Banana spring rolls !!
Hey guys Yum Yum's here again :). I think Nommie is slacking, hmmm what do you think?
Anyway as you can tell from the tittle of this post, its about banana spring rolls. They are super easy to make, and very very delicious!
this is all that you will need :)its very simple
Im also showing you here how to fold the wrap, so refer back to the pics ,if you are attempting to make these.
and its done :) make sure when your waiting to deep fry these you lay them on the side where the little flap is so it stays together. now to fry
This is when they were done frying. make sure you place them on paper towels , i used napkins and they kinda stuck to the napkins more. Making it a little harder to get them off the drying station.
And finally the finished product! I dressed them up with some caramel sauce and some powdered sugar, and they were super good!
~~Recipe~~
*Ripe bananas ( 1 banana makes 4 rolls)
*spring roll wrappers
*1/4 cup brown sugar
*oil for frying (canola or veg. oil is good)
*1/8 tsp 5 chinese spice
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
1) in a bowl mix the brown sugar, 5 chinese spice , and the cinnamon so its blended together
2) get another small bowl and put some water in it. ( this is for sealing the wraps, around the edges)
3) what you want to do now is peal the banana you have and cut once in half, than now you should have 2 halves. Now you want to take the half and cut that again in half but the long way this time. so you should have 4 pieces now.
4) take 1 piece of banana and place it on the wrap slightly tword a corner (its easier if you look at the pica above) mush banana a little bit with a fork and sprinkle a generous amount of the blend you made earlier ,over the banana. Begin to fold till it forms a wrap. (again look at pics above if you need help) **don't forget to use the water along the edges to make sure it seals.**
5) make sure you prepare all wraps before frying. fry only 2 at a time to make sure they brown evenly on all sides.
6) after done frying drain on a plate lined with paper towels and wait till cool enough to move to another plate. DONE! now you can add caramel sauce like i did or serve with ice cream. However you want you can do to it. Hope some of you try to make these, they are not a waste of time :)

Cookies Trio :)
Hey guys! Its Yum Yum's, I made some pretty awesome cookies this time around. So lets get into it.
These cookies were fun to make indeed. Although my idea of using a whisk wasnt very smart.
Since im so special, i wanted to make all my cookies interracial. :) this is before i added the cocoa powder of course
And this is after the cocoa. And now its time to get started.
This was after i baked them. It wasnt finished yet though. It was really easy to make them like this all you had to do was take a little from both the regular, and chocolate dough and press together than proceed to roll into a ball.
And this was the end product, They were very good. I decided to try this cookies with different kisses, and I made these (the better ones) with Hug's and I made some with Kisses that were Cookies and cream.
~~Recipe~~
*1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick),Softened
*1/2 cup shortening
*1 cup sugar
*1 egg
*1 Tsp. vanilla
*2 cups + 2 Tbsp. flour, divided
*1 Tsp. baking powder
*1/4 Tsp salt
*2 Tbsp. Hershey's Cocoa powder
*24 Hershey's HUGS unwrapped
Directions:
1) preheat oven to 350
2) Beat butter ,shortening,and sugar till smooth
than add the egg, and vanilla
3)add the 2 cups of flour , baking soda,and salt gradually to the butter mix.
4) Divide the dough into 2 parts. In one bowl add the remaining 2 Tbs of flour , and to the other add the other dough.
5) pinch together some regular and chocolate dough ( or you can make some with only one kind of dough if you like) and roll into balls and place on a non stick cookie sheet.
6) bake for 9-10 minutes than cool on a wire rack. Cool for 1 minute and than press a piece of the HUG'S in the center. than remove from rack and cool completely. and enjoy :)

Balsamic Vinegar & pepperoni pizza roll :)
So my friend says that I need to update even though she hasn't updated with her cookies that she just made. But I'll show you guys this really simple way to make rolls and yet make your guests/family think you're so talented :)
So basically you just take any type of dough (I prefer french bread dough... a little tougher to roll out for me, but it is worth it), roll it out (which is always a pain in the butt) but your ingredients in and then fold it up. I usually fold one side in, then fold the edges and then the other side so that it is sealed tight. Think of how you'd seal up a soft taco :)
Now go out htere an impress everyone!

I am one lazy bum. -Peanut Butter Cake
So I have all these pictures of things that were baked and I'm just such a lazy bum that I don't put them on the blog. I know, I know, for shame.
I don't have any clue what mixing whipping cream until stiff means because I sat there mixing it and it stayed as a liquid. It got a little hard on the top and then it just stunk again. I later got advice on it from my boyfriend's aunt, but I feel like I'm just going to go back to the other peanut butter frosting I used for the Banana cake and Chocolate Banana Cupcakes.
Pouring it actually made the marshmellows I put inside look really nice though. It was a huge monster cake and it was very yummy :D
The directions straight from Hershey's is:
1-2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips
1 tablespoon shortening(do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
1 package (about 18 oz.) regular white or yellow cake mix (not pudding-in-mix type)
PEANUT BUTTER WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING(recipe follows)
HERSHEY'S Syrup
Chocolate curls(optional)
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and wax paper-line two 8-or 9-inch round baking pans.
2. Place peanut butter chips and shortening in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1-1/2 minutes or until smooth when stirred. Prepare cake mix as directed on package; blend in melted chip mixture. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
4. Frost with PEANUT BUTTER WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING. Refrigerate until serving time. Serve with syrup drizzled over top and sides of cake. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Cover; refrigerate leftover cake. 10 to 12 servings.
PEANUT BUTTER WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
1-2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips
2/3 cup milk
3 cups miniature marshmallows2 cups
(1 pt.) cold whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir together peanut butter chips, milk and marshmallows in 2-quart saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips and marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth; cool to lukewarm. Beat whipping cream in small bowl with electric mixer until stiff; fold in vanilla and cooled peanut butter chip mixture. About 4 cups frosting.
Anyway it was recently my boyfriend's (Chris Redfield) mom's birthday and the day right before the birthday I was asked to bake a cake. As excited as I was about my first official request for a cake, it was also very hard because I had no idea what cake to make. She said "surprise me." So after a lot of debating it figured I'd make a Peanut Butter Cake.
So this is the first time I'm using two pans to make a double layer cake instead of jsut making this monstrosity and cutting it in half. the recipe for the cake part was pretty straightforward and simple. Then came the frosting.
I don't have any clue what mixing whipping cream until stiff means because I sat there mixing it and it stayed as a liquid. It got a little hard on the top and then it just stunk again. I later got advice on it from my boyfriend's aunt, but I feel like I'm just going to go back to the other peanut butter frosting I used for the Banana cake and Chocolate Banana Cupcakes.This is the layer between the two cakes. It looks really yummy. This is also right before I had the grand idea of just pouring the still kinda liquidy frosting all over the cake and just letting it get hard in the fridge. The fridge part worked but pouring it all over the cake only worked so much before I realized that there was too much and it was spilling all over the table. I am so glad no one was watching me.

