Danger: watch out for that chocolate cake!
Maybe you've seen this out there, but my boss gave this to us at our staff meeting the other day, and though I haven't tried it yet, the idea has much appeal and I know I will be making sure I have all the ingredients in stock so I can make this at whim. Check this out:



5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE



- 4 tablespoons flour

-4 tablespoons sugar

-2 tablespoons cocoa

-1 egg

-3 tablespoons milk

-3 tablespoons oil

-3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional...or not!)

-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.

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).

*****

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night?

Quick 'n easy: taco dip recipe
Photobucket
*
Taco Dip
  • 1 8-oz pkg of cream cheese (low fat may be substituted)
  • 1 8-oz can of Hormel chili, no beans (turkey chili may be substituted)
  • 2-3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

1. Spread softened cream cheese over bottom of glass pie pan

2. Next, spread Hormel chili over the top of the cream cheese

3. Top with the 2-3 cups of cheese (I like a lot of cheese!)

4. Nuke for about 3-5 minutes and serve with tortilla chips. El Ranchero Mexican chips seem to be the best.

This is my fall-back recipe whenever I need something quick & yummy. It's always a huge hit. In fact a bunch of my girlfriends and I are getting together this weekend, and I'm bringing this to the party. Well this, and chocolate cake. To be honest I could eat just this though and be perfectly happy.

Have any quick 'n easy recipes that work every time?
