Attention Chocoholics! 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE February 25, 2009

Received this in my email yesterday.  I haven’t tried it, but can’t imagine it’s not delicious!  Please note these pictures were in the email I received, they are not mine.

 

4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

I’m back!! December 7, 2008

Okay everyone,

Sorry about the delay.  It’s been so long that I thought I would just jump right back in with a recipe.  This is something that I made tonight.  It was super super quick and pretty good too.  It wasn’t phenomenal, but it could be tweaked.

Ingredients:

2 lbs of ground beef

2 packages of taco seasoning

2 cups water

2 cups quick cook rice, uncooked

1 cup shredded cheddar

tortilla chips

shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, and other taco toppings

 

In a large saucepan, brown ground beef.  Drain if necessary.  Add taco seasoning and water.  Bring to a boil.  Add rice and return to a boil.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until rice is cooked.

Serve with tortilla chips and other toppings.

Fixed as is, this is a little bland.  Maybe a third packet of seasoning or add onions, minced garlic and garlic powder to the beef as it’s browning.  Some crushed red pepper would add some heat. 

Let me know how you like it and how you fixed it!

Crockpot Turkey Breast December 23, 2007

This recipe is delicious!  The meat comes out moist and filled with TONS of flavor.  It’s very easy and all seasonings are to taste, so it’s very easy to customize it to your family’s tastes.

 1 onion

1 turkey breast

garlic powder

fresh ground black pepper

other seasoning (try Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix.  I usually use Mrs. Dash)

Slice onion and place on the bottom of the crockpot.  Remove skin from the turkey.  Season well with all seasonings (avoid salt; it will dry out the meat).  Cook on low for 8 hours.
