Ingredients: 3 bananas wooden sticks 1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips Optional: tablespoon nut topping crispy rice cereal granola or shredded coconut Peel the bananas and remove any stringy fibres.Mayan Waffles (vegan)
I have always loved experimenting in the kitchen and I have been a dietetic (health reasons as opposed to moral/ethical) vegan for a little over a year now -- while my diet has expanded to encompass vegetarian choices at present because my budget is somewhat limited while on the job search (^-^) I do plan on following vegan guidelines again as soon as possible, but I figured I'd share the wisdom I've garnered over my year-long journey as the Big V. Today I've decided to share my own recipe for home-made, Mayan Waffles; chocolate with a little kick to get you going in the morning (but don't let me limit you -- some of my best dinners have circled around breakfast foods). The special equipment you'll need for this recipe is a handy waffle iron.Chocolate Espresso Smoothie

2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)

Mitch Hedberg - My Favorite Comedian
Mitch Hedberg is my favorite comedian of all time. His style (random non-sequiturs) reminded me of old-school Stephen Wright.
Hedberg sadly died in March of 2005 of a drug overdose.
My Mom's bday party food spread! Very tropical :P
My mom's bday party at our office 'house', it's a typical Filipino spread...so that basically means a lot of food. :D Lol, for some reason it felt like i was eating 'island' food.
And this is only one side of the buffet spread!
The music of The Office
I was thinking of how awesomely random the music they use on The Office is. I mean, they'll dig up some song I haven't thought of in like ten years and feature it in a hilarious way. So I made up a playlist of a bunch of songs that are featured on the show.
