Oh pizza how everybody loves pizza. Its just so magical and it can be eaten at any time f the day and a lot of foods can not say that. You can have it in the morning after a rough night, in the afternoon for lunch, or even for dinner. You can have it any where or anytime and nobody is going to judge you. But how good is it? That’s the question that seperates the good joints from the bad pizza joints. At Three Brothers in New Jersey, is possibly the best pizza you will ever have. One slice will fill you up and leave you with the feeling, “Am I in Heavn?” well that’s what I thought when I first tasted it. I have a house down there on the shore and I probably go to this pizza place for every single one of my meals when I’m down there. They have plain cheese, pepperoni, buffalo chicken, white, Hawaiian, etc…every kind of pizza you can think of is there and there is no doubt in my mind that it’s the best in the world. The way the crust is made, how think and crunchy but soft it is… and the cheese, don’t even get me started on the cheese, just smelling it makes your mouth water, you can be blind and still have your mouth water. And just the looks of this beauty we call a pizza is just such a sight it should be in a museum. I’m sorry but you haven’t lived until you have been to Three Brothers in New Jersey. Its just one more thing to add to your bucket list and I can cross it off my bucket list at least 500 times. It is that good! Tim K.

The other week my friend Lauren and I made cinnamon rolls and it was the best thing i have ever baked. We bought crescent rolls and mixed cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, brown sugar, butter, and a little bit of salt which we spread over the rolls. We rolled them up and put them into the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 min and then mixed confectioners' sugar and milk and put that into a plastic bag. We cut the tip of the bag and after the rolls cooled we drizzled the glaze over it. It was so sweet and a great treat to make!

For this April vacation I went to Jamaica. We stayed at the Hilton all-inclusive resort so all the food was free. One of the things that Jamaica is most known for is its jerk seasoning. It is a seasoning that is slightly spicy that they put on almost every kind of meat. Chicken, pork, sausage any meat you can think of, they have it with jerk. Not only meat but they also put it in soup. My favorite jerk product had to be the chicken. It was amazing! The chicken was juicy and moist with a little heat. To go with the meat they had a jerk sauce that added spice. Since I am not really a person who likes spicy things, I didn’t eat it with the sauce, however people seemed to rave about it. Although you could get the chicken at any restaurant or buffet, during the middle of the day a person would bring a cart to the beach. In the cart it had the chicken, the jerk sauce and a thing called a festival. Festival is pretty much a dough sort of pastry. It tastes kind of like a dense sweet roll. They were great too. No matter what time of day it was, I was always in the mood for jerk chicken. The day before we were going to leave, my mom and her friend went to all the local shops in search of the jerk seasoning. That was how much we wanted it. Eventually they found it in a shopping center and brought two big bags of it home with us. At first I was afraid to eat at the resort because normally an all-inclusive place did not have good food, but it actually was really good. Our trip to Jamaica was not only a relaxing vacation but also a culinary adventure! -Christina Moore

Cookie Bars Cookie bars are a fun treat that everyone loves! They are cookies made from anything you want! My favorite is a S’mores Crumble Bar. Making this item was very fun yet a little challenging. It consisted of Chocolate, graham crackers, and Marshmallows as it main ingredients. When combined, these three complement each other deliciously. You may know the taste from the common campfire snack, S’mores. The S’more Cookie Crumble bar I made tasted just like a S’more, but in cookie formation. Making the cookie bar was really fun. Other kids in my class made all different types of cookie bars. Some made “Slutty brownies” which is a cookie with an Oreo layer and brownies on top. Others made peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough bar. As you can see, there are many different options when choosing what type of cookie bar to make. If you want to get creative, this is great for bringing to a social gathering or party. They don’t take too long to bake and they sure are tasty! When making yours, get creative! Makenzie C.

Have you ever noticed that Newtown has about three shops just for ice-cream? They aren’t spread that far apart either, they all are in close proximity to the center of town. Although there are three shops selling the same product, we as residence have found a way to differentiate the three. The very first shop we had was the one across from our Saint Rose Church, which I believe is just called The Ice-cream Shop, but I could be wrong. This classic was the place to go in its thriving years, as it has all types of ice-cream, including sundaes, soda floats, and one of my favorites, snow cones. The shop can be said to resemble an ice-cream truck except located on a busy road and attached to the ground. If you’re not in the mood for real filling ice-cream, this is the place to go for its light truck like essence. The next shop that opened up, for my luck, down the street from me is the Creamery. The Creamery has been wowing its customers since the day it opened. Located on a dairy farm run by a Newtown family, these folks only use the fresh milk from their cows to make home-made ice-cream. Here you can find all types of creative names for flavors such as 302 chocolate moo (chocolate fudge) and the grasshopper (mint). It’s been known that people from surrounding towns come to the Creamery for their ice-cream, as it’s the “best in the state”. Although the creamery is only open in the late spring through summer, they offer customers to buy gallons of ice-cream to hold them over through the winter. The Creamery is THE place for real hearty home-made ice-cream. The final place that opened just this past year is actually a chain shop. The frozen yogurt shop, Peachwave can be found across from our Walgreens. This place although a chain, is light and bright in decoration and gives you a health food feel when you walk in the door. Looking at the flavors you will find that most of them are either sugar free or fat free or even both! Also the large area for pick and choose toppings always is switching it up for fan favorites. Half of the toppings bar is fresh fruit and by fresh, they mean it! The other half has the classic toppings along with some new ones like chocolate rocks or graham cracker crumbs. If you’re a health freak or just looking for a light treat on a hot day, Peachwave is the shop for you. So, seeing the different styles of ice-cream we have in our town you can decide which one fits you. Which shop would you choose? The ice-cream truck essence, the home-made farm ice-cream, or the light and healthy treat? Morgan C