Chicken Fingers and Onion Rings
Hey guys so I decided to make some delicious Chicken Fingers and Onion rings! the recipe for the onion rings came from bakebakebake and the recipe for the chicken fingers is from bisquick. Its very easy and simple and you'll never feel like going to a fast food place for them ever again!
Just make sure that you do not put too much oil in the pan with the onions because then their coating is more likely to come off... like mine. So just use your hand to spread it around.

No more buying,time for making!
Hey guys! I know its been sometime but its been a little busy on both Nommie and My side. But let me bring you guys up to speed. My birthday was July 30th. I am now 20! I feel so old :) but its cool. Anyway i decided to bake a cheesecake since I was going to celebrate a few peoples birthday's. So check it! 
Lets begin. I started out crushing the cookies,but that didnt work too well for me as you can see from the picture.The pieces are still too big for a crust. so I put them in a blender :) came out fine.
Well This picture is the crust done baking and out cooling. The recipe I had scribbled down was totally wrong with the amount of butter I needed to combine the cookie crumbs. I went along adding and seeing what I needed to change.
I totally forgot to mention i was making a marble cheesecake! So thats why there two bowls with the same stuff in it. (sorry i didn't take pictures as i was going in between steps. I wanted to make sure no air was getting in the batter for sitting too long)
This was the chocolate part of the cheesecake :)oops my phones there haha.
Well this is what it looks like after i put all the design and what not before the oven.
Needs a water bath! yup thats what this is here.
Well this is the finished product. After it being refrigerated over night. It was very yummy. One girl that ate it even said it was as good as bakery bough cheesecake. So if you want to save money on cheesecakes,this one is very good . You will not go wrong making this one.:D
~Recipe~
Marble cheesecake
Ingredients
*3 pkgs Cream cheese,softened at room temp.
*1 cup of sugar (divided in 4ths)
*1/2 cup sour cream
*2 tbs vanilla
*3 tbs flour
*3 eggs
*3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
*splash of milk
****Crust****
*I tube of Cats cookies (got from trader Joes but you can use oreos if you want)
*12 Tbs unsalted butter,melted
1/4 cup conf. sugar.
Directions-
1) Blend about 2 cups of cookies 1st and add to if not enough depending on what size formspring pan you have. Spray sides with pam or some sort of butter non stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 10 mins. Than take out of oven and set aside to cool.
2)Beat cream cheese till smooth. Add 1/4 cup of sugar at a time mixing for 30 seconds before adding the next amount of sugar. Than add sour cream and vanilla . Mix. Stir in flour. Than add eggs in one at a time, again mixing for 30 seconds before adding the next 1.
3)reserve about 2 cups of batter and set aside. In a small sauce pan melt the chocolate and add a splash of milk to get it sort of runny. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla too. Take off fire and let cool for 5 minutes. Add too the reserved batter and add 1/2 tsp of cocoa powder.
4)Now take the pan with the crust and pour the batter alternating from vanilla to chocolate batter. Than to make design take a tooth pick and be creative. Place pan in a bigger pan to make a water bath. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Than turn oven off and leave cheesecake in for 30 minutes. Take out and let cool till room temp and refrigerate over night. When you take the cake out it will still look undone but it will firm up in the refrigerator.
*******NOTE********
Don' take off the outter ring from the springform pan until you are ready to serve. so that means when you put it in your refrigerator leave it on.
Hope you enjoy if you decide to make this. =]

Brownies!
Here are some brownies made for my friend's birthday! What's great is we all went on a diet the same week as her birthday but I had already decided on this present for her. So, the diets didn't last for that one day.
that's where I got the brownie recipe. The recipe on the site is messed up though and you have to double it in order for the batter to fit the 9x13 pan.
1 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine,melted
2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts(optional)
---------------------------
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Add eggs; beat well with spoon. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
For my brownies I melted the vanilla candy melts that had the red and blue specks in it in order for it to look pretty :D

We took turns doing things as we went along in my kitchen. I did the dry stuff and she did the peanut butter goodness up above:) looks good already don't it?

Oh and you see here? the little candies look like M&M's don't they? well thats becase they were! Which for some reason my mom thought it be cool to not listen to me when i was telling her what i needed her to pick up from the store. I asked for Reese Peaces mini's but she ended up getting peanut better M&M's which worked fine too!
Working in motion :)
And finally finished! it over all was pretty good just you would need some milk or water to drink after or while because it was still pretty dry :(
