Two-Minute Nutella Cake
1 tablespoon Nutella
1 beaten egg
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Pour mixture into one large, well-greased microwavable bowl. Microwave for thirty seconds. If not done, add an additional 10 seconds. Be careful; the batter can explode.
Fried Egg Pizza
1 slice of cold pizza
1 egg
Freshen up old pizza by cooking an egg sunny side up and then tossing it on the slice. Done.
French Fry Parmigiana
1 bag frozen waffle fries
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup mozzerella cheese
Bake fries in the oven (450 degrees for roughly 15 minutes). Heat the marinara sauce in pan. Take the fries out, add sauce, top with cheese, place in oven again until cheese melts.
Banana Mash
1 or 2 bananas
a pinch of nutmeg
a dash of cinnamon
Mash the banana with a fork, sprinkle on the spices, and microwave for 30 seconds. Add Nutella if you're feeling European.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milkshake
Get your vanilla ice cream, your milk, and a half-bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Toss that in a blender and watch a childhood favorite transform into something greater via the magic of a rotating blade. Added bonus: Watching the liquid swirl is like getting stoned and watching an experimental film. Or staring at a Magic Eye. Fun for hours. Just remember to eat the shake at some point.
General Tso's Burrito
You need: one order of General Tso's chicken, delivered to your door, plus a flour tortilla. What's brilliant about this recipe is that 90 percent of the work will be done by the Chinese restaurant. All you have to do is go Chipotle on your meal by dumping the contents of the take-out containers into a warm tortilla. Wrap it up and then you can eat and watch TV without those meddling utensils.
Kool-Aid Seltzer
Mix up your preferred flavor (more appropriately, your preferred color) of Kool-Aid, add seltzer, begin to clean your brains up off the floor. Carbonated Kool-Aid was always this close; you just never realized it. You're welcome.
Spaghetti Sandwich
This can be as complicated or as simple as you'd like. The basics are spaghetti, meatballs, tomato sauce, garlic bread, and cheese (mozzarella or provolone are best). Simultaneously but seperately, cook the pasta and the meatballs and tomato sauce. You can add pesto to the sauce for extra taste. Combine them when all ingredients are done cooking. Heat up frozen garlic bread (or make your own). Place the pasta and meatballs on one piece of bread, top with the other, and crush.
Cadbury Egg Ice Cream
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1 Cadbury Creme Egg
In a large bowl, mash the creme egg into the ice cream with the back of your spoon. Then spoon it into your mouth.
Microwave Potato Chips
4 large potatoes (any kind)
your choice of spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)
vegetable oil
Clean and very thinly slice the potatoes. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes then let them dry. Rub a microwavable tray with vegetable oil, and place the slices in a single layer on the tray. Spice and cover the potatoes, then microwave on HIGH until they curl or turn light brown. Eat them shits.
Cinnamon Toast
This is a childhood staple. Any kind of bread works. Toast it, butter it, top with mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Enjoy.
Frito Tacos
1 large bag of Fritos (or a bunch of little bags of Fritos)
shredded lettuce
diced onion
chopped tomato
shredded cheese
dollops of salsa
cooked ground beef/chicken/black beans
Lightly break up the Fritos. Combine all the ingredients into the Fritos bag, shake up, eat.
Old Bay Ramen
1 package of ramen
1 tin of Old Bay seasoning
Cook the noodles, add copious amounts of Old Bay.
Frappe
1 cup cold coffee
1 cup coconut milk
3 spoonfuls of sugar
3 spoonfuls of corn starch
3 spoonfuls of chocolate syrup
Put all ingredients in the blender. Watch the wheels go 'round for a minute. Pour into a chilled glass. Top with more coconut milk and syrup. Go gorilla.
Oreo Milkshake
You'll need: a blender, Oreos, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and milk. The beauty of this shake is that you decide how much of each ingredient you want. Want it extra thick? Go light on the milk. Calibrate the levels of chocolate and vanilla to meet your palate. One tip: let the ice cream soften before blending. And be sure to quarter up the cookies.
Grilled Cheese
You know the drill: buttered bread, cheese, and butter in a hot pan. Grill to your liking. Infinite number of cheese possibilities and combinations, and even more types of additives (bacon is huge; tomatoes are healthy.) If you want to freak it a little different, spread mayo and mustard on the bread along with the butter and cheese before you fry.
S'mores
You can make these one of four ways: microwave, oven, open-flame, on the rocks. You know what you need: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow. In the microwave, you want to be careful so that the mallow does not explode. In the oven, it melts for you (350 degrees for 5 minutes). If you have a gas stove (or, less ideally, an unscented candle) you can pretend you've gone camping—just don't burn down your surroundings. You also can assemble the ingredients raw. Granted, much of the appeal of a S'more is the fire/roasting/melting aspect—but we expect you won't really care. To go H.A.M., replace the graham crackers with Pop-Tarts.
Pizza Rolls
Buy them. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put them in the oven for 8 minutes. LET THEM COOL (this is important). Eat them.
Nachos
1 bag of tortilla chips
1 bag of shredded cheese
1/2 chopped onion
1 can black beans (optional)
1/2 chopped tomato
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and let them bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Add salsa, hot sauce, sour cream...whatever. The point of nachos is that they can be whatever you want them to be. Just let them be great.
Peach Compote
3 cups peaches, skinned and quartered
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup cranberry juice
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. corn starch
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon
In a pan, combine peaches, lemon juice, 3/4 cranberry juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, letting it simmer for five minutes. Mix cranberry juice and cornstarch together then, bringing the pan to a boil again, add it. Mix for two minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream if your stoned-self is feeling decadent.
