Pretending to be a Food Network Star

"A lot of food shows need only to tempt. Some food shows only need to inspire, to empower. And there are a lot of shows that do that. "~ Alton Brown


I recently received a request that I include videos of me in the kitchen so that whoever is reading this can follow- just like on TV! I figured I would give it a shot, just to see how it would turn out. Not too bad actually!

Some friends and I already had plans to bake last night for the Honors Humanities Relay for Life Team bake sale. What a perfect opportunity! So we set up the camera and started rolling. It was a little terrifying and quite awkward, but still fun. The only problem is that halfway through our baking adventure, we stopped filming. We only have pictures to document the finished products now, but please enjoy what film we have!



We made brownies (yummy), chocolate cookies (also yummy, though we did forget to set the timer, ad therefore burnt the first batch just a tad), and cinnamon sugar breasticks (yummiest just because they were an improvised creation.

To Make Cinnamon Sugar Breadsticks
1 cannister/ package of pre-made pizza crust, bread stick dough (Pillsbury)
sugar, cinnamon, any other spices you desire
cookie sheets
Roll out the dough and cut into strip of about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in width.
Fold strips in two.
Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Twist strips and lay on cookie dough. Make sure to leave space between the strips, especially if you are using the pizza crust (it tends to rise and expand).
Place in 350 degree oven for about 15-17 minutes.
Take out, let cool, enjoy!
