Hello. If you’re new, I’m Olivia Mei Forth, creator of the blog of Olivia’s Fun Food Blog. It’s not a big deal. Still, I want to show my skills to the world. My sister Luella is planning on making a show called “Who Can Make The Best Pancakes?”

My sister is my business partner for cooking. She’s the mascot for Joy Industries, my company… well, she’s just the mascot. I love her little ways of thinking and adorable imagination. My Ice Cream and Salad was dedicated to her. (Dedication

Thanksgiving is a big deal and stress. Two words. Total. Stress. You sometimes have to cook on your own for a whole family. Imagine if you had thirty family members and you had to feed them? I love blogging because it’s like a public talent show.

Let the cooking feast begin!

Thanksgiving Turkey

Prep: Place turkey in pan with tinfoil placed. Buy ingredients a week before for extra prep.

1. Buy a well cared turkey and slap it on the wings, body and belly. Pour a bit of sesame and soy sauce on top, wait till the sauce reaches the tinfoil. Then, just a pinch of pepper and salt will be the seasoning. Then, cut some thyme and sprinkle it just a bit on the outside, but a bit more on the inside.
2. Have you prepped the seasonings and sauces? Yes? Then, start the filling. I love potatoes and certainly think they are a good substitute for bread and other things for fillings.
3. Start cutting the peel of potato off, and when your family is doing so, you do a extra pat on the turkey. Sprinkle some extra thyme if you want a peppermint flavour along with the delicious seasonings and sauces. After the potatoes are peeled, get a large pan ready and squirt just a bit of olive oil and move the pan to side to side for it to be all over. The substitute can be butter.
4. When the potatoes are a good golden colour, ask your mom or dad to put it in the turkey. It’s not dangerous at all, but maybe the blood might be still there, so ask your mom or dad to clean it and put the toppings in. For prep, and if you have siblings, you and them can get the table ready. Normal for just family dinner, Fancy for party dinner.
5. Ask your mom or dad to get an ovenmit and take the turkey to put in the oven. Set for about half an hour or more, till golden and has a tasty taste.

Have some cranberries that your dying to use? Here’s this recipe:

Cranberry Jelly

1. Add water into a pot and boil it for 10-15 minutes. Once it looks like a liquid, strain them in a cheesecloth.
2. When it is no longer hot, squeeze the juice into a large bowl. Time to add the sugar, and time to beat the heat!
3. Beat the sugar into the water, and then restart boiling.
4. Once boiling, stir in the liquid certo.
5. If foam is pouring out, scrape it. Maybe it will come in handy. I think I’ll use it to make the jelly fancier.
6. Pour into jars until there are only 1/2 inches left on the jars. Then, if you want to get fancy, put some tiny plates out. Chop into pieces, only 2 inches. Then, maybe add the foam, or not, if your anxiety level is high, and give a glass of water if too bitter. Of course not! Your a great chef!

These are the recipes that will brighten your feast. Bon appetit!

Veggies! Who loves veggies? Who? WHO? This is my signature salad.

1. First, cut slices of avocado in shell, then cut around the big seed. Scrape the slices off and throw it in the soil after.
2. Get cabbage and slice it into medium-sized pieces. Throw it in the water of a water mixer. Ask your siblings or parents to push the top button while you slice the tomatoes with your other parent.
3. Get the cabbage out and put in a bowl. Crunch in the middle and place sliced tomatoes around the outline of the circle. Then, put the sliced avocados on top of the tomatoes.
4. Place on pea in the middle, then, slice the celery.
5. The celery will fill the right half of the dish. And then, slice carrots into and place on the bottom of left. Then pour dip on the upper left.

Bon appetit!

The Ritz is definitely the one I remember well. I haven’t actually went there, but I’ve heard it well. I’ve had the Ritz crackers and they were delicious! If you like restaurants, good for you! Okay, of course you do.

Everyone knows chocolate has to be made with cocoa beans. I love chocolate so much. I wish I can make my own chocolate, but I only now whipped cream.

