Key Lime (or Lemon) White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Somehow my family ended up with lemons, and mom wanted to get rid of them. So I thought about my favorite cookies, Lemon White Chocolate Chip cookies. Naturally, I wanted to come up with my own way to make them. I got thinking about it some more, and I realized I wanted to make Key Lime White Chocolate Chip cookies too, so I did.
The recipe that this is based off of (no I am not that much of a genius to come up a full cookie recipe) comes from One Smart Cookie, the chocolate chip cookie recipe.
To start, you will need:
1/4 cup Butter or margerine softened
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 tbsp. corn syrup (the good kind, not high fructose)
key lime juice (start with 2 tbsp. but you might need more)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda 
1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 if it is conventional, 325 if convection. Combine butter and sugar together until they become a smooth mixture. Then add the egg, corn syrup and key lime juice until smooth.

Add in the flour and baking soda. Then include the white chocolate chips.

Test the dough and see if you can taste the key lime. You want the dough to be really strong with key lime, some of the taste bakes out. When you think there is enough, drop the cookies onto a greased cookie sheet. I like to make my cookies really big, but the base recipe says it makes 20, I usually make 12-15 cookies.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. The dough should be a little liquidy, that's how I like it, so it cooks a little fast, so make sure to watch them so they don't burn.

Enjoy!! They go fast!

Orange Chicken Ramen

Now, we all know that there are starving college students out there, so this post is dedicated to them. I'm getting close to the time in my life when I will be one too, so I was thinking of food that I could make that is cheap but good and filling. Thus, I came up with orange chicken ramen! For this, you will need a package of ramen noodles, chicken strips (in this example I used 3, but use as many as you want), and Panda Express Orange Sauce.

Take out the chicken strips and put them into a frying pan, frozen. Pour the orange sauce so that it covers the chicken completely.

While warming the chicken, boil water and put the noodles in. Do not put in the seasoning! Cook the noodles until they are seperated and no longer chewy (Because let's face it, chewy noodles is just plain gross!). Drain the water and let the noodles sit until chicken it cooked.

 

When the chicken is warm enough, cut the chicken strips into bite sized pieces, unless you want to be a complete carnivore and just want to eat the entire chicken at once. For the rest of us, the chicken should look like this:

 

To avoid sickness later, make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through (the meat will be white, not pink ;)). Then combine the noodles and the chicken, adding a tad bit more sauce to taste. 

It should be nummy now, enjoy!
