I generally only use cake mixes to make cookies, but I saw a recipe similar to this and decided since I’m trying to keep my girlish figure, plus have my cake and eat it too, I’d give this recipe a try. I was very surprised with how moist and rich these cupcakes were.
Those of you with kids in school know how hectic mornings can be. Mom and Dad are trying to get the kids dressed and fed and the kids are trying to find time to play with every toy they own, all before it’s time to leave for school. It’s pure chaos. In our home, we’ve come up with a method that helps us provide our kids with a good, nutritious breakfast without taking a lot of time.
Last night I prepared to make dinner by looking at my list to see what I’d planned for that night. I’d written “Sesame Chicken Noodles.” Confused, I pulled out my collection of most commonly used cookbooks and my list of handwritten recipes, hoping to find one entitled, “Sesame Chicken Noodles.” It was nowhere to be found.

This is one of my favorite side dishes and it’s so easy to make. Plus it gets rid of leftovers. These potato pancakes are a great alternative to greasy french fries and are a nice change.
To keep myself from going on a sugar binge every day, I make these delicious, little, oatmeal raisin cookies and keep them in the fridge. When I get the urge to shove a snickers bar in my face, I’ll eat one of these little babies and I find myself satisfied until my next sugar craving.

The Care Bears’ Party Cookbook. Just looking at the cover brings back a lot of childhood memories. One thing I remember well is the “Care-A-Lot Candy.” We made this quite often, and as a little girl I felt extremely proud I could make it myself.
