Pasta salad by pictures, step by step
As one picture tells more than 1000 words...
1: put to bowl some green lettuce, add a little olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper and mix. Put slices of tomato to bowl as picture.
2: add cooked pasta on lettuce.
3: add grated carrots and mushrooms (you can cook them few minutes in oil if you like and spice as you like).
4: add sliced cucumber and corn.
5: put on salad 2 boiled eggs, each cutted to 4 parts, add some salt and pepper (or other spices&herbs you prefer).
As you can see, salad is very simple but looks nicer when different incredients are layered by they own. And of course, using different vegetables you will get again new kind of salad.
Preparation method
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 5 mins | Extra time: 4 hours, setting
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, golden syrup, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and sugar. Knead dough and form it into balls with a cherry wrapped in the middle. The balls should be approximately the size of walnuts. Place balls in the freezer to chill.
2. In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips and margarine together. Dip the cooled balls in the chocolate, let set on baking parchment.
Ingredients
If cocktail cherries (also known as maraschino cherries) aren't available, substitute in glace cherries. It must be noted that the two aren't the same thing. Glace cherries are candied and a lot sweeter.

1. Grease a 22x33cm (9x13 in) tin with oil or butter.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the vanilla. Melt the marshmallows into the butter, stirring. Add the cereal when the marshmallows have melted; stir until cereal is coated.

Where's the CHOCOLATE?! I prefer chocolate ones!
I have to have chocolate in every dessert... It's absolutely delicious, funnily enough I don't like it as a chocolate bar but give me desserts and puddings made of CHOCOLATE...
Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Extra time: 30 mins, cooling
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cocoa, butter and condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let rest until cool enough to handle. Form into small balls and eat at once or chill until serving.
To decorate
Roll the balls in chocolate-flavour strands for a traditional Brazilian touch!
mmmmm at all the chocolate, how about some main courses
As respecting request of sister Qurratul Ayn, I have to put this recipe the next:
Beef Strips in Dark Chocolate Marinate
Ingredients:
Beef 1 lb
Bittersweet Chocolate 2 tbsps
Honey 2 tsps
Broth 8 tbsps
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 4 tbsps
Ginger Powder 2 tsps
Hot Habanero Peppers to taste
Black Pepper Corns to taste
Salt to taste
Bay Leaves
Cut the lean beef meat in small strips (1 inch length, 1/2 inch wide).
In a large pan, big enough to contain all the beef strips, mix beef broth, honey, olive oil, ginger powder, peppercorn, bay leaves and Habanero peppers powder (if desired). Adjust of salt and add 2 tablespoons of grated unsweetened dark chocolate. Stir well to mix all the ingredients and lay in the pan the beef strips.
Let marinate the meat for about 1 hour, making sure that the meat is all covered in the marinate. Mix at half time, if desired.
Transfer the beef strips in a large non stick pan and cook the meat for about 3-4 minutes or until ready. When the meat is cooked, add the remaining marinate juices and stir quickly. Turn off the heat.
Add all over the meat some unsweetened grated dark chocolate. The beef strips are now ready to be served.
Perfect with a side of steamed rice, a light salad or with mashed or baked potatoes.
Tips:
To cut the beef in strips, you can freeze the meat for about one hour. The almost frozen meat will be easy to cut in the pieces of the desired size.
The best results can be obtained with an high quality extra dark chocolate. Prefer chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa.
Allah made everyone different thats what makes them special,so no matter what ppl say just remember you're SPECIAL!! "You are with the one you love"
