Cooking Games and Pot Luck

There is no reason pot lucks have to be on formal occasions at work. If you have a group of friends who like to eat together, why not have a standing pot luck event every week or every couple of weeks? You can give each potluck a name or just make them a standing ritual. To have a pot luck cooking game, you only need to have a few friends to join together to make something yummy. You might want to divvy up the styles of foods to bring for each friend as well.

For example, the first week of the cooking games, you could bring the main course in a crock pot. Another friend can bring a salad, the next a side dish and the fourth a dessert. The end result is a nice meal that everyone can share. It’s much better than a frozen meal and it’s not much more expensive than your meal would have been otherwise. This is especially true if you bring the main dish only once per month when you do this weekly. A side benefit is that the food can be used again the next day as delicious leftovers.

Cooking Games and Personalized Cookies

To help celebrate the holidays with good friends, why not have a cookie decorating event? While this might sound more like something kids do, there are more than a few adults who would love to have a chance to smear around some icing and play with sprinkles. Invite your friends over for this cooking game, and you can make it into a casual tea party. Make a pot of tea and set out a platter of plain cookies on the table. Then, use a bit of icing to decorate each one.

If you’re like you can have a contest before everyone starts devouring the yummy treats. Another option is to make large cookies decorated especially for each of your friends. Take a message from the cookie companies that decorate cookies like real cakes. Use icing to create a picture on a large cookie. Or just write some initials and use some sprinkles to jazz things up a bit. When you arrive at work or school with all of your cookies in tow, you’ll be the hit of the crowd.

Cooking Games Online

One of the most interesting games to play online are the cooking games. With the cooking games, you’re doing much more than just trying to get from one point on the screen to another. You’re not shooting anything or driving a car. The point of the cooking games is to get orders correct as if you’re a short order cook. With the cooking games, you are a cook or chef in a busy establishment. Orders start coming in and it’s up to you to determine the best way to cook everything to get the orders finished up and out the door.

To get the cooking done correctly, you’re in a constant battle against burning certain food items and getting others on the griddle in time. As things are ready, you move them along and the game continues. Naturally the cooking games increase in difficulty as you play, making them more challenging while also making them plenty of fun, too. You might even become inspired to put down the mouse and pick up a spatula of your own to create a yummy feast all your own.

Cooking Games and Popcorn Balls

What could be better for fall than popcorn balls? You can make these simply cooking games at home on a cold fall afternoon, although you should plan to eat them right away. Popcorn balls don’t last long and can get harder over time if they are not wrapped or eaten immediately.

To make the popcorn ball cooking games, you’ll start with salted popcorn. You can use unsalted, plain popcorn, but it makes everything a bit bland. Pop your popcorn and put it aside. Melt half a stick of butter in a very large pot and then add ¼ cup of brown sugar. Stir the sugar and butter together before adding 4 cups of marshmallows. Melt the marshmallows and stir very well. Turn off the heat and then add the popcorn. Stir it gently until all of the popcorn is covered in the marshmallow mixture.

Press the balls into shape by hand and wrap or eat immediately. Letting the balls sit will make them dry out almost immediately.
