2 Stews: Cheesecake In A Mug I was telling a friend about my 1-2-3 Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake and kept thinking there had to be equally easy and delicious alternatives. I had some cream cheese and sour cream in the refrigerator and played around with a microwave cheesecake. The first time I overcooked it, but the second time was a charm. It was creamy and delicate from the first bite. This cake is great for people at work, in dorms or if you just want cheesecake...fast! Instead of a crust, I added a crumb topping. Microwave Mug Cheesecake 2 ounces low fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature1/2 cup low fat sour cream1/4 teaspoon vanilla2 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons egg white, slightly beaten (egg whites in a carton work fine)1/2 teaspoon lemon juice1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (prevents liquid from forming) For "mix ins", add 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, or swirl in (not stir) 1 tablespoon jam of choice. or swirl in jam at this time. Microwave on medium for 2 1/2 minutes* (in a 650 watt microwave).

Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Vanilla Sheet Cake I love watching the reaction of my boys sampling my baked goods. I gave them a bite after school a couple days ago of this sheet cake and their expression was priceless. If I left the room, I am afraid the entire plate would have been devoured. Don’t let the cake mix in the recipe scare you away. Try it out for yourself and let me know how that first bite was :) Enjoy!! Here you have your line up of ingredients.

Kids Activities | Organize With Sandy Have you heard of them? OMG… they are So good! What a great activity for the kids! Ours didn’t turn out as fancy as you see them in the Cake Pop book, but the triplets had a great time making them. I saw these Cake Pops and went out and bought the Cake Pops book by Bakerella. I bought all the required items. Cake Mix & supplies needed to make. We decided to go with the very basic cake pop. One thing about baking or cooking. It was a great teaching moment. Thank goodness there were three eggs in the recipe… that’s all I can say! Learning how to use a hand mixer…. and can you believe that none of them lifted it up to early? Then of course once you make cake…. you get to help clean up. Of course since there are two beaters, you have to have the third have the spoon. Bake the cake as usual. They had to read the recipe. They got to crumble up the cake into tiny pieces…. think they had fun with that? I had some homemade awesome frosting left from some cupcakes I had made last week.
16 Hot Sauces You Never Knew Existed When you buy a bottle of hot sauce, you normally base your decision on one factor and one factor only: Will this make me cry like a little girl? Whether you lean “Mild” or “Someone Have 911 on Hold,” the heat is usually the defining characteristic of the condiment. There is another world of hot sauces out there, where heat alone does not define the bottle. Here are the 16 Hot Sauces You Never Knew Existed. 1. Apple Coffee Layer Cake | Cake, Batter, and Bowl I’ve often wondered why I’ve never seen a layered coffee cake. It just seems like stacking coffee cakes on top of each other would make the presentation so much more festive! I recently couldn’t help but try out this idea when I was baking a birthday treat for us to enjoy during one of our weekly morning lab meetings. I felt it was important to cram as many apples as possible into the cake since it’s apple season. Apple Coffee Layer Cake Printable Recipe Ingredients: Apple Layer for Bottom Cake: 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 2 tart apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Cake Layers: 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup canola oil 1 cup buttermilk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4 large eggs, at room temperature 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt To make the cake layers, heat oven to 350˚F.
Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread in a Bundt Pan Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread in a Bundt Pan Hubby and I have some super creative friends. One of these friends decided to host a “Bundt Off”. I searched through all my favorite blogs for bundt cake recipes and saw some great ones out there. I finally decided to combine two of my favorite breakfast foods into one bundt-tastic treat: The Cinnamon-Roll Monkey-Bread Bundt. Hubby grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos as I was assembling my bundt. If I had been making this for us to eat at home, I would have immediately turned it out onto a plate when it came out of the oven. I topped the bundt with some cream cheese frosting. By the way, I didn’t get any good pictures of the bundt turned out with the lovely cream cheese frosting drizzled on it. One Year Ago: Red Velvet Cupcakes and My New Favorite Way to Frost Cupcakes Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread Bundt with Cream Cheese Frosting Yield: 1 bundt, serves 6-8 Ingredients: Directions: Roll dough into a 12x22 inch rectangle. Add vanilla extract.
Cook the Book: Ultimate Sriracha Burger [Photograph: Leo Gong] The Ultimate Sriracha Burger from The Sriracha Cookbook is a mouthful. It begins with a grilled patty infused with Sriracha and soy, and is topped with a towering pile of bacon caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, tomato, arugula, bacon, and an improbably delicious blue cheese-Sriracha dressing. On paper this burger might seem like it has all of the makings for a too much going on overload but once it comes together, it totally works. If you plan on serving these Ultimate Sriracha Burgers for your Super Bowl party, I have a feeling that they would translate beautifully into sliders, perhaps making them a little more manageable by getting rid of the tomato and arugula but hanging on to the onions, bacon, Swiss, and special sauce. As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Sriracha Cookbook to give away this week.
Molten Chocolate Cakes (Easter Dessert) My favourite part of Easter is the chocolate desserts. Molten chocolate cake, aka lava cake or chocolate fondant pudding, is very popular around the world. It is even served in high-end restaurants and is suitable for all occasions. Back to the cake, it’s not that difficult when you actually roll up your sleeves to make this delicious chocolate cake.
