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...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
