    Strawberry Milk! By Keira A.

    You will need Strawberries, milk, and sugar for the ingredients. The stuff you need to make it is

    a pot, spoon, bowl, something to smash the strawberries

    Steps:

    You will first have to cut six strawberries in half. You would then smash them to a jelly

    consistency. Once you are done with that add it to your pot, put ⅓ cup of sugar, or as much to

    your preference (⅓ is the best personally). Stir it around here and there and have it on high to

    medium heat. Bring it to a boil and let it sit for three minutes while still at the heat. Once it’s

    done take it off the heat and let it cool. Cut up more strawberries into cubes. Put the strawberry

    cubes in the cup then put the cool jelly in the cup and pour milk into the cup and mix it all

    together. There ya go some fresh strawberry milk! Enjoy!

    Acai/smoothie bowl by Jayda S.

    Ingredients: 1 banana, frozen berries, mangos, almond milk, granola, chia seeds

    Directions: (I do not use exact measurements, I mainly just eye it.) Make sure you have a

    blender! Fill your cup with 1 full cut up banana. I then use a bag of frozen mixed berries that has

    strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in it. Fill the cup a little more than halfway with this.

    Take a knife and mush everything down so you can put more fruit and so it is easier to blend.

    Next, take a couple pieces of mango and mush it down once more. Pour about ⅓ cup of almond

    milk. Blend. Finally, put it into a bowl and top it off with the granola, chia seeds, or whatever

    you want!

  • Crepes by Michael M.

    A recipe that I like to use is Crepes. They take a little bit of time for a thin French pancake that

    can be a breakfast or dessert. The filling that I love to do is a traditional French filling of slices of

    banana and Nutella. You do need two bowls one for the wet mix and the other is for the dry. The

    wet ingredients are milk, eggs, water, and melted butter and the dry ingredients are flour, and

    salt. Then mix the wet and dry ingredients together and stir till the batter is thin. Pour into the

    pan and wait a minute flip the crepe and wait when your crepe is ready put it onto a plate. And

    finally the ingredients are 2 eggs, ½ cup of flour, ¼ tsp of salt, ½ cup of milk, 1 tbsp of cold

    water and 1 tbsp of melted butter.

    taught me how to make it.

    All you are going to need is:

    Chicken breast,

    Salt,

    Pepper,

    Onion Powder

    Garlic Powder

    Three lemons.

    And an Oven.

    First you are going to want to put your chicken breast into a casserole dish. You are going to

    want to season them up with the Garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. You want to

    make sure that you do both sides. Then you are going to want to squeeze three lemons into a

    measuring cup or any cup. Then you are going to dump it into the dish but try not to get it on the

    chicken or you will knock the seasoning off. You are going to want to put it in the oven for 12

    minutes.

    3 tbs chopped cilantro

    2 tbs chopped green onions

    combine and then add cilantro, green onions, chicken, and pepper jack cheese.

    3. Wrap 3-4 tortillas at a time in damp paper towels and microwave for 20-30 seconds so they are soft and pliable. If you find your tortillas cracking when they are rolled, use

    damper paper towels and increase the microwave time.

  • Dinner: (Gluten-Free) Chicken Enchiladas by Alison P.

    Ingredients:

    8-10 tortillas (Corn or Flour)

    3 cups cooked chicken (shredded)

    3 cups of monetary Jack cheese ( shredded-divided)

    3 tablespoons unsalted butter

    3 tablespoons(Gluten-Free) Flour

    2 cups of chicken broth

    1 cup of sour cream

    1 (4-ounce can) Diced green chilies mild

    2-3 tablespoons green onions, sliced.

    Directions:

    1. Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    2. In a small bowl, combine chicken and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan

    3. Melt the butter in a skillet. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and

    whisk in broth. Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is

    bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don't skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you

    add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!) Add sour cream and chilies and stir until sauce

    is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.

    4. Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until enchiladas are heated through and sauce is bubbly. Turn on

    the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions and

    serve.

    Notes:

    Diced chiles: Our recipe calls for mild chilies. If your family likes spicy food, you can substitute

    hotter chilies instead. Another tasty option is fire-roasted chilies.

    Chicken: You can cook the chicken according to your favorite method, such as roasting or

    poaching the breasts. If you’re pressed for time, using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from your

    grocer is a great time-saving shortcut.

    Shredded cheese: It also helps keep the sauce white. If you have a different cheese on hand, or

    you have trouble finding Monterey Jack, feel free to substitute your favorite shredded cheese in

    this recipe.

    Sour cream: We strongly recommend using full-fat sour cream in white chicken enchiladas

    recipe. It’s an important factor in the richness of the sauce. Also, low-fat sour cream tends to

    separate and get runny when heated. You might end up with gloppy enchiladas.

