Poor Jack, all he really wanted to do was finish his book. Unfortunately for him and his family, that Winter they picked the wrong isolated hotel to do so in. Let’s be honest for a second here, is there ever really a good option for an isolated hotel? If you ask me, It’s kind of along the lines of never having sex in the woods. Back to the point, ghosts appear, insanity sets in, and that’s when stuff really begins to pop off. Then it’s time to get infamous lines such as “Redrum”, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and my personal favorite ” Heeeere’s Johnny”. The Shinning is chilling, mystical, a complete psychological tug of war, and every aspect of it makes me want to cook a feast. So let’s cook!
Dull Boy Buns
Don’t let the title fool you, these buns are anything but dull. The addition of spices and herbs takes any basic bun and turns it into a ax wielding maniac.
Ingredients:
– 4 Hamburger Buns
– 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
– Onion Powder
– Fresh Chives
Directions:
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Lightly brush the tops of each bun with a little of the butter. Sprinkle a pinch of onion powder and chives over each. Toast in the oven on a baking sheet with the settings to broil for 3-5 minutes.

Redrum Cake Shake
I’m a sucker for anything red velvet. Maybe it’s the blood red color, or just the fact that it’s topped with cream cheese. Who knows. What I do know though, is that when I put it in shake form my red velvet intake is at max speed and I love it.
Ingredients:
– 1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix, Plus ingredients needed from the back of box
– 1/2 Cup Cream Cheese, Plus 1 Tablespoon (per shake), Softened
– 1 Tablespoon Rum
– 3 Big scoops Vanilla Ice Cream (per shake)
– 1/2 Cup Milk (per shake)
Directions:
Bake cake according to directions, except add 1/2 Cup Cream Cheese and 1 Tablespoons Rum to the cake batter.
In a blender put 1 big slice of cake, Ice cream, milk, and 1 Tablespoon cream cheese. Blend until smooth. If you want to leave the shake slightly chunky with cake then do not blend as smooth. Top off with a little crumbled cake.
