Neopian Doughnuts

Hello!

Today I'm going to show you how I made some of the Neopian Doughnuts. I'm not going to put their description here because this was an exception recipe where I've made more than one food at a time. I mean, I used one recipe for doughnuts (very wrong decision in the choice of recipe I made) and decided to go for nine different doughnuts: lemon sprinkle, green, blue, pink, pink sprinkle, chocolate orange, purple, sugar and rainbow.

Side notes: for the pink sprinkle doughnut I used the same pink doughnut; the recipe I used was so wrong for this because it came out as a very sticky dough, which is not supposed to happen, AND this recipe is for filled doughnuts and not doughnuts with a hole, I guess that's why the doughnuts turned out really greasy and weird; and last but not least I don't know who was the genius that decided to fry doughnuts at such a high temperature. I studied a bit more after making this video for you and I came across the perfect doughnut recipe with the right temperature to fry them. Unfortunately I don't feel like making this again soon (mainly because I'm lazy when it comes to making the different glazes, sorry 😅) but if I ever do, I know what recipe to use now... maybe I should make an upgrade on my recipes...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:

⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(

⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Doughnuts - ⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I rated the Chocolate Orange Doughnut with three stars because I'm not fond of dark chocolate and I felt like it overpowered the doughnut a lot. The others receive a four stars rating because, despite the greasy dough, they were quite enjoyable. I must confess that the Lemon Sprinkle Doughnut was my favourite but that crappy dough didn't let it make to the five stars :P

Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll

 Hello!

First of all I'm sorry for taking such a long break from Halloween until now. Life has been busy, that's all ^_^

I must confess that I haven't had the time I wished to cook more neopian foods and Christmas is a really busy time of the year for me. Plus, it's been almost a year since I lost my Tchipi (one of my cats) and it's all coming back to memory, which leaves me very sad and with zero disposition to whatever it may be. I also got my youngest cat neutered last Thursday and she's a pain during the healing process. You know, they're not supposed to jump nor run but she doesn't care at all!!! Thankfully she's a dream when it comes to give her medication. And on top of this, it's my sister's birthday tomorrow, my father's birthday on the 26th, my birthday on the 7th of December and I am always quite busy planning the cakes :D

Now, I know this is mostly a hot weather food (I actually recorded this during Summer) but I haven't been cooking any neopian foods lately and I just happened to have this video already edited and ready to go so, here you have the Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll - Fruit, veggies, and rice all wrapped in seaweed. Yummy!

Nothing very fancy, just a vegetarian twist on your classic temaki roll.

I must say I was not very fond of this, most likely because of some of my choices (or maybe just because the combination of ingredients was not the happiest one). But I am an avid fan of temakis :) specially salmon ones ^_^

Please, enjoy!

Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll - ⭐⭐ - Two stars for this food. If the blue part of the roll was chokato, maybe this would have been better but, as you may imagine, I don't have chokato so I used blueberries. Frozen blueberries! What a mistake! I know they are always so tart!!! Anyway, this was really not my favorite thing in the world so that's why it's got two stars.

Halloween - Spooky Food - White Chocolate Ghosts

Hello!

Happy Halloween 🎃👻

The last spooky food of this year is the White Chocolate Ghosts - Now you can have your revenge on those troublesome little ghosts that are always stealing your Neopoints! I know it's a very simple one but honestly it was all I had time for (and even more honestly, if you know how temperamental chocolate is (and white chocolate shouldn't even be called chocolate) you would never call this simple 😅).

And I am also here writing this post on the run because I have a few guests in my house to celebrate Halloween (don't worry, safety measures are being held) and I have to go back there :P

There is nothing much to say about these guys, they are just plain white chocolate with candy eyes (in this case, sour skittles), but... they sure look fun on any Halloween table out there :D

Enjoy and, once again, happy Halloween!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

White Chocolate Ghosts -  ⭐⭐⭐ - Three stars for these fellows because this is nothing more or less than white chocolate and I'm not the bigest fan of white chocolate. I eat it but it's not really my cup a' tea.

