UNhealthy recipies wanted for a good cause.


Quote  |  Reply

To explain: my ex has asked me for help on an extremely interesting project/a laugh going on with his Uni's Union: the Union runs a "Healthy Week" about bi or triannually, and this year, for a laugh, are hosting an "Unhealthy Week" too. He has a lot of charge in it, and in particular in the formation of a recipe book of totally or largely unhealthy and high-calorie meals, snacks, desserts and drinks.

The point of the unhealthy week is actually to stress the importance of balance, apparently; ultimately they want people to remember that, in a day and age of so much focus on diet diet diet and weight weight weight, it's okay to indulge once in a while.

As part of the week they will also be promoting positive body image campaigns, including a prologue in the recipe book on the importance of self-acceptance and of moderation. The sales of the book will be going largely to charities and (okay, this might have been my influence slightly!) some of the money from the book sales will be going to b-eat - the UK Eating Disorder charity.

I've got SOME ideas, and I am somewhat drawing from sources like the Heart Attack Grill (replicating a triple bypass burger? I think YES!), This is Why You're Fat and Pimp That Snack but if anyone would be gracious enough to share ideas I would appreciate it. They needn't be totally mindblowing ridiculous - rather, fairly high calorie, but enjoyable, and DOABLE.

So, got a truly wicked recipe you'd like to share in the name of good and raising money? Or even just an idea? Let me know! And no, you don't need to list the caloric content. The book falls into fours:

Snacks and Sides - this is for your starters, dips, side dishes, snacks and otherwise. Sweet or savoury.
Mains - breakfast, lunch, dinner. Savoury.
Desserts - pud pud pud! Sweet.
Drinks - yes, including RIDICULOUS cocktails. These are Uni students, after all.

These! Clone of a Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.

Either that or chocolate caramel brownies with nuts.

Cocktails? EASY. The worst one out there is a white russian. You can toss a scoop of ice cream in it if you wanna get bad. Drizzled with chocolate syrup? That's what I'm talkin about.

For my work carry in's I am always asked to bring in my homemade PB Pie...very easy receipe...very fattening! And VERY deliscious!!

Filling- 1 package of cream cheese- 1 cup of peanut butter- 3/4 cup of sugar- 1 tbsp of vanilla- 8 oz of  cool whip. Beat all of these ingredinates together and fill in the pie.  Freeze for 3-4 hours
