btw...) After i tasted a couple with only the swirl I realized that they were just sweet morsels not yummy deserts. So to balance out the extreme sweet, I added a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. It was like a trip down memory lane. The taste of sweet chocolate clouds. Definitely one of my favorite memories, and a comforting feeling to ease the soul. Are there any comfort food that you like to eat when you're down?
