National Chocolate Day!!!

Well the day is almost passed for me….but here’s my weird/interesting/rare holiday of the month. July 7th is apparently National Chocolate Day!! (Now you can see why i picked this one.) 🥰😂

Alright who loves chocolate here?!?!?! I can NEVER get enough chocolate in my life!!!! What is your favorite chocolate candy bar?

A message from a Wrapper…

Yesterday my friend had a piece of candy and showed me what the wrapper said. I shook my head when I read it, it’s so true, yet so hard to believe.

Don’t feel like you aren’t worth it! Some one cares about you, and if no one on earth does, Jesus loves you And I love you!!

A lot of the time, especially these past few weeks, i’ve constantly been feeling like I should give up, that no one cares that i’m here. Then when i post i see all the comments come in and they make me realize that people do care and that I am here for some reason.

So when life is super rough, don’t give up, I know this is hard because i struggle with this fact a lot. my siblings are quite different from me and i often feel like they don’t accept me for who I am. I often feel like I have to do something to please my siblings, friends, and parents or else they won’t accept me ever. But I know that’s not right, I need be myself.

Be yourself!! Be who you were made to be and Don’t be ashamed of it. There are people who will like you and love the same things as you do! They just might come in a different time.

National Hydration Day!!!!

Today I decided to post something different and a bit random…

Soooo, drink plenty of water!!😂 (Yea I know that photo doesn’t show water.)

Jalapeño Poppers!!

Happy First day Of Summer!!! Today i’m going to share another delicious recipe! I hope you guys will try this!! It was soo worth it…although i will caution you to be careful with the oil…if it gets too hot it will splatter you…i got my forehead sprayed with boiling hot oil!! So fun!

Ingredients for making 8 Jalapeño Poppers:

• 1 jar Jalapeños
• one 8 oz. package Cream Cheese
• 1/2 All-purpose White Flour
• 1/2 Cornstarch
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cups ice water
• Frying oil

Directions:

Use a fryer or a pot of oil and heat it up to about 300 F. Just needs to stay around that temp.

In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a tiny bowl whisk the egg before adding to dry mixture. Mix thoroughly before adding the ice water. (By ice water, just make it super cold). mix until well blended.

Set aside and take the cream cheese out of the fridge. Cut it into 8 even squares. Poke a hole in the middle of each square just deep enough for a slice of Jalapeño to fit in. Put one slice of Jalapeño in each and seal the square by squishing the Cream cheese over the hole with the Jalapeño.

Set in fridge until oil is ready! One at a time drop the cream cheese squares into the Tempura batter. (That mixture you made first.) and drop into fryer carefully…not any higher then an inch from the air…it will splatter you if you aren’t careful. Let fry for about 1 1/2 minutes to 3 minutes…or until golden!!

Enjoy!! These are sooo amazing guys!!
