let's take a second to squee over the april page in the allie brosh calendar。 so cute！ for april， the same general floater-warning applies， with some amendments: this is my april project， so it's gonna pop up every now and then throughout the month。 however， because this one is a cookbook rather than a drawing， coloring， or maggie-centric project book， i'm likely not going to do one a day。 that's just too many twinkies！ but i will do at least two a week， unless i do， in fact， need surgery， and that'll just screw everything up， so fingers crossed that my body will heal itself。 and， yes， i will miss my maggie adventures， but i guarantee you that some cat hair is going to find its way into these recipes， so she will be with us all in spirit。i'm picking and choosing what to make from this book for reasons of time and practicality。 as lovely as this is， i ain't making a twinkie wedding cake:and the twinkie sushi looks cute， but probably tastes gross， and i learned my lesson with that tang toast debacle。and i feel like i just missed the timing on the twinkie easter egg huntthere's also a turkey stuffed with a twinkie-cornbread stuffing， but spring doesn't seem like the right time for that。additionally， i bemoan the fact that my deep fryer is no longer here， because there are a few that require one that i would love to make， particularly the deep-fried bacon-wrapped chocolate-covered twinkies which sound amazing。 true culinary fact-the more hyphens a recipe name has， the tastier it is。ALSO， i need to find someone to let me use their microwave so i can make the chocolate hazelnut twinkie s'mores。 why aren't there public microwave huts available？ someone get on that。but never fear， there are still many many recipes to explore。the most challenging thing about this project is keeping sean of the house out of the twinkies EVEN THOUGH i have so many easter snacks and ridiculous treats lying around that he is permitted to eat， he keeps making a move towards the twinkie boxes and i need to keep swatting him with a spatula。 but so enough of that-let the great twinkie adventure begin！ CHICKEN-RASPBERRY TWINKIE SALADthis is how it looks in the bookyou will need and of course， maggie is all investigative as i'm getting my mise together…no， maggie， your project was LAST MONTH！so you end up with some salsaa real white trash 'raspberry vinaigrette'and some chicken mixed with the twinkie cream and jam and balsamic which looked pretty grossbut everything looks prettier covered in salsa and cheese！they look a little dodgy， but they were unexpectedly tasty。 who knew jalapeños and twinkies were a good match？and serving them on a bed of greens makes them healthy！i gave some to greg， and he declared them to be 'yummy。' sean of the house wouldn't even try them。 he only likes twinkies in their natural state， preferably pilfered。 but i say yum。CHOCOLATE TWINKIE PUDDINGyou will need in the slow cooker， ready to go:and you will use way more chocolate chips than the recipe calls for。 because who wants open chocolate chip bags cluttering up the cupboards？ and this is what will happen:it's incredibly rich and dense and doesn't slide off of the spoon at all。 and it kind of looks like a little bear。rarrralso delicious。 and somehow tastes like there's alcohol in it， even though there is not FROZEN YOGURT TWINKIE POPyou will need combinefreezeeat even a broken-backed old lady can make it！ TWINKIE TUNNEL BUNDT CAKEthis is how it looks in the bookyou will needit gets all messy and textured in the baking processwith cutie twinkie-peeksies！then invert， dust with confectioner's sugarand add john cusackPIGS IN A TWINKIEyou will needthe recipe is pretty simple - make sausages， slice off ends of twinkies and then。。。sexxytimemaggie is scandalized next to me on my messy sickbedthen you bake 'em and add some maple syrupthese are tasty。 very sweet， but tasty。 TWINKIE BROWNIE BARSyou will needso， you make the brownies and then you scoff at the "microwave" step and make your caramel sauce in a wobbly poorgirl 'double boiler'and you layer everything togetherand you cover it with a mixture of whipped cream and hot cocoa powderit's in the fridge now - getting ready for me to devour it。。。i will report back！ here is what it looks like in cross-section:this is the most delicious one yet。 i have fed it to greg， connor， and sean of the house and everyone has been over the moon about it。 most definitely a keeper， and it has singlehandedly made the entire project worth it。 