Cake in a Mug

I got home from Zumba last night and was craving something sweet big time! Apparently flailing your arms and legs around for 45 minutes creates quite the appetite. We didn't have anything sweet on hand, but then I remembered seeing a recipe online for Cake in a Mug.

I thought it was too good to be true. How could anything one throws together and microwaves for 3 minutes actually taste good? Well, it was... pretty good. Not awesome, but pretty good. It would have been awesome had I any cream to make whipped cream. Or icecream. Or caramel syrup. Or... okay I have to stop because I'm making myself hungry again! If you want the recipe, you can click here.

I did a few things different. First, I used actual cake flour (not sure if this made it better or not because I have no other microwave cake recipes to compare.) Also, I used half oil, half applesauce instead of all oil. I usually make this substitution so that at least I'm "trying" to be healthy.

So, will I make this again? Maybe. But only in a pinch, when I'm craving something sweet and there's nothing else in the house. Otherwise, I'll be making a drive to Sonic.

February Photo-A-Day: Fav Pic of You & Where You Work

Yesterday's photo challenge involved posting your favorite picture of yourself. This picture was taken at Potbelly's Sandwich shop when G was just six weeks old! He makes this my fav photo (and I think my hair looks rad in this pic!)

Today's challenge is to take a picture of where you work. This is it. We've been spending tons of time outside as of late due to the awesome Spring-like weather blessing Texas. It's where G is the happiest. And not throwing fits. He really likes throwing fits lately. :(

February Photo-A-Day: Drink

Ok, I've really been slacking on my photo challenge! A few days ago, the topic was "drink." So I thought I'd share some pics of what I start my day with (coffee), and water. I literally drink water ALL day long. No sodas for this girl :)

As you can tell, I'm really digging the bokeh filter on picfx. Thanks to my SIL for introducing me to it!
