How To Make: White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Hola, guys! I haven't really been on here that much, so I decided to give you guys another recipe! Here's how to make White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake!!
 
3 tablespoons chocolate cookie crumbs
 
1-3/4 teaspoons white sugar
 
2-1/4 teaspoons butter, melted
 
1/4 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries
 
1 teaspoon white sugar
 
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
 
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons water
 
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
 
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons half-and-half cream
 
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
 
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons white sugar
 
1/2 eggs
 
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
 
2. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
 
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
 
4. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate.
Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
 
5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.

Movie Review: The Call

Movie Review: The Call
So a few weeks ago I went to see The Call starring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin. I loved the movie and I think that others would too so here is a detailed review and rating for the movie.
 
Brief Description:
When veteran 911 operator, Jordan (Halle Berry), takes a life-altering call from a teenage girl (Abigail Breslin) who has just been abducted, she realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl's life. (http://www.call-movie.com/site/)
 
Review:
 
So given the description, the trailer and the plot you would think that this is the same old story and there is nothing knew. I will admit that the story is a bit predictable however, even in its predictability there are tons of parts throughout the movie that I would have never guess could happen. This movie was definitely good, just for the fact that you felt the need to tell the character what to do in its given situation and you were desperately waiting to learn what happens next
 
Unexpectedly, there were some scenes of the movie that made you think it was a scary movie. There were some graphic scenes, some of which I had to look away from the screen for a moment but overall that did not affect my rating on how well the movie was.
 
I personally was glad that I saw the movie and did not feel like it was a rip-off at all.
 
I give this movie and 8 and 1/2 out of 10 stars
 
If you have any questions about the movie feel free to ask me in a comment or pm us

How To Make: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes!
Hi, guys! Shaylin here and I wanted to share something that is a huge part of my family. Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes!! Ever since I was a little kid, my mom would make these, so here is the recipe::
 
COOKIE DOUGH FILLING:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
 
CUPCAKES:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 
COOKIE DOUGH FROSTING:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
GARNISH:
additional mini chocolate chips
12 mini Chips Ahoy cookies
______________________________________
Directions:
1. Prepare the cookie dough filling (see *Tips below): In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to stir together the butter, sugars, milk and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients and the chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the cookie dough is firm. Scoop out dough in 2 tablespoon scoops and place it on a cookie sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.
 
2. Prepare the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 liners. Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and salt in a blender. Blend to combine. Add the water, oil, egg and vanilla. Blend to combine, scraping down the sides as needed a couple of times until all is well mixed. Divide the batter between the 12 cupcake liners. Drop a ball of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough into the center of each cupcake. If you would like the cookie dough to bake up slightly, keep the top visible as pictured in the post. If you'd like to keep the cookie dough somewhat raw, push it to the bottom of the cupcake wrapper, making sure that the batter comes up and over the dough.
 
3. Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake portion of the cupcake (not tested through the center where the dough is), comes out fairly clean. Cool the cupcakes completely before adding the frosting.
 
4. Prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Mix in the flour, milk and vanilla and continue to mix until all is well combined.
 
5. Assemble: Frost cupcakes with a knife or scoop the frosting into a piping bag and pipe it on decoratively. Sprinkle mini chips on top and garnish with a small chocolate chip cookie.
 
Tips:
*You don't necessarily have to melt the butter and refrigerate the dough before scooping. The melted butter just helps the sugar dissolve a bit more so you don't have that grainy texture in the cookie dough. It is necessary to freeze it though.

What If...my BFF hates the guy I like?

What If...my BFF hates the guy I like?
Hey Maya here with a request from @ceceliabr !
 
I know this situation must suck to be in! You might think you will have to let your BFF or this perfect guy go. But, with some patience, you can have both!
 
First..here are some questions you need to ask yourself.
 
-Why does my friend not like this guy?
-Why do I like him?
-(If you aren't dating already) Would we be a couple or just hang out together as friends?
-Does your friend act like a total jerk around the guy, or does she keep it low about hating him?
-Does this guy like me back?
 

Here are some things you should know...
 
-If your friend is jealous....she will act like a jerk, especially when the guy you like is tagging along with the two of you. Maybe you are spending more time with him than with her. Budget your time better and make sure you spend almost equal amounts of time with both people. If your friend is still mad, just try and talk to her. Play matchmaker maybe even! If she likes another guy you can make it funny by trying to get them together in silly ways! It might cheer her up!
 
-Is this girl really your friend? Is she just acting up and being a drama queen for no reason? Sadly, especially in high school, we often come to realize that the girls we hung out with 24/7 were never really our friends. A true friend would letyou be happy in your relationship and not interfere.
 
-Somtimes people are blinded by love. Now, I'm not saying this is the case, but does your friend see a side of him you don't see? Listen to her, maybe she has something important to say. It's possible that this guy isn't everything you thought he was.
 

Ways to have both your friend and your guy...
 
-Talk to them both about the situation. If you're desparate, make sure you really play up the "I don't want to be caught in the middle, you should feel bad for me" card. Usually just talking about it can help.
 
-Spend time with both people. Go on cute dates with you boyfriend on Friday nights and hang out with your girlfriends on Saturday, for example.
 
-Just act casual! Brush off the situation as much as you can, especially if you get it worked out. Your friend can personally not like your boyfriend, but if she can't contain it and she acts like a jerk, something is up.
 
@ceceliabr , I hope this helps! I know what you are going through must really suck. Please let me know what you think about this tip or if it helpled you!
