Bahn Mi Flatbread

If you've been reading my blog, you've noticed that I am obsessed with two things. Wings and any form of pizza. Lately I have been messing around with kimchi. I am curious how far I can take it. From tacos to pizza, so far this stuff is a delicious addition. Not sure how it would work with wings (probs wouldn't), but I think a bahn mi, kimchi burger is in my very near future. After the kimchi obsession leaves me, who knows what will take over next but I am excited to be exposed to some new and interesting foods out there!

Ingredients for Crock Pot:

• 2-3lb pork tenderloin
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce

Ingredients for Pizza:

• 1 thin crust pizza crust
• 1/4 cup kimchi
• 1/4 cup shredded carrot

I've been trying to get my head out of the snob idea that everything played on the radio is literal crap. The past two years have been me trying to accept Pop music for what it really is, Popular music played because it's enjoyable and nothing you have to really think about. Give me that catchy tune and that killer beat, and baby I'm yours. Thanks Charlie XCX

Directions:

1. For your meat, place your tenderloin into a slow cooker, and add the rest of the ingredients. Cook low for 7-8 hours or High 4-5.
2. When the meat is done. Remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with a fork.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Place meat on the pizza evenly, then add your carrot and kimchi.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is crispy.
6. Add your cucumber and drizzle the thousand island over the top. 
7. Cut and serve!

Flakey Mozzarella Sticks

There I am at eighteen, a freshman in college, confident about any academic hurdle my university wants to throw at me and it's dinner time. The grocery store is a block away and I have fifteen dollars in my purse, so I am off to get dinner. In my purchases I have chicken, broccoli and rice, all things my mother had made me on numerous occasions and then I realize, I have absolutely no idea how to cook any of it. Didn't you just have to say 'Dinner is ready!', and voila you'd have a hearty tasty meal to consume? Why didn't they teach me this in high school!? I don't think chicken is suppose to be pink!

The point to this is to combat anyone who tells me that they CAN'T cook. We all have to start somewhere and I was certainly not born a great cook. It was taught, over years of mistakes. Ups and downs. Come on and start!

Ingredients:

• cheese sticks (get some, like get some string cheese)
• crescent rolls (1 tin)
• Vegetable oil

It's comedy night here in our house, now laugh:

Directions:

1. Roll up your cheese sticks in the crescent rolls. (You might have to cut the cheese sticks in half, or they will explode which is cool but not if you want them to explode in your mouth).
2. Heat up about 2 inches of the oil in a fry pan. Not to boiling but simmering.
3. Place a few rolls at once in the hot oil, and fry for about 2 minutes on both sides, or until golden brown around the whole roll or it will still be doughy.
4. Set on a paper towel when finished to drain any extra oil.
5. Serve hot!
