Crazy in the Kitchen!

Today, I decided to get into the kitchen a little and try some quick treats for the family.

The first I made was a super simple cake...And when I say super simple, 

I do mean SUPER SIMPLE!

Yep, you see right. Only 2 ingredients!

Ingredients:

One box of classic yellow cake mix, any brand

One 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the pumpkin and the cake mix with a mixer until smooth.

NOTE: This mix is much thicker than standard cake batter. It does not effect the quality of the cake at all.

Put in a 7" X 11" greased pan and spread it out.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

I let mine cool and topped with Cool Whip whipped topping.

Everyone in the family LOVED it!

After that, I decided to experiment a bit.

A friend of mine seen a tip and wondered if it worked or if she was going to end up with a heck of a mess to clean up. Well, this IS what I do right?

 

So this is the premise, you bake eggs in the oven rather than boil them.

Here are my 6 little guinea pigs sitting in their muffin tin in a 325 degree oven.

I baked them for 30 minutes.

After letting them cool, I cracked one open.

 

It cooked perfectly!

The taste, texture, everything was the same and best of all,

NOTHING EXPLODED!

I'll be honest, I fully expected to be blogging tomorrow about the major mess I was going to have to be cleaning up from them tonight.

Sometimes you just have to step out on a limb to find a neat new trick!

I know I promised a super simple one serving cake, but I discovered at the last minute I was missing a key ingredient!

I will be adding it in tomorrow's post when I talk about Fall Cleaning and sharing some of my favorite cleaning tips. 

I will also be sharing a recipe for the ONLY glass cleaner I will EVER use.

I can't wait for the fun tomorrow!