DAVE'S TWINKIE BURGERthis is how it looks in the bookyou will needi was really looking forward to this one; it's that kind of sweet/savory mashing i so enjoy。 i'm following the recipes here faithfully， even when i think it would be better to do it my way， so when this one said "frozen beef patty，" that's what i used， even though it was a little thinner than i typically like my meat。 so you divide one beef patty among three twinkie bottoms top with baconand brietop with hot sauce mixture while maggie looks on-and yes， i attempted a fancy fine dining sauce-smear， but did not quite pull it off。 and also dropped some on my table。 but it still looked magnificent。。。formidableit just wasn't as delicious as i'd hoped。 it was in no way disgusting， but i think there needed to be a "remove the cream" step。 the twinkie cake/bacon combo was a winner， but the cream pushed it into "too-sweet" territory。 and brie is not the right cheese。 or i just messed up the proportions。 the sauce was too spicy and the bacon and hamburger too savory and they ended up overpowering the mild flavor of the brie。 the texture was nice， but that's all i was getting from the brie。 a little disappointing， but if i decide to make it again， i know how to improve it。**this project is facing a terrible setback。 apparently， there is a twinkie shortage no one told me about。 today i went to NINE different stores in my neighborhood - five grocery stores and three duane reade/rite aid stores， risking my poor busted back AND my friendship with greg， who i enlisted to help me walk and to carry things i'm not supposed to be carrying， and we did not manage to find a single box of twinkies。 i had enough here to make two additional recipes today， and tomorrow i am going to take the subway to some stores i am confident will have them， but i'm a bit concerned - where have all the twinkies gone？？**TWINKIE CHERRY PIEthis is how it looks in the bookyou will needhere is the process - cover halved twinkies with cream cheese/condensed milk mixturecherry pie fillingcrushed pineapplenuts-i used peanuts because the recipe called for 'brazil nuts or other nuts （optional）' which is。。。nuts， because whose go-to recipe nut is the brazil nut？ can you even buy brazil nuts？ don't they only exist to be flicked outta the mixed nuts in favor of the noble cashew？ （gesundheit） whipped creammore cherry pie filling and more nutsi haven't tried it yet， but i will report back。 not the prettiest cross-section， but it was damn tasty！CRAZY TWINKIE CAPRESE BITESthis is the one i was dreading the mostyou will need （the brown stuff in the plastic lid is finely-crumbled bacon） fry （note to youse-twinkies fry up FAST and can burn very easily if you get distracted with other things）like making a balsamic reductionmaybe not the most masterfully-plated dishadd balsamic reductionand there you have it this was not as disgusting as i thought it would be and somehow， against all expectations， sean loved them。 which was good because i burned more than a few of them and he enjoys the taste of char more than i do。 i don't think i'd make them again， but at least i didn't frow up， and i have a ton of balsamic reduction to use on something tastier。TWINKIE ORANGE BAVARIAN DREAMyou will needarrange orangescover with goopgreg， maybe don't look at this part then slap it in the fridge to set and cover it with pretty in a few hoursthis is greg's favorite so far。 it can be made with any jello flavor， so i may test some othersFRENCH TWINKIESyou will needthis is basically 'make french toast out of twinkies！'oh， and they are deliiiiiiciousmaybe even the best one yet！ NO-BAKE TWINKIE TURTLE CAKEyou will needlook familiar？ they all pretty much start out this wayadd puddingadd toasted pecansadd carameladd whipped cream and chocolate chips。 refrigerate。this one got 。。。 weird。 i don't know if it's because i got cook & serve pudding instead of instant pudding and it hadn't cooled properly before i put it in the fridge or if i'm being punished for having no pudding brand-loyalty but the pudding got gelatinous， there was a caramel flood and everything was cray cut off！ twinkie-ing continues here: https://www。goodreads。com/review/show。。。 。。。more

