Stressed and Visiting Teachers

I've got a lot of homework I'm doing this week and I'm stressed to no end. Over 40 pages to write, and I'm going crazy! It has NOT been a good week. But my lovely visiting teacher came by tonight with some tasty treats for me. Made my day and got rid of my stress... at least for a little while.

Give these Visiting Teachers a prize.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble gobble! Eat those turkey's up! That's all for this week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The Legend of Zelda Cake!

I didn't make this cake (well I put in like 2 ingredients, but I was just sort of there...), but I decorated it! I loved it so I'm sharing it with you all! My friend is almost as obsessed with Legend of Zelda as I am, so we made this for her birthday! Happy Birthday Liz!

Cookie Dough Cupakes

My husband and I had a couple of friends over a few nights ago and I made these for dessert. They're ridiculously tasty; even without the M&Ms that we forgot!

One Bowl Monster Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Ingredients:

For the Cupcakes:

• 1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
• 1 Tbsp. Butter
• 1/4 c. Flour
• 2 Tbsp. Sugar
• 1 Egg White
• 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Milk
• a teensy splash of vanilla
• a small handful of Chocolate Chips

For the Cookie Dough Frosting:

• 2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
• 2 Tbsp. Margarine or Butter (softened to room temperature)
• 2 Tbsp. Flour
• 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
• 1/2 c. Oats
• 3/4 c. Powdered Sugar
• 2-3 Tbsp. Milk
• a handful of plain M&Ms
• a handful of Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

For the Cake
1. Melt butter in the microwave for 10 seconds.

2. Mix in the rest of the ingredients until your batter forms.

3. Bake in cupcake liners at 350 for 19 minutes. Let cool.

For the Cookie Dough Frosting:
1. Using a fork mix together the butter, peanut butter, and 1/4 c. powdered sugar.

2. Add 1 Tbsp. milk. Whisk with the fork until it’s pretty smooth.
3. Add the remaining powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time, mixing after each addition), the brown sugar, and the flour. Add milk as needed to help with the consistency.
4. Stir in the oats (you can use more or less depending on your preferences), M&Ms, and chocolate chips. 

This recipe only actually makes about 2-3 cupcakes, so I had to double it. But dang, it was good! Especially that frosting... which I basically ate like candy.

Breakfast Cookie Dough

So, obviously I love chocolate. And cookie dough, if you couldn't tell. Possibly my favorite thing on the planet it chocolate chip cookie dough. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this little delight:

Breakfast Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Thank you Chocolate Covered Katie for bringing this to me. I've eaten it three different days now, and it's still ridiculously tasty. Perfect for the girl with a sweet tooth in the morning, while still getting some healthy things involved.

(Serves 1)

1 cup flake cereal (bran flakes, cornflakes, spelt flakes, etc.) (35g)

1/3 cup Mori-Nu tofu, or yogurt of choice (80g)

3/4 cup milk of choice (180g)

1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/8 tsp salt

sweetener of choice (such as stevia, sugar, or even maple syrup)

handful of chocolate chips

optional:1 tbsp peanut butter

I always do the tablespoon of peanut butter, because a splash of peanut butter makes everything better.

Short, simple, delicious.

Enjoy! You know I did.
