It's National Junk Food Day this July 21st and what better way to celebrate than to create your own junk food from recipes and play some junk food games.

This day can be your chance to indulge in anything that's bad for you, from doughnuts to burgers and if you don't want to ruin your diet, then why not play some online games instead?

Since this day comes just once a year, go ahead and splurge.

Here are just a few games to get you started:
Name that Candy Bar: can you guess what the chocolate could be just be looking at a cross section?

Ben and Jerry's Cowabunga: Get your cow to do tricks to collect points, but avoid the obstacles!

Or feel like wanting to try some recipes instead?

1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour

With the variety of doughnuts in sight, the urge to taste each one of them is never less. Although thinking of all the carbo and calories contents, there is still time where you can reward yourself to your favourite doughnuts. Hope you'll like the photo. Feel free to visit my flickr.
