A List of Recipes I Stole from Other People
1. Chocolate Chip Cookies
My favorite recipe for my all time favorite dessert is a very easy one to find-
It's on the back of the bag!
My variations- Don't cook them for more than 8 minutes, don't add the nuts, and add a little more salt then the recipe calls for.
2. Buffalo Chicken Dip
1 package of boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Franks Red Hot Bottle
2 Packages of Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Ranch Dressing
1 Package of Cheddar Cheese
To cook- Use Large Saute Pan
1. Boil chicken and shred once cooked fully
2. Melt cream cheese in pan (low heat)
3. Put in Frank's Red Hot and Ranch Dressing
4. Add shredded chicken and bring to slight bubble
5. Add shredded cheddar cheese
6. Enjoy with some scoops
My variations- I prefer blue cheese to ranch so I use that instead. I also use mexican cheese blend rather than cheddar. Additionally if I am not in a rush making this (or if I make it ahead of time) I place it in a pan and sprinkle cheese on top as well. Warm in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
Veggie variation- This can be made without the chicken (I tried it!). Use half as much of the Frank's Red Hot and Ranch/Blue cheese dressing. Add blue cheese crumbles instead. I recommend extra cheese in the dip/on top.
3. [Chicken] Broccoli and Ziti
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/07/easiest-pasta-and-broccoli-recipe.html
This recipe is great but a little bland-
My variations-
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts cubed
1/2 Onion diced
Oil based caesar salad dressing (NOT CREAMY)
Two lemons or lemon juice
Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Frozen broccoli
Pasta (I like ziti or bow ties)
Italian seasonings
1.Saute chicken till cooked in olive oil and place to the side.
2. Boil pasta and cook till al dante
3. In bowl mix 3/4 of a bottle of Caesar dressing with juice of two lemons (if you use lemon juice this is like 3:1 ratio dressing to lemon) and parmesan cheese. Add italian seasonings to taste. Whisk till blended.
4. Saute onion in a large saute pan with olive oil once slightly browning add chicken and pasta. Reduce heat to medium/low.
5. Pour frozen broccoli over the chicken and pasta.
6. Pour dressing/lemon/cheese combo over other ingredients and stir so evenly distributed.
7. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat till broccoli is cooked.
This meal is very quick to make and is YUM!
Veggie variation- The chicken is not the highlight of this meal by any means. Skip the chicken and just add a little olive oil to the saute pan before you put in the pasta. Maybe add some red peppers for color?
4. Black Bean and Corn Salad
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/black-bean-and-corn-salad-recipe/index.html
My variation- Rachel and I usually get along pretty well but when it comes to this recipe I think the only things she got right were the blacks beans, corn, and onions. Try this instead-
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1/2 red onion chopped
1 or 2 red peppers chopped
1/4 cup orange juice
1 TBSP lime juice
1 TBSP olive oil
1 fist full chopped cilantro
Pepper and salt
1. Chop onion and peppers and place in bowl.
2. Add cilantro, beans, and corn
3. In another bowl or in two cups (pour back and forth till blended) mix orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour dressing combo over salad.
6. Now you can absolutely eat this right away BUT if you let it kind of marinade into the veggies and beans for a day (make in the morning and eat at night?) this tastes even better!!
5. Blush Pasta
Ingredients:
1 box shells/ziti
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 small jar alfredo sauce
Italian seasonings
1. Boil pasta till al dante
2. Pour pasta into colander
3. In pan mix diced tomatoes, italian seasonings and alfredo sauce then pour back in pasta
4. Transfer to casserole dish and bake for 15 minutes on 350
My variation- This recipe is seriously yum!!! It is a little heavy though on the calories (alfredo ugh) so if you swap in the light alfredo sauce (easy to find at the grocery store) and whole wheat or omega-3 pasta. The great news is that the sauce coats the pasta so even if you are cooking for a picky eater who "doesn't like whole wheat pasta" they probably won't even notice that you went for this option. ...But lets be real I still put parmesan cheese on top of the pasta and had a bread stick with it.

A Lockwood and Evans Inspired List
E.E. Cummings was quoted saying “it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
I agree.
When I was 2 years old I followed the family German shepherd, Raksha, out the back door.
We made it 4 blocks before my father realized what happened.
(My mum was out grocery shopping.)
I used to check my closet for Narnia.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were my closest friends in elementary school.
I did not understand what it meant to say “I love you” until I said it the second time.
I cried a lot as an adolescent.
I believe half of being successful is who you know-
the other half is comprised of common sense and book smarts in varying degrees.
I think baseball is romantic.
I am vain about my hair.
The Google ad (which pictures a montage of a father and daughter communicating using Google products during the daughters first year at college) made me tear up.
My mum is consistently late.
It drives me insane.
Griping about my mum makes me feel guilty.
My father taught me to never put anything in writing I might regret-
I have saved all his emails so I will never forget.
Adults and children alike compare my sisters and me to real-life Cinderellas.
Our stepmother is the reincarnation of the White Witch.
I am afraid of my boyfriend getting bored with me, the dark, and bees.
I once locked myself in my fathers Saab convertible for over an hour
because my father believed a lie my stepmother told.
My stepdad and I were kindred spirits.
There is nothing worse than a lie.
The words moist, supple and succulent make me cringe-
I just cringed having to type out those words.
If I don’t keep my nails painted, I bite them.
There was a time when I couldn’t find my way out of a paper bag,
but now I find myself trying to organize and control too much.
I feel a dysfunctional sense of responsibility to mediate my family’s problems with each other.
I love brussel sprouts.
My father makes life look easy.
My mum makes it look hard.
I don’t think it’s either.
C.H.

