FOODIES

Welcome to FOODIES!

Why do adults get to have all the fun? All those newspaper reviews and food critics...what if us adolescents want to check out what's on our plates? So who's up for the FOODIES Challenge?

The FOODIES challenge was created by moi the very second I started this blog. (It is not, unfortunately, some nationwide sweep of kids submitting meals that I'm just trying to promote. It is most certainly not nationwide. I hope you didn't get your hopes up.) It's simple: Take a picture of your dinner (or lunch, or breakfast)--delicious or not--and upload it to the site. Then describe your meal a bit. Hopefully we'll all get delicious recipes and food ideas, plus we'll get to see what other people everywhere are eating! Here's a sample (I didn't actually eat this):

Black Bean Tacos with Vegetables

Meal: Dinner

Who made it: Me

Tastyness: 8/10

Healthyness: 9/10

Comments: These tacos were very good. Blah blah blah...

(try to include a recipe if you liked the meal)

Does your lack of adequate technology prevent you from posting pictures? That's okay. Just describe the meal in depth, or get a picture from Google.

So are you ready?

Sincerely,

MS. FOODIE

Russian Style Crepes

Meal: Breakfast

Who made it: Mom (I took these photos with my iPod)

Tastyness:10/10

Healthyness: 5/10

Comments: Just ate a few!

Ingredients:

2 cups of milk

4 eggs

4 1/2 tablespoons of sugar

6 tablespoons of canola oil

7 1/2 tablespoons of flour

1. Mix everything until the mixture is equal everywhere (the longer you mix the better; no chunks).

2. Take a VERY smooth, non-stick frying pan and pour in 1/2 teaspoon of canola oil (NOT part of the 6 tablespoons!) and spread across pan with paper towel, removing excess oil (DO NOT do this before each ledge of the mixture!!! only just this once!!!!!!).

3. Heat the frying pan to medium-high temp..

4. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.

5. Pour a ladle of the mixture into the pan and spread by tilting the pan (make sure to work quickly because the mixture stops spreading in a few seconds).

6. Fry until bottom side is golden-brown (about 1 minute) and flip it.

7. Fry this side for about 20 seconds and remove from frying pan.

8. Can be served plain, with maple syrup, nutella, honey, sugar, whatever you like!
