Blueberries

Raspberries

Banana

Orange Juice

Ice

Blender

Step 1:

Put 1/4 of a cup of strawberries, mangos, blueberries, raspberries, and half a banana into the blender.

Step 2:

Now, pour 3/4 of a cup of orange juice, and 1/2 a cup of milk into the blender.

Step 3:

Next, put a cup of ice into the blender, and blend on high until all the ingredients are blended together. (If you need more liquid, add 1/3 of a cup of milk.)

And thats it! Super easy, yummy, and tangy! Enjoy~

What you will need:

1 pan, big enough to fit a piece of bread

1 piece of bread

1 egg

Enough butter to coat the pan (This helps with toasting the bread)

Any type of cookie cutter (if you don't have one, you can always just cut a hole)

Spatula 

Step One: 

Take your cookie cutter (or knife) and make a hole in your piece of bread. Save the piece of bread that you cut out so you can use it to dip in the egg yolks later!

Step Two:

Heat the pan up so that when you coat it with the butter, it sizzles. Place the piece of bread on the pan, and when it browns, flip it over. I

Step Three:

Crack the egg over the hole (its okay if it flows over). Wait until the bottom is cooked and then flip it over so the other side gets cooked as well. This usually only takes a minute or two. Make sure you don't over cook the egg, or else it won't be as runny as it should be.

Step Four:

Place on a plate and enjoy!!!!

Hooligan Eats: A Classic Southern Pecan Pie

Two Hooligan Eats posts in one day? Our followers must be super lucky because first it's the fantastic ice cream sandwiches and now it's some damn good pecan pie.  Today I'm posting the recipe of my step-grandmother's favorite pecan pie recipes.  Now, I'm pretty much as northern as it gets from my pale complexion to my love of the cold - but this southern recipe is my breaking point.  Out o the 12 pecan pie recipes in her possession, my step-grandmother, a North Carolina native, says this is the best one she's ever had.  So, read on if you have a hankering for pie - it's super easy to make!

1 cup of light brown sugar

1/2 cup light Karo syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.  I suggest you put the butter and the pecans in last (in that order.) 

Unroll the pie crust and pour the inside the ingredients from the bowl

Let cool and then enjoy!

Recipe for the yummy chocolate chips cookies:

What you will need:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 and a half sticks of unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

*Also, try and get an electric mixer. It will make the process go much quicker. If you don't have one, you can always use a blender! I actually prefer using a blender because it really incorporates the sugars, eggs and butter*

What you will do with those ingredients:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if you use convection, it will be 375 degrees)

2.  In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.

3. In a larger bowl, combine the butter with both sugars and beat on medium speed with and electric mixer until light and fluffy (If you are using a blender, if many not be that fluffy.Do not fear! That is totally okay, just go with it). Next, add the salt, vanilla and eggs. Beat (or blend) until well mixed. 

*3a. If you used a blender, you are now going to pour the mixture into a larger bowl.

4. Add in the flour mixture a little at a time. Mix with a spoon until just combined.

5. Stir or fold in the chocolate chips

6. Drop round ballsof the dough, about 2-3 inches apart, on a baking sheet that has either been sprayed with a non-stick spray or parchment paper

7. Bake the cookies until they are golden, but still soft. This usually takes 8-10 minutes, depending on your oven. After, let the cookies cool for about 3 minutes and then take them off the baking sheet and put them either on a plate or any where that isn't hot.

NOTE: Before you start making the ice-cream sandwiches, the cookies must be completely cooled! After about 5 minutes of cooling, I like putting them in the freezer to speed up the process.

ICE CREAM PART!

What you will need:

Ice cream scooper

Ice cream (any flavor, I chose vanilla)

Topping such as: sprinkles, m&ms, chocolate chips, etc. (have fun! be creative!)

A bowl that is wider in diameter then your cookie

Plastic Wrap

1. Pour whatever toppings you want in a bowl

2. Take an ice cream scooper and dig into any type of ice cream you want 

3. Plop it down on one cookie

4. Take another cookie that is similar in size and smush the cookie making some of the ice cream hang of the side

5. Roll the cookie on it's side so that the edges of ice cream get coated in your topping mixture

6. Wrap your ice cream sandwich in the plastic wrap and put in the freezer to freeze up even more! I usually do and hour or so. (You don't have to do this step if you want to nom right after, nobody's judging)

(up close and personal. ooh details)

~~~See how easy that is! Trust me, it is totally worth it. I was able to make around 30 cookies, which equalled to 15 sandwiches. This is awesome because I was able to give some out to my friends, and still have enough to last me this week. Hooray! I hope you try this recipe out and enjoy it my loves! Peace, Love, and Noms to all.