A list of annoying Facebook friends
1. The Political One - This guy uses his Facebook purely as a political platform. He got on his soap box and will not get off. Even if you're politically aligned with the guy, you are annoyed and sometimes even offended. His complete lack of rationality or recognition of any semi-legitimate argument from across the aisle just makes this Facebook friend seem like a radical crazy.
2. The Wanna-Be Playboy Bunny - Girl has daddy issues. Or lost 80 pounds during the summer between high school and college. Whatever the psychological excuse, I do not need to see glamour shots of you washing a car in Daisy Dukes and a-size-too-small bikini top. Good luck with your bar tending career, though.
3. The Emotional Drama Queen - I am truly sorry that your Aunt Sarah who you met twice died. I am also sorry that your boyfriend is now sleeping with someone new. I know men suck and friends can sometimes let you down and life can sometimes seem too difficult to bear, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP REMINDING ME every 5 seconds!
4. The (Sometimes International) Partier - This Facebook friend does not have a single profile picture the doesn't feature either alcohol or a promo girl at his side. And then, when you finally venture further than the insane tagged pictures in Aruba (complete with body shots), you see that this person is in medical school. And then you fear for your life and that of future generations. What is the world coming to?
5. (YOUNG) Women Pregnant with Their First Child - 36 Weeks! OMG! CaN u BeliEve iT!? This Facebook friend explains so much about everything that's wrong with everyone I've ever met.
6. Girls that Just got Engaged - Oh dear God. You're in love, you're getting married, you're planning a wedding. We get it. I do not need to see 500 pictures of your ring from every angle possible. I don't need to know when you found your dress and how many hours it is until you get to marry your best friend. I'M NOT EVEN INVITED, and, even worse, I'M COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY SINGLE AND GETTING OLDER EVERY DAY so stop rubbing it in my face. Jealousy totally aside, engaged is the new black, and you're making a huge mistake! You're only 22! You're fiance is not cute! You've halted all your former hopes and dreams to marry this kid. Marriage is supposed to be FOR-EV-ER. You're going to be having babies in a year...are you really ready for that kind of commitment? Because you definitely were not when I accepted your friend request. K, thx, bye.
7. Married Couples - Not only did I totally painstakingly critique and judge all of your wedding photos, but now I do not give a shit that today is your four year anniversary or that you have the most beautiful wife in the universe or that you miss your hubby. I just. Don't. OH - and my total favorite - the married couple with the SAME FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. Am I talking to Sally or Jimmy? I'm not sure because the Facebook account is SallyJimmy Watkins. What? Did you suddenly become Siamese twins? Because even Siamese twins have their own, individual BRAINS.
8. The Crude Facebook Friend - This guy cannot talk about anything that doesn't involve beer and titties, titties or beer. He is constantly posting "wall photos" of almost naked chicks and updating his status about sex. "I ordered 50 condoms at the pharmacy. When I heard two chicks giggling behind me, I said - 'Make that 52.'" OMG YOU'RE SO AWESOME AND HOTT, WHAT A BADASS. CAN I SLEEP WITH YOU!?! Really?! Is this guy for real!? No wonder this Facebook friend is single.

A List of Lines That Somebody Underlined in My Second Copy of The Perks of Being a Wallfower
..we were all supposed to think of reasons to live.
...I love especially now because my brother will be coming home soon...At least I hope he does for my mom.
...unconventionally beautiful.
Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not even realizing it because they don't involve a ball.
...the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
...all the people who make touchdowns and home runs will become somebody's dad.
"I don't think so. My mom would know..."
They stand twisted in bladder positions...
The things he said we just wouldn't understand because we are lucky.
There were only two people who weren't smiling. My grandfather and I.
I hope it's the kind of second side that he can listen to whenever he drives alone and feel like he belongs to something whenever he's sad.
I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica.
I went to the library when Patrick told me he was gay, and I did some research because I honestly didn't know mucha bout it.
And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.
...it was the first time in my life I ever felt like I looked "good."
I would go to my bedroom window and star at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours.
She lifted off the pillowcase, and there I was, standing in my old suit, looking at an old typewriter with a fresh ribbon.
On that piece of white paper, Same wrote, "Write about me sometime." And I typed something back to her, standing right there in her bedroom. I just typed. "I will." And I felt good that those were the first two words that I ever typed on my new old typewriter that Sam gave me.
"I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you. Okay?"
But for now, sledding is enough.
It was the way she said it that started me feeling.
I also called pizza crust "pizza bones."
...there was a time when these weren't memories.

The Scientific Impossibility of the Disney Movie: Pocahontas
Jumping into a stormy ocean and finding a man overboard in less than 20 seconds.
The geometry of faces and hair.
These fools.
This drop off a waterfall.
Everything about this tree.
Grandmother Willow has a British accent...John Smith has an American accent...
A hummingbird accomplishing or even surviving this multiple times.
Frisky leaves with sparkles.
Smoke from a fire doing any of this.
Not scientifically, but historically completely incorrect since Pocahontas didn't fall in love with John Smith she fell in love with John Rolfe.
