Mac n Cheese for One!

 Hello! 

Today, in science class, our teacher decided that we should dissect worms. Now, that's unappetizing, so I'll shut up about that now (although it was completely true).

This recipe sprouted from me finding a box of spelt shells in my pantry. I, to be honest, find the spelt shells to not fit my taste! They're not exactly bad, just not my (tastebud's) style. I wanted to rid of them so that I can just get them over with, but didn't want a whole big bowl of leftovers. The best thing to do was to make it single serving!

The best part of this recipe, is that you don't have to make a sauce. I absolutely hate making cheese sauces for macaroni. I always find it to never be cheezy enough, or it makes the macaroni too loose, and I love thick foods.

 Ingredients:

•  2 oz shell pasta 
• 1/4-1/3 cup shredded cheddar
• 2 spoonfuls Greek yogurt (I added this because I want to get rid of a bit still left in my fridge, so it's optional)
• 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

1. Boil the pasta, about 10 minutes. 
2. Meanwhile, shred the cheese and pour in the milk and Greek yogurt (if using)
3. Rinse and drain the pasta. Return to the pot, and add in your cheese-milk mixture. Stir it around and let melt.
4. Take out a ramekin and spoon the pasta in. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes.

Makes 1 serving.

The color of the white in this shot...urgh...I needed to show the top of the ramekin though...

On another note...
My friends have noticed my love *cough*obsession*cough* for kpop. Oh well.

Do you have an obsession love for anything?

GF Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Yesterday, I went with two of my friends to see the (over-hyped?) movie called The Hunger Games. I never read the books, and didn't know much about it except for some snippets on Tumblr and my friends talking about it at the lunch table during school. The movie was good, but the sad parts didn't touch me to the point of crying.
My friend (who has a cackle-like laugh) kept laughing, which resulted in my other friend laughing, ended up with me saying I didn't know who they were, and finally, the woman in front of us got so annoyed, that she turned around and told us "shhhhhhhh!". I felt guilty afterwards, though, and wanted to apologize sincerely...but she left right when it got over.

These cookies are soft, gluten free (if you make them gluten free), and could possibly be made vegan!
I said I made a long list of foods to make, and I forgot all about it until yesterday night!
Lately, the baking slump has hit me (for the past 3 weeks) and have had no idea what to make, so my list will surely be a great help!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp oat flour (blend oats in a blender/food processor then measure)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1-1/2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 tsp molasses
• 1 egg 
• 1/4 cup chocolate chunks, or 10 chocolate Kisses (more or less, depending on your preference)

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and brown sugar.
2. Add in the egg and molasses and combine.
3. Sift in the oat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix.
4. Chop up the chocolate Kisses and add them to your mix.
5. Bake at 350 for about 7-10 minutes

Notes:

• This recipe makes an extremely small amount. Each of my cookies consisted of around 2 tbsp dough and the recipe gave me 5 baked cookies :]

To make vegan:

• Use a flax egg. While I haven't tried this yet, I'm pretty sure it'll work as I've tried other recipes that uses a flax egg and has found no problem! 1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water, mixed together before doing anything else
• Use dairy free chocolate chunks.
• Use a vegan butter, such as Earth Balance.

To make gluten-free:

• Make sure your oats are certified gluten free
• Make sure all your other ingredients are gluten free, like the chocolate, baking soda, etc. as you can never be sure!

In other news...
Viewing this on an iPad looks better :D
I think...

Because I don't have an editing program (anymore) I decided to use Snapseed on my dad's iPad.
Turns out, it's also a desktop program! It's probably not as powerful as Adobe Photoshop, but it's only $19.99 and it can edit stuff.

Anyways, see you next post ^^ hopefully in the same week as this post!

I'm tired...yet I slept for about 9 hrs last night (1:30am-10:50am) wahh~ well at least that means I can fall asleep easier tonight. Maybe.
