M & M Pie

This, my friends, is the best recipe in the history of the Odyssey online journal. This recipe combines history, ingenuity, creativity and mystery. Those words all encapsulate this incredibly important and fine-tuned recipe that, until now, has never been released to the public. This recipe has seen many years of life. For nearly 13 years it has floated in the atmosphere just waiting to be discovered, and I have found it.

I plan to give it its earned glory. This recipe for a dessert dish is so incredible that I have been hesitant to share it before, but I think I am finally ready to release it into the wind like aspen leaves in the fall. This recipe will change your life and it came from an extremely unlikely creator. A kindergarten student. Now, I know what your are thinking and I realize that spun you for a loop, but mark my words, this impeccable piece of culinary mastery is only possible to find deep in the constantly working synapses of a child’s mind. My gosh, I have waited for so many years for this day to come, and it is finally here. I can hardly control my emotions. This release is like the ribbon cutting for a new era in baking. Well, without further ado and fluffing, I present to you my very own kindergarten recipe for M & M Pie. Careful, you just might learn something.

M & M Pie

What you need:

4 pieces of M & M candy

2 Eggs

Chocolate Syrup

1 Cup sugar

More Sugar

More Eggs

Mix it up and bake the pie in the oven for 10 hours on five degrees. Take it out and cool it. Then eat it!

And so folks, there you have it: the imagination, ignorance and wonderful mind of a child all wrapped up into one fantastic recipe for M & M Pie.

Throw caution to the wind, do not be afraid to add more sugar or more eggs, even when you’re not quite sure how it will work out.

Mix it up. When you’re feeling dissatisfied with your life, seek out new opportunities that will make you happy. You deserve it.

Persevere even when you’re not sure it will be worth the effort. Baking a pie for 10 hours on just five degrees might just leave you with cold dough, but maybe that’ll be the next big thing (I can see it now… “fro dough”). Forget the temperature. If you put in the time and effort, perhaps something great will come out of it.

Don’t forget balance in your life. Don’t make everything about the flash and the show. Limit yourself to four M & Ms so you can go pursue bigger, more meaningful ventures, like creating the perfect dough that will hold everything together.

And most of all, don’t forget to allow yourself wiggle room when it comes to a task. Allow your creativity to push outside of conventional boundaries; don’t get stuck in the box.

You may not see it now, but you are a wonderful inspiration, a hard worker and a recipe with potential. You may need to make some changes in your life, but that doesn’t mean you have to throw out your dough. Kneed it, or in other words, don’t throw out who you are to be what you see as a success. The only person you need to make proud is you. That’s all that matters, so just keep on mixing my friend.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
