Super Easy Popovers!

My mom suggested these when i was not (unfairly) allowed to make dessert for a dinner party. At first skeptical, i refused, but eventually went along with the plan. The recipe is from my mom's roomate in college. These things are so impossibly easy to make and so good to eat you have no reason not to make them. I'm serious, make them. 

they're buttery

and flaky

and delicious

Yum!!!!!!

Diane's Popovers

• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mlk

 preheat oven to 375 degrees Fareheit. grease a muffin pan. beat the eggs slightly with a fork in a large bowl. whisk in the melted butter. then add a third of the flour, and whisk, then add the a third of the salt, whisk and then put in a third of the milk, whisk. If it's lumpy in the beginning, it's okay, the lumps will work out in the end. repeat the process until you have a thin batter. divide batter evenly into the muffin pan. bake for 35-40 minutes. enjoy alone, of with butter and/or jam.

Percy Jackson (Jumbo) Cookies for 2!

I am seriously obsessed with percy jackson, I'm sorry. It might be an illness. So I found this recipe on baker girl's blog and tweeked it so it's perfect for percy jackson fans (I consider my self 1/6 ancient greek religiously). You could do 4 regular sized cookies, but I forgot :D.

If you haven't read Percy Jackson (so help me god), The reason they're Percy Jackson cookies is because they're blue. Why are they blue, might you ask? Well if you read the books (Like a sane person) you might know. Anyway, Percy's evil stepfather (smelly) Gabe told percy's mom sally that there is no blue food. Sally now goes out of her way to eat blue. Blue birthday cake, blue waffles and blue cookies.
