Made you look! :)
Ooooh, April Fool's.
Ha...
So today I thought I would celebrate a little bit of foolishness with some April Fool's recipes (thanks to Pinterest, of course!).
Today we had 'chocolate chip cookies' and 'grilled cheese.' You will soon see why I put those in 'quotes.'
Here's the link/pin for the 'Cookies.'
Here are the pictures from my attempt:

Here's the recipe I used:
April Fool's Cookies
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Make one box (2 servings) of instant mashed potatoes.
I was lazy and used instant potatoes. I bought the cheesy ones so they would have a more 'cookie' type of colour, but that didn't really work!
3. Open, drain, and rinse can of black beans.
4. Mix beans into potatoes.
5. Put on cookie sheet.
6. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until they look like cookies!
Verdict: they were okay. Actually, not bad - but when they got cold were soggy and gross.
And now for the 'grilled cheese.'
Here's the pin I used for inspiration: http://makingmemorieswithyourkids.blogspot.com/2011/03/two-more-april-foolds-day-fun-food.html
There are other cool ideas here, too - but I am not overly talented with fiddly food stuff.
So here are my pictures from the process:
 |
| The ingredients. |
 |
| Getting started. |
 |
| It was hard to put pound cake in the toaster, rather, it was hard to take it out. |
 |
| Tried the sandwich maker. Was better. |
 |
| Finished product: cute little sandwiches! |
Now here's the process I followed:
April Fool's Grilled Cheese
1. Cut pound cake into slices.
2. Add food colouring to frosting. I used whipped frosting and added red and yellow until it looked like Cheez Whiz.
3. Toast the pound cake. NOTE: My first two pieces worked okay in the regular toaster, but it falls apart so easily and got stuck in my toaster. For the rest, I used my sandwich maker-thingie. I think it worked well.
4. Enjoy! :)
Verdict: Well, I couldn't stop eating the broken pieces, and it looks pretty convincing, so I say - recommended!
