One Minute Cake

In desire for a sweet treat? Don't want to make a whole cake... Here is the thing:

You need:

1 box of cake mix (any kind you like, I tried it first with yellow cake mix)

1 small box instant pudding and pie filling (again, any flavor you like, I did vanilla)

1 egg

1 tbsp oil

1tbsp water

Mix cake mix and Pudding powder together (I used a zip lock bag, so the rest of the mixture can be stored in there)

Use a large coffee mug (about the size 1 1/2 to 2 cups) and mix egg, oil, water and 1/2 cup of the cake/pudding mix, stir well, until you have smooth dough

Microwave 65 sec.

DONE!

for additional sweetness, add before microwave 1 tbsp frosting on top of the dough. The frosting will sink to the ground of the mug, during cooking time, if you flip the cake out of the mug on a plate, the frosting is on top!

I will post pictures later, was too busy to eat that thing as long as it was warm!

Cut (with a pizza cutter) triangles out (just like cutting a cake or pizza) Roll them up to rolls starting with the wider side first. Brush them with eggwhite and sprinkle from the outside with the cinnamon sugar.

bake them at 375 F for about 12-15 min until golden brown.

Hot Apple

This is so sweet and delicious and so easy to made, if you decide to make it with or without the Alcohol (just in case your are pregnant or so LOL) it's just yummie and perfect for the cold season. Without alcohol it's also a nice treat for kids

Peel and core the apple and slice it in thin pieces, sprinkle with lemon juice.

Melt the sugar slowly in a saucepan and let it carmalize.

Stir in Apfelkorn or just fill it in cups! That's it, just enjoy

Huehnerfrikassee (Chicken Ragout

Salt, Pepper

Cut and season the chicken with salt an pepper and dust with some flour.

Cook it shortly in the pan without getting brown.

Take it out of the pan.

Clean off the mushrooms and cut them in half. cook them in the oil of the chicken . Dust them with some flour and then fill it up with chicken broth and white wine

Let it boil and then put the chicken back in. At medium heat let it cook for about 20 min. Stir ocaionally.

If you used chicken legs, take them out after cooking time and cut meat off the bones, return to pot. Stir in sour cream and peas. Bring to boil, season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Caiden eats always almost as much as we do, he loves that meal.
