Honey chemotherapy. Dangerous Chocolate Cake. My mama e-emailed this recipe to me, and I'm not sure whether she did it because she loves me, or she wants me to die of dessert overdose.

Dangerous Chocolate Cake

It's a chocolate cake in a mug!! HELLO! I ate it for lunch today, because I decided that it would take less time to make than a turkey sandwich. Maybe that's not true, and I ate it today because it's chocolate cake in a mug, but you get the point. 5 Minute Chocolate Cake Recipe 4 tablespoons flour4 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons cocoa1 egg3 tablespoons milk3 tablespoons oilA small splash of vanilla extract1 large coffee mug Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). Individual Monkey Breads. Biscuits, butter, sugar, cinnamon.

Individual Monkey Breads.

I think that’s all I need to say about this one. This stuff is astoundingly good. I grew up with monkey bread, but have never made it with this method - it works wonderfully. I think we’re planning on selling these mini ones at the farmers market. Be careful if you use jumbo muffin cups like i did, the butter mixture spillled out a lot and got in the bottom of the oven. Monkey Breadfrom Ryan via The Pioneer Woman 3 cans Buttermilk biscuits (not the flakey kind)1/2 cup brown sugar1 cup sugar2-3 teaspoons cinnamon2 sticks butter Preheat the oven to 350. Open up all three cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.

Next, combine the white sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon. 3 will be really cinnamon-y. Drop all of the biscuit quarters into a bundt pan (or jumbo muffin cups). Melt the butter with the brown sugar in a sauce pan over medium-high heat until combined. Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.

Pumpkin Pie Bites. I’ve been in a mini-mood lately when it comes to baking and these bite-sized pies met my big craving.

Pumpkin Pie Bites

They are really, really easy. Let me show ya. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I used ready to roll refrigerated pie crust. It comes two to a box and if you roll each round pie crust a little bit thinner with a rolling pin, you can get 24 mini pumpkin-shaped pie crusts out of them. Make sure you use all the dough scraps and re-roll to maximize quantities. Then, stuff each one in a mini muffin baking pan. Press the dough down, in and around the edge of each muffin cup. Fill each pie crust with pumpkin filling all the way to the top. When they come out of the oven, they’ll be puffed up like this.

Single Serving Pie in a Jar. These are individual-sized pies made in little glass jars that can go straight from your freezer to your oven to your mouth.

SO cute. You can make these with store-bought crust and canned filling or jazz it up with homemade like we do. And just for added cuteness we teamed up with crafting expert Lolly for some personalized tags. These are just about the best little gift from the kitchen you could share with someone! Pie in Jar This is the type of jar you’ll need. Blueberry Crumb Cake. I had approximately one million blueberries in my refrigerator yesterday.

They were left over from the Fourth of July and after making blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins over the weekend, I’d barely made a dent in the stash. Jam Crumb Cake. Does anyone watch The Shield?

Jam Crumb Cake

Kramer and I have breezed through the first four seasons in a very short period of time. I’m not sure what’s so addicting about it, but I really like the show! I’m surprised, too, because I’m usually not a fan of cop dramas. FX does it again! We also found out today that LOST starts on February 2, 2010. I needed to bake something quickly the other day, and I have had this jam cake recipe in my bookmarks for years, but for some reason, I had never gotten around to making it. Your ingredients. Combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Beat together your melted butter, milk, and egg. Beat in the flour and make sure to scrape down the side of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined.

Pour the cake into a greased cake pan (if you can line the pan with a circular cut-out of parchment paper, then spray that with Pam, that’s the best way to do it because you can just plop the cake right out of the pan). Salted Chocolate “Twix” Bars. We’re watching our friend’s cat right now, and it’s a lot of fun.

Salted Chocolate “Twix” Bars

Kramer and I want to get a pet so badly, but I just don’t think that I have the time, energy, or, frankly, money, to take care of an animal the way I would like to. For now, though, it’s just fun to pretend to have a pet for a week. His name is Eddie and he’s pretty funny. I’ve never had a cat before, but Kramer grew up with them so he’s more accustomed to their behavior than I am. My dog at home, Tessa, is always so interested in what you’re up to and even sleeps under the covers at the foot of the bed, which I love and miss so much!
