Yesterday, I had a huge craving for chocolate cake without frosting. So, I grabbed a cake mix (because I wanted to make it fast) After I had poured the cake batter into the pan, I had a stroke of brilliance hit me! I got out a microwave bowl. In the bowl, I "melted" or microwaved 1/4 cup peanut butter til it was sort of runny. Then, I added 1/4 milk and stirred til it was smooth. I poured the mixture into the the cake pan and swirled it around.
After I baked it, we tried it without frosting it. It tasted very similar to peanut butter bars, only light and fluffy. Yum!
Happy eating!

It's Been Awhile
It has been awhile since I could post anything. I have been really sick the last little while, and sadly, it totally killed my creativity and desire to cook. My apologies.
Yesterday was the first day in awhile that I actually did any cooking. I didn't even do it all myself either. Anyway, I discovered some time ago that broiling chicken is much tastier than cooking it on the stove in a frying pan. Last night, my husband expressed an interest in learning how I prepare the chicken to be broiled so he could do it for me.
"It's really easy," I said. He replied with "I will watch and learn." I then was struck with inspiration, and proceeded to "teach" him to cook the chicken in the voice of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets. He found that pretty funny...
Well, I am going to make more of an effort to actually post, now that I am feeling somewhat better.
Cheer!