I love that this book starts with a section about the history of the Twinkie， which adds to its value as a collectible volume。There are a lot of fun recipes in this little book。 A few of the ones I want to try include Twinkie Tunnel Bundt Cake， Twinkie Kebabals， Twinkie Burritos， Chocolate Hazelnut Twinkie S'mores， and Twinkie Corndog。All of the recipes appear to be quick and simple， which I appreciate。I received a copy of this book from Blogging For Books in exchange for an honest review。 All t I love that this book starts with a section about the history of the Twinkie， which adds to its value as a collectible volume。There are a lot of fun recipes in this little book。 A few of the ones I want to try include Twinkie Tunnel Bundt Cake， Twinkie Kebabals， Twinkie Burritos， Chocolate Hazelnut Twinkie S'mores， and Twinkie Corndog。All of the recipes appear to be quick and simple， which I appreciate。I received a copy of this book from Blogging For Books in exchange for an honest review。 All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own。 。。。more

I'm not a huge Twinkie fan so this book had a huge line to jump across when I received a copy through the blogging for books program。 It was very impressive and inspiring。 yes， some recipes were silly but some were also very interesting。 I'll be adding Twinkie Carrot Cake Cookies to my holiday baking this year， if for nothing else than to say "yes it's that Twinkie！"。 My big criticism is that I would have liked to see more pictures。 In my own world every recipe should have a picture。 A fun read I'm not a huge Twinkie fan so this book had a huge line to jump across when I received a copy through the blogging for books program。 It was very impressive and inspiring。 yes， some recipes were silly but some were also very interesting。 I'll be adding Twinkie Carrot Cake Cookies to my holiday baking this year， if for nothing else than to say "yes it's that Twinkie！"。 My big criticism is that I would have liked to see more pictures。 In my own world every recipe should have a picture。 A fun read especially for Twinkie lovers！ 。。。more

Amazing， I never knew you could do so much with a simple sponge cake。 Many may view the humble 'Twinkie' with derision as we try and get ourselves back to a healthy menu， but for that special picnic， that teen movie night or a slumber party; several of these recipe's will be a big hit。 Add simple and easy directions， you have a winner。 I particularly like the County Fair Parfait on page 50， which is served in a mason quart jar with only 3 ingredients。 Another recipe I plan on trying is the Twin Amazing， I never knew you could do so much with a simple sponge cake。 Many may view the humble 'Twinkie' with derision as we try and get ourselves back to a healthy menu， but for that special picnic， that teen movie night or a slumber party; several of these recipe's will be a big hit。 Add simple and easy directions， you have a winner。 I particularly like the County Fair Parfait on page 50， which is served in a mason quart jar with only 3 ingredients。 Another recipe I plan on trying is the Twinkie Tunnel Bundt Cake， only 3 ingredients and being a 'bundt' it will look elegant enough for any Church Supper or Potluck get together。 。。。more

Ah。 Twinkies。The sugar filled （and cream filled） cakes we would scream with joy to see packed in our lunchbox growing up。 The dessert was one that children would trade anything in their lunch for in the cafeteria。 Then came the scare of Twinkies never being around again。 Thankfully they are back on the shelves and now Hostess is celebrating with an 85th anniversary Edition cookbook for Twinkie lovers。Looking through the photos and the names of the recipes， I admit to drooling and craving a Twink Ah。 Twinkies。The sugar filled （and cream filled） cakes we would scream with joy to see packed in our lunchbox growing up。 The dessert was one that children would trade anything in their lunch for in the cafeteria。 Then came the scare of Twinkies never being around again。 Thankfully they are back on the shelves and now Hostess is celebrating with an 85th anniversary Edition cookbook for Twinkie lovers。Looking through the photos and the names of the recipes， I admit to drooling and craving a Twinkie。 I might have ate one or two （or three） while also devouring the pages of this cookbook。 I learned new ways to include the Twinkie in several dessert dishes I wouldn’t have really thought about。 A few of the recipes were generic and with not much thought really， but it is including Twinkies！ How are they suppose to improve on something that is already perfect？There were a few flaws with the electronic version I received。 The recipes were split up weird with half the recipe on one page， and the rest on the next。 Pictures were also cut in half and split up the same way。 In my opinion， this would be better as a print book than as an electronic edition。 。。。more
