And they were yummy too. We just ate it off the tree.

Italian inspired muffins

For this I actually used a blueberry muffin recipe – leaving out the sugar and the blueberries, and substituting olive oil for the boring vegetable oil. Added garlic, salt, pepper, basil, grated cheese and some terrible looking spice mixture for pesto (now really…), but they turned out to be fab.

5 minute chocolate cake

I got this recipe from a friend of mine a while ago, but never got around trying it. Today, after a busy day at work, rather, another busy day at work, I decided to give it a try. And it turned out YUMMY!! Mind you, my camera is at work, both of my cameras actually, so no photo. I don’t want to mess with my cell phone camera now, it wouldn’t do justice anyway.

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)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

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!

Truth be told, it really is too servings.  And it does need a serving of vanilla ice cream to go with it

yums

The sweet potato soup. I’ve already stirred it. It was again a life saver.
