Cooking Games: Easy Cheesy Noodles

When you need a hot, filling snack, easy cheesy noodles are a perfect way to fill your craving.

Gather Ingredients
For this cooking game, you’ll need only a few basic ingredients. You’ll need elbow pasta, or any other kind of pasta for that matter, a microwavable bowl, water and a package of shredded cheddar cheese.

Prepare Easy Cheesy Noodles
Start by putting a handful or two of the dry noodles into the microwaveable bowl. Add water until the bowl is close to being full. Place the bowl of water and noodles into the microwave. Cook the noodles for 10-15 minutes in the microwave. This is an easy, clean way of making noodles quickly with minimum clean-up.

When the noodles are ready, drain off the extra water and stir in as much cheese as you’d like while the noodles are still very hot. The cheese will melt and actually lump some of the noodles together rather than simply coating the noodles like traditional macaroni and cheese. Once this cooking game product is cool enough to eat, grab your spoon and your bowl of yummy warm cheesy noodles and relax while you enjoy something warm on a cool day.

Cooking Games: Brownie Cake

Easily one of my favorite ways to get a chocolate fix, brownie cake is a mixture of brownies and icing that is richly delicious. It can be so rich, even, that it is best in small doses. It is also especially yummy with ice cream.

Gather Ingredients:
To make a brownie cake, you’ll need a box of brownie mix and the required elements of the mix – usually oil, water and eggs. You’ll also need a tub of icing. You have your choice of icing, but the richest flavors usually come from a chocolate fudge icing or a cream cheese icing. You can also use chocolate chips or chocolate candies to finish the project.

Prepare the Brownie Cake
In this cooking game, you’ll be baking brownies and then using your icing and candy to create the delicious topping. Bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box. There is often a recipe for a cake-like brownie versus a chewy brownie. You have your choice, but the cake-like brownie is usually your best choice for brownie cake – it is softer.

While the brownies cook, prepare a serving plate and open your tub of icing. Stir it a few times to soften it up and then you’re ready. Once the brownies have baked and cooled, ice the pan of brownies with a thick layer of icing. Sprinkle chocolate candy over the top and then cut the brownies into small servings. Arrange them on the serving platter and enjoy!

Cooking Games: Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

This sandwich is a southern classic and was once the favorite of Elvis Presley. You can make your own peanut butter and banana sandwich quite simply.

Gather Cooking Game Ingredients
You’ll need:

• A banana
• Two slices of bread, preferably white, not wheat
• Creamy peanut butter

Making a Sandwich
To make your sandwich, you’ll need to first use a knife very carefully to cut the banana. Cut it in half first and then cut along the length of the banana until you have four long skinny pieces that will fit nicely into a sandwich.

Spread peanut butter on both pieces of bread – a thin layer is probably best for this as a thick layer combined with white bread does get a bit gummy.

When you’ve put peanut butter on both sides, carefully lay out the banana so that the pieces cover a single slice of bread, but don’t overlap. Place the other piece of bread over the top of the banana and your sandwich is complete.

Because it’s a rather thick sandwich, you’ll want to take small bites to be sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew.

If you like the sandwich, you can almost make a variation of it that includes honey. This is truly a special treat – a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich.

Cooking Games: Ants on a Log

If you’re looking for a simple cooking game to do with your younger brother or sister, try this one. It’s a fun way to enjoy some fruits and veggies, too.

Gather Cooking Game Ingredients
You’ll need:

Celery
Peanut Butter
Raisins

Making Ants on a Log
To actually make ants on a log, you’ll need help from someone younger to really make it fun. Start by carefully filling in the center of the celery with peanut butter. Since yu area getting help from a younger sibling or cousin, you’ll want to use creamy peanut butter – the crunchy kind can be somewhat dangerous for young children.

Smear on the peanut butter, trying to keep in the groove of the celery rather than on the sides. When the “log” is coated in peanut butter, have your younger helper carefully arrange the raisins in a row right down the center of the peanut butter.

The end result is a series of dark “ants” marching down a brown “log.” The best part of all is that the ants can keep right on marching into your mouth.

Five Things I’ve Learned From Cooking Games

Fast paced cooking games online have taught me a thing or two… or five.

1.Stay focused. If you let your attention waver for just a moment while playing cooking games, you’ve lost your way and you’ll likely lose your game. You must remain focused at all times while playing.

2.Speed it up! I might like to stop and think about the moves I’m making, but I’m certainly not the majority when it comes to cooking games. You have to be fast and stay that way the whole time.

3.Try new things. There are so many kinds of cooking games, I was overwhelmed initially. But then as I started to try the different kinds, I realized that I really liked many of the games that I initially thought I might be frustrated with.

4.Cooking game clear the mind. When my mind is troubled, I can pull up a cooking game and immediately start working on frying up something or flipping something on the grill instead of stewing. It’s a nice break.

5.Cooking games are best if you share. If you really want to enjoy cooking games, you should share the experience with friends.

My Top Five Cooking Games

I like all kinds of cooking games, but some are just better than others. Here are the top five that I’ve enjoyed playing:

Hot Dogs and Hamburgers
They are so normal, but online somehow hamburgers and hot dogs take on a life of their own. You might cook a couple of burgers for dinner, but you’ll cook hundreds online in a single game.

Pizza
A pizza crust is a blank canvas. Play pizza games online and you can create a virtual pizza. Play pizza games offline and you can create lunch.

Cakes
Cakes and cupcakes are a fun way to let children of all ages celebrate their creativity by decorating each one. This can be especially fun online for those who don’t enjoy other games.

Sushi
Something about serving up raw fish just makes it fun. Maybe it’s the imaginary fishy smell.

BBQ
Similar yet different from the hamburger and hot dog games, and BBQ is fun in its own way. In a true BBQ game you have to handle flipping food, layering on BBQ sauce and serving it up just right.

Cooking Games: More than Entertainment

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend time online, look no farther than cooking games. Cooking games combine speed, endurance and sharp wits to prepare virtual food in a rapid course of events to keep virtual customers happy.

But of course, cooking games aren’t just for the internet savvy. You can play any number of cooking games at home in your kitchen. If you’ve played online, you have a huge advantage in the kitchen. The biggest obstacle you’ll face is learning how to hold and use the tools in real life rather than on the screen. Clicking is very different from actually cutting, you see.

Always put safety first when playing cooking games in your own kitchen. You’ll want to slow down and take your time with the process to avoid injuries. Always double check recipes and be especially careful around sharp objects and heat sources. But once you have the safety established and the basics down, you have any number of options of what to play.

Try cookies, biscuits, cakes, pies, barbeque and so much more to see how cooking in real life can be even better than cooking online. Get creative and get started!

Cooking Games – Baked Potatoes

Baked potatoes are a great way to eat a healthy, filling supper, especially on a day that is cold and dreary. A hot baked potato topped with chili and cheese or as assortment of chicken and other goodies is a delicious meal that will warm you up from the inside while providing you with many nutrients.

Preparing Baked Potatoes
Find some medium russet, brown, baking potatoes. One per person is usually the guideline. If your potatoes are for side dishes, small ones are acceptable, but potatoes used for meals can be quite large.

Scrub the potatoes within an inch of their life to remove all the dirt and other contaminants from the skin. Then, use a fork to poke a series of holes in the potato to allow the hot air to vent. Do not put the potato in tin foil as this can make the skin soggy.

The potatoes will need to bake for a long time. After an hour at 350 degrees, remove the potato using potholders to protect your hands. Use a knife to cut it open and top with any combination of toppings. Enjoy!
