Easy Step-by-Step Rice Crispy Squares Recipe: The Perfect Summer Snack

I had a recent craving for something sweet and crunchy. Since it's the summertime, I thought about the summers of my childhood. What was the one essential sweet ingredient I had with friends and family? My mind bounced from memory to memory. All seemed to revolve around camping...of fires burning and cinders crackling as I held in my hands a twig with a large, fluffy marshmallow skewered. En garde! The marshmallow is to be sacrificed for my sweet tooth's happiness! After the marshmallow's snowy white turned into a light toasty brown, I remember that I would sandwich it safely between two crunchy pieces of graham crackers and a sweet piece of chocolate. Mmmmm...S'mores heaven! ^_^

Unfortunately, I was not in the wilderness; I did not have a large bonfire at hand nor did I have any graham crackers. :( So the second best thing would be to make Rice Crispy Squares! :)

I like this recipe a lot because it is simple and it turns out well every time just as long as you follow the steps to a tee with patience as your guide. With just several ingredients, several steps of instruction, and several kitchen equipment to wash after all the baking is done, you will have a nice-looking snack (who doesn't like to see ooey-gooey sugary goodness?) that is sure to please all sweet-toothed friends.

Banzai Sushi and Teriyaki House: Good rice bowls, okay sushi

To all of you that bought a Dealfind voucher for Banzai sushi, I hope you used it…. O_o

Just so you know, yesterday (Friday, January 6, 2012) was the last day to use the $30 voucher.

I was so glad that I checked my coupon list yesterday and discovered that it was expiring. Otherwise, it would have been $15 down the drain….. o_O

The décor at Banzai sushi is simplistic. There are wooden tables surrounding the focal point of the restaurant, the kitchen and the cashier’s desk.

 

 

The straight and clear cut design of the restaurant shows patrons that this place means business. Its business is to feed the masses efficiently and effectively.

The Anatomy of a GOOD burger: A & W Teen burger

Typically, A & W burgers are considered run-of-the-mill. Why? Well, they come from an American restaurant franchise with a set recipe.

 

Generally speaking, the recipe would call for a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato and pickle, as well as some mayo, ketchup, and mustard. If you’re lucky, they may throw in a slice of cheese and bacon! 

 

Alberta King of Subs: A flavourful and bountiful meal fit for a king!

Welcome to my first blog post! Thank you for dropping by! :) For my first post, I will be reviewing Alberta King of Subs. This restaurant of goodness is located in the northeast part of Calgary. Snuggled in a small strip mall with a gas station, you will find yourself discovering goodness like this:

For our weekly special treat, my boyfriend went to Alberta King of Subs to pick up the 12-inches Jester sub (with finely sliced pieces of steak, smoked meat, and fried onions at $12.95)  and a regular smoked meat poutine ($9.75).
