Pumpkin Spice Syrup

2 cups cane sugar
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1 Tbs pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup pumpkin puree

Bring the sugar and water to a simmer on a low flame until the sugar is dissolved. Add in the remaining ingredients and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Strain the mixture twice and store in airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
The recipe should make around 4 cups total.
Pour the syrup over everything you eat because it's delicious and will make you happy (just kidding, don't do that because you will probably end up feeling sick.).

Broccoli Chicken Stirfry

Chicken breasts thinly sliced
Broccoli (fresh or frozen)
Cashews (optional)
Teriyaki sauce
Other random tings that you find in your freezer/pantry (baby corn, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts...?)

Marinate the chicken in olive oil, salt, pepper and ginger (you can marinate it for a few hours or a few minutes, the more it marinates the more flavor it will have.). Pour some oil into an appropriately sized pan and let the chicken start cooking. When the chicken looks like its mostly done (if you can't tell you can take out a bigger piece and cut it in half. If it's pink inside its still raw, if it's white you probably won't die from salmonella.) throw in the broccoli and pour on the sauce. Let the broccoli steam (or defrost, if it was frozen) and then toss some cashews on top to make it look fancy.
I recommend serving it over rice but you can eat it plain or with whatever else you like eating stirfry with.

You can use as much chicken as you want just add the other stuff accordingly. If you're using 4-5 chicken breasts you'll probably want an entire recipe of sauce, but if you're making a single serving you probably should probably use less.

1/2 tsp allspice

Oil the tiny donut pans and find some way to get the batter from the bowl into the pans. A piping bag is recommended but feel free to experiment with other more creative ways of transportation if you feel like it. Bake in oven until they look done.
Or, follow a normal persons directions...
