My sister and I made snickerdoodle cookies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! She requested the cookies to be red, her favorite color. She had reminded me after I mixed everything so I kept over mixing it to make it red. I could improve on my memory of putting the colors in before over mixing. The best success is that it tasted good. On the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, I had thought they weren’t cooked and put it in for an extra 5 minutes, heh, that burnt them. Apparently the cookies were just warm and perfect but I ruined them sort of. Luckily on the snickerdoodle cookies I learned that it was not under cooked but just warm and sticky. Oops 🤭 heheh.

I made pumpkin pie, my sister Molly helped with the filling. It was warm when I tasted it, also very soft. Every holiday me and my family would all get together for dinner, for dessert they’d always made pies, pumpkin pie and another random pie. Last time we all had dinner together as a whole family was about 2 years ago, but that’s for another story. The best part when we had our family gatherings for dinner, was playing ping pong with my older cousins, or aunts. There would be so many different foods, brussel sprouts to turkey and jelly, all sorts. I think most of us looked forwards to the food, it was always so amazing. But my favorite was the pumpkin pie, and that’s why I chose it for this project. A challenge was making the crust, it was difficult to spread it over the pie pan. I would say my greatest success here is the final product, it tasted like the pie we’d eat on holidays. I’m proud of making this and getting it done before dinner (which was fish and chips!).

I made this at like 21:00, and was very tried, I almost forgot to take a photo of it. Anyways, I was board and decided to make brownies after this extremely long day, like it has been more of a long, long week. It didn’t occur to me that I should have waited for it to cool down like the instructions said. Very melt-y and chocolaty, it didn’t taste as chocolaty in the morning, which I decided to give my sisters some, they have know idea there is still some left. Which I’ll eat after this. I doubled the recipe, but not the amount of chocolate chips… that would have been way to much. This filled in my free-time. It was good, glad I snatched a photo of these instructions at school during class time.

I made banana muffins with my youngest sister Molly, who insisted on having chocolate chips on top. It tasted great! The muffins were nice and moist. The banana we used was in our car for at least a week, and it was extremely hard to get it out of its peel, the other banana half we used was just ripe. Molly had done the mixing part (sort of) and retrieving things.

This was a good salad. My challenges were finding the right time to make this, it was a very long week. I made this on Saturday. It tasted like juice when I bit into it, because of how sweet the fruits were. But the food felt slimy, it had bananas to make that effect. My sisters and parents seemed to enjoy this salad. I do not enjoy salads very much, so I will likely not make anymore of this for me, but for other people i can make it.

I made cookies for my family! The cookies were great and my sisters loved them! My youngest sister Molly had claimed she helped make them, but she didn’t, she loves to pretend. Abby, my second oldest sister was very happy to make the cookies disappear. It was fun to make these cookies, even though I forgot to melt the butter. Oops. At least it didn’t affect them to much!