Halloween - Hot Apple Cider

Hello!
Today I decided to make a drink to go with the spooky food. I know this is not a spooky food but it is a hot drink that is commonly served during this time of year. What else could it be? Hot Apple Cider - A soothing sweet cider made of fresh apples.
You might think it's strange but I really had a good time preparing and making this drink. I'm not usually into drink making (although I did have practical subjects on this) but maybe it was the fact that it was made on the stove top that made me really enjoy it :)

I have never made apple cider before so I have absolutely no idea what it's supposed to taste like but, if it tastes like this, it is practically just like drinking a slice of the most delicious apple pie ^_^

Now, I must confess I am not very fond of hot drinks, only when I'm cold (or if I need my sinusitis headaches to get better, I don't really have a choice on this one -_-), so although this is a very comforting and cozy Fall/Winter drink, I had to chill it overnight so I could have it really cold the next day to enjoy it to the fullest :D

Some details I would like to point out (according to my taste, of course): this would have been probably better if I had used a mix of Royal Gala apples and Granny Smiths. It could also have more orange and lemon juice in it and, considering how sweet it was, maybe the sugar should be adjusted or even left out. So this is my take on Hot Apple Cider. Enjoy!

⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(

⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Hot Apple Cider - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Four stars for this amazing, heartwarming and comforting drink. This tastes exactly like apple pie, which is sooooo delicious. But I have a confession to make, I just don't give this drink five stars because hot drinks are absolutely not my favourite. I prefer very cold drinks to be honest ;) Still, it doesn't take away its deliciousness :D

Halloween - Spooky Food - Count Cross Buns

Hello!

I'm really running against time making these Halloween/Spooky foods!

Today I'm showing you the Count Cross Buns - Eat these delicious buns and repel vampires all at the same time. 

Well, these buns were fairly easy to put together and even easier to eat :D Spiced buns still warm from the oven??? Come on!!! ^_^

As this was a quite easy recipe, I'm struggling to get some brains for another recipe, most butchers simply won't get me any, which is really a bummer :( oh well...

Enough talking, on to the video :D

Enjoy!

Count Cross Buns - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- I rate this with five stars because I love all things seasoned with Fall/Winter spices: breads, buns, cakes, cookies... you name it! :D

Halloween - Spooky Food - Ghost Pancakes

 Hello!
Continuing this adventure on Spooky Foods just because it's Halloween time, here you have my take on Ghost Pancakes - These pancakes taste delicious, providing you can stop them floating around the room long enough to eat them...
Making the pancakes was fairly easy but shaping them... good gracious! :P
Anyway, you already know that if you want the full recipe, just let me know and I will gladly give it to you ^_^.

On to the video and enjoy!

Ghost Pancakes -⭐⭐⭐⭐- I rate this with four stars because nothing beats a classic like this: pancakes and honey. I don't care if they are angry ghosts or not, they are delicious! :D And, come on... look at that cutest shape!

Halloween - Spooky Food - Pumpkin Pie

 Hello!

Halloween is a pretty busy time of the year for me. And now even more with the pandemic new rules that we have to follow. I want to make Neopian recipes that relate to the Halloween theme but it seems like I'm just soooooo busy :P

Anyway, even if I don't post any more Spooky/Halloween foods, at least I made one: Pumpkin Pie - Legends say that they used to make these pies out of something other than pumpkin in the past...

And this is a fairly easy thing to make and oh so delicious. 

I usually only bake pumpkin pies during Fall and it is a very recent thing that I bake because in Portugal we don't have the pumpkin pie tradition. But, as you know, I am a kitchen/food/gastronomy lover and I have a big interest in food all around the world! And I was just so curious about pumpkin pie that I obviously had to make it and it rapidly became a favourite of the house ;)

But, anyway, here you have it, the video for Neopian Spooky Pumpkin Pie.

Enjoy!

By the way, just a note on the video: you might notice that I don't present any quantities in this video. This is because I realised that the people who asked me to make videos only wanted to see me making the food and not exactly make the food themselves so... that's that :) if you want any recipe, just let me know :)

The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:

⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(

⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!

Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Pumpkin Pie - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I rate this with five stars just because I absolutely love pumpkin pie! ^_^
