A Cup of Cake

Image from Google

My cherubs had some friends over for some weekend fun!

Pizza, playing, a movie  . . .and dessert!

I didn't have the time or energy to make a dessert for tonight,

but I remembered Ms. Kaye had given me a recipe a long time ago for

"A Cup of Cake."

Now with pinterest, and google, and other media in the palm of our hands, one can find this type of recipe most anywhere.

But with the girls, I thought they might enjoy making their own "cup-cake!"

I have to be honest;  I'm not too in love with the taste.

But the concept is fun!

All of the ingredients are out and the recipe is hanging on the cabinet door, and girls are gathered around the kitchen island laughing, and dumping, and stirring, and microwaving, and before you know it -- you have your own little dessert!

With all the love and good times that goes into making the dessert, it kind of makes up for the slightly bland taste!

A Cup of Cake

4 TBSP flour
4 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP cocoa
1 egg, beaten
3 TBSP water
3 TBSP oil
a splash of vanilla
2-3 TBSP chocolate chips

In a large coffee mug, sprayed with Pam, add the flour, sugar, and cocoa.  Stir well to mix. 

In a measuring cup, add the egg, water, oil, and vanilla.  Add to the dry ingredients and stir well.  Dump in the chocolate chips.  Stir.

Put in the microwave for 3 minutes.  The cake will rise above the cup, but don't worry!  It shouldn't make a mess!  Allow to cook.  Remove from the microwave and cool a few minutes before enjoying!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
