Volcano Cake

I would never have thought that I could make a cake in under 10 minutes using the microwave, but it’s possible with a rice cooker.  The Pampered Chef has this recipe for a “volcano cake” that uses their rice cooker and it so unbelievably easy.  Seriously, this is the cake that a 2 year old […]

Cool Whip & Raspberry Summer Sensation

I had completely forgotten about this recipe book I picked up at the grocery store. All it has are recipes made from Jell-O and Cool Whip. A lot of them look really easy, but would make a great presentation. The type of presentation that will make you look like an excellent cook. So I went […]

White Chocolate Velvet Cake

This is a twist on the Chocolate Velvet Cake recipe from the Pampered Chef. The idea of replacing the devil’s food cake with the angel food cake seemed simple enough when I wanted to do something with white chocolate.  The cake came out well enough, however, I have made some slight adjustments to the original […]

Quick & Easy Breakfast Cookies

This was one of those “why not” moments I had awhile ago.  The three of us tend to have pancakes pretty regularly, but we always have leftover batter.  Before, I would end up making up the batter and/or throwing it away because no one liked cold or reheated pancakes.  Then I got the idea of […]

Cinnamon Coffee Cake

So the hubby found this recipe and requested that I make it (so he could take it to work). It is rather simple and quick. All of the hubby’s co-workers also just loved it (they’ve requested that I make 2 pans next time…and that next time is rather soon:-)). I added about 1/2 tablespoon of […]
