One of those nights

Not that anything particularly stressful happened today, but it was one of those nights when I was just craving sweets. Since I've been trying not to buy junk food (I've heard it is bad for you ... plus I am trying not to spend money frivolously), it was up to me to make something delicious.

Reading Time Chocolate Mug Cake

I was in the mood for something sweet while I relaxed and read on my day off (Sunday is my only day off, so I tried to make the most of it!). 

Luckily My Happy Place had this delicious recipe that I adapted and it was FANTASTIC!!

Chocolate Mug Cake

1 tbsp + 2 tsp cocoa powder

3 tbsp flour

1/8 tsp salt (I just put a little in my hand to be honest)

2 tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp baking powder

3 - 4 tsp oil (depending on how moist you want it, I used a little over 3 and it was perfect)

3 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

Lizz Made Slutty Brownies

Beware, these just may change your life!

This is a serious sweet, delicious, magical treat that should come out on special occasions. However, nothing in made from scratch (I was hesitant, usually scratch is better), but these were unbelievably good!

Thank-you The Londoner for the brilliant recipe. If you don't follow her already, head over, her Anti-Diet recipes will change your life!

All you need is a bag of chocolate chip cookie mix, a box brownie, a package of Oreos (she says two packages, but things are different in Britten and you only need one here in the USA) and misc things like oil, eggs, and butter.

Lizz's Vintage Punch

Having a party? Need a good, non-alcoholic, vintage-esk, but totally fabulous party punch?

Look no further.

I made it for my Grad party a few weeks ago and again today for the 4th because it is that fantastic!

These ingredients filled both these pitchers, with a little left over and was CHEEP!

1 Quart Raspberry Sherbet

2 Liters of Sprite

1/2 Gallon of the Wal-Mart Brand Fruit Punch

Pour equal-ish parts of sprite and fruit punch into a large bowl and mix. Add the sherbet in scoops. The more the sherbet is melted the better because it tastes FANTASTIC when all mixed together. Be prepared that people are going to love it, so it'll go fast.

I've also tossed in frozen fruit to keep it cold, and then when it melts it is a delicious treat in the punch.

If it is too sweet, mix 2/3 Sprite and 1/3 Fruit Punch to even it out a little more.

It's Delicious!