How ’bout I learn and tell you?

-250 grams of cacao butter

-1/2 tsp vanilla powder

-200 grams of cacao paste

-pinch of salt

-1/2 cup maple syrup plus an extra 2 tbsp

Now let’s see good toppings:

1. Home made whipped cream, buy the milk from Whole Foods or your local food store.
2. A dash of caramel on the top, not much to overpower the taste of delicious chocolate.

That’s all from me. Just tap “Olivia’s Fun Food” and you’ll find my blog and you’ll see the new article “Tasty Toast”.

Good day, Fun foods! If you are mother or father and child who fight all the time, your day just brighter. I’m making the only fancy dish I know, or rather, dessert. If I don’t have pictures now I can post them later. Stay tuned for that. It is Ice Cream With A Mint On Top (Or Cherry)! So, first, let’s see how we can do this.

-Two eggs, only use the yolks

-Two teaspoons of granulated sugar

-2 1/2, (20 0z), cups of 33% Dairyland milk

-1 1/2, (12 oz), cups of heavy cream

-One big silver spoon of vanilla extract

-1/2, (4 oz), cups of Vanilla Bean Paste

I so do hope you love the taste. I experimented with it a brand new way. If you are 8 and up, watch Julie and Julia, it’s about blogging about cooking. Oh, you can put these toppings on:

1. Cinnamon
2. Oh! The mint!
3. And the cherries!
4. Maybe put some vanilla bean on!

Hope the bean doesn’t taste bad. And I hope this was good and your arguments are over! See you for Home Made Chocolate: Your Toppings!

Like mint, basil can be good in veggie recipes and fancy ice cream and other fancy things. Berries are woodland toppings, too. Also maple syrup, Canada’s extra special specialty. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. If you were an animal, what food would you eat? Say in the comments. Fancy things are not my upmost specialty, but you know pancakes are. English Breakfasts do look like a challenge, but let me tell you: not for my mom. She’s super good at cooking and can make sausages, beans, bacon and eggs taste delicious! One thing, she’s my cooking idol. I don’t know any fancy things except ice cream with a touch of mint on top. Maybe in my second recipe, I an do a new fruitcake recipe. Stay tuned with Olivia’s Fun Food Blog for details on Vanilla Ice Cream with A mint on top! (Or if you want, cherry!)

Hello. Right now I’m explaining why I like food. And my specialty in cooking.

I’ve grown up with so many recipes with pancakes that it has become part of my life’s tradition. Along with bacon. I’m so sorry pigs!

Food is my favourite thing along with writing and reading, and just living life and studying what Mother Nature and the other things that give us life. Like the sky, the sea and the ground. Don’t forget the atmosphere and space. Although we are the only living things in the galaxies. 

What became inspiring to me was when I watched Chef and saw myself whisking the milk and eggs into a beautiful throffy color. Well, what was inspiring about Chef was that Carl Casper had faith in his food and that he chose the food truck business then restaurant chef. And when he was ready to have it, he was calm and ready for the responsibility. I think it’s the stress to make your customers happy that makes me think “I’ll start out as a noob, then see what comes my way”.

Anyway, today me and my Sous-Chefs and Line Chef made the second special batch in my life of Olivia’s Fluffy Pancakes. My grandma, Yoshie Hattori, my second Sous-Chef and who I call Baba, she hadn’t tasted the pancakes, (with extra cinnamon this time!), so I was ready to surprise her with delicious taste. I prepped a little display that had an empty wine bottle, some cutlery and a fancy cup. The plate was with blue flowers and Baba folded the crane— or swan— and we were ready.

She sat down and poured some maple syrup on. She had chosen a blueberry one. Good. I desperately wished she would like it. She ate it.

She shook her head. For a second, I thought she didn’t like it. Then, she said “It’s terrific!”

I was so happy. My whisking luck worked!

So, I hope to see you in my later articles for Olivia’s Fun Food Blog. Maybe you could call me Via Mei in the comments?

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