    Green onions: Don’t have any green onions? A sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top will add a

    bright flavor, too.

    Tortillas: The recipe calls for using flour tortillas, but if you prefer, you can switch them with

    corn tortillas.

    Seasoning: Don’t need to add any salt or pepper to this recipe. The chicken broth used was very

    flavorful and had a lot of salt already in it. The chicken was also well seasoned and obviously,

    the cheese had a good amount of salt.

  • Dessert: (Gluten-Free) Mini Lava Cakes by Alison P.

    Ingredients:

    6 ounces of high quality, semi-sweet chocolate

    ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

    ¼ cup all-purpose Flour (Gluten-Free)

    ½ cup confectioners’ sugar

    ⅛ teaspoon salt

    2 large eggs

    2 large egg yolks

    Directions:

    1. Spray four 6 ounce ramekin with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder. This ensures the cakes will seamlessly come out of the ramekins when inverted onto a

    plate in step 7. *Or spray half of a 12-count muffin pan and dust with cocoa powder. If

    baking in a muffin pan, the recipe will yield 6 cakes.

    2. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) 3. Coarsely chop the chocolate. Place butter into a medium heat-proof bowl, then add

    chopped chocolate on top. Microwave on high in 10-second increments, stirring after

    each until completely smooth. Set aside.

    4. Whisk the flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt together in a small bowl. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until combined in another small bowl. Pour the flour mixture and

    eggs into the bowl of chocolate. Slowly stir everything together using a rubber spatula or

    wooden spoon. If there are any lumps, gently use your whisk to rid them. The batter will

    be slightly thick.

    5. Spoon chocolate batter evenly into each prepared ramekin or muffin cup. 6. Place ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes until the sides appear

    solid and firm– the tops will still look soft. *If baking in a muffin pan, the cakes only take

    about 8-10 minutes.

    7. Allow to cool for 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted plate and turn over. Use an oven mitt because those ramekins are hot! The cakes should release easily from the

    ramekin. *If you used a muffin pan, use a spoon to release the cakes from the pan and

    place each upside down on plates.

    8. Add toppings. Serve immediately. (optional for topping: ice cream, raspberries, and/or chocolate syrup)

    Notes: Make-Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can prepare the batter through step 4. Cover

    tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before continuing

    with step 5. You can freeze the baked lava cakes for up to 3 months. Allow them to cool

    completely before freezing. Re-heat in the microwave.

    Special Tools: Glass Mixing Bowls, Rainbow Whisk, Muffin Pan, Ramekins, and Baker’s

    Chocolate: Make sure to use high-quality chocolate, not chocolate chips. You won’t have much

    “lava” with chocolate chips! I suggest high-quality chocolate baking bars sold in the baking aisle

    such as Baker’s, Ghirardelli, Nestle, or Lindt. They’re all typically sold in 4-ounce bars, so you

    will need 1 and 1/2 bars total.

    Eggs: For this recipe, you need 2 whole eggs plus an addition 2 egg yolks. (Use the 2 extra egg

    whites in an omelet or in any of my recipes with egg whites.) After 10-14 minutes in an oven this

    hot, the eggs should be cooked to 160°F which is considered safe to eat. If you’re concerned, you

    can take the temperature to be sure!

  • Cream Puffs by Scarlett B.

    Ingredients:

    ½ cup water

    ¼ cup butter

    ⅛ teaspoon salt

    ½ cup flour

    2 eggs

    FILLING:

    1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

    1 tablespoon cold water

    2 tablespoons boiling water

    ½ cup sugar

    ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    1 cup heavy whipping cream

    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt and bring to a boil. Remove from

    heat and add flour all at once. Stir quickly with a spoon until dough forms a ball.

    3. Add one egg at a time, combining completely after each addition. The mixture will be very smooth and velvety.

    4. Either drop the dough by scant teaspoons or spoon dough into a pastry bag and pipe it directly onto an ungreased baking sheet. Teaspoons seem small but the pastry will puff

    up and still be bite-sized.

    5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from, oven allow to cool for a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    6. While the pastry is baking prepare the chocolate mousse. 7. When the mousse has chilled and the puffs have cooled, fill a decorating bag fitted with a

    large tip with the mousse.

    8. Gently insert the piping tip into the bottom of each pastry puff and squeeze filling into the puff, being careful not to overfill. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip the top in

    chocolate and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes about 40 bite-sized cream puffs.

    FILLING:

    1. In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water and allow to stand for about 1 minute. While the gelatin is softening, bring 2 tablespoons to boil in the microwave. Whisk into

    the softened gelatin and allow to cool.

    2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cream, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form. Mix in gelatin mixture until combined

    and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    press your dough down. Mine usually take about 15 minutes.
