I made some homemade granola bars for my students last week.
 
6 cups of bran flakes (or corn flakes)
4 cups of stuff (dried apricots, raisins, craisins, chocolate chips, coconut, sesame seeds, etc)
1 can of condensed milk
 
Mix it all together, spread it out on a cookie sheet (grease it or use foil to make removal easier), bake at ~300F for maybe twenty minutes or whenever it starts to brown a bit. This is just to dry the mixture, not to actually cook anything. Remove from oven, let cool for a bit, cut while still warm. 
 
Super simple, healthy, delicious. Total time to make it is about half an hour.

Christmas is here!

Love to cook and experiment with food! Love to bake things too... but I agree, cleaning up is the hard part. I always use excuse "the cook never cleans"

My ghetto pie recipe...
 
crust (if you didn't pie a premade one)
- 2 cups pancake mix, with less water/milk or whatever so it makes a dough. 
- roll 2/3 of it into a ball, flatten into a circle, put into pie pan
--- secret trick: flatten it on a piece of parchment paper or tin foil until it's slightly larger than the pie pan, then put the pan upside down on top and flip everything over and smoosh into place
- roll out the remainder into another circle, this will be the pie top after you put the filling in (if you're feeling fancy, slice it up and weave it on top)
 
filling:
- three apples, peeled and sliced
- put into a container, coat with some flour and cinammon, put lid on and shake
- heat up a half cup of jam, spoon a bit all over the pie
 
cook:
- oven, 350F, 1 hour

I just deep fried some donuts:
 

 

 
I've got vanilla, chocolate, and maple.  The maple is the best by far.

You suck, deep fried as in a deep frier?

Those donuts would be my preferred method of suicide.

Haha yep.  I got a deep fryer for Christmas so I'm putting it to good use.  I'll probably be making more donuts on Monday.

I started cooking for fun after I found this book:
 
http://www.amazon.com/Best-Recipe-Cooks-Illustrated-Magazine/dp/0936184744/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325449637&sr=8-1
 
Seriously the best cookbook I've ever found and appeals really to the nerd in me. This book isn't your normal cookbook. There's literally a method and results section before each recipe outlining how they tested each permutation to figure out the optimal amount of each ingredient and the order of cooking. Also it has copious reviews of various cooking equipment that I hope to be able to afford one day =)
 
I highly suggest head-fi'ers check it out

I'm a certified pastry cook. here's a few of my projects from school. nice to see people talking knives on here. I have a konosuke hd 240mm gyuto and a kikuichi 240 which I really love.

this one was painted off the top of my head. it's supposed to be like the mono - you are there album art. it's some sort of flour less chocolate cake I'm pretty sure.

self explanatory. no idea what kind of cake this was
