{a bum cake mix.no! a bum & a cake mix.}
yo! yes. I have in fact been lacking inspiration-o. I have been a bum all week. I have made my husband eat fast food waaay to many times. and the laundry? It sat out for 2 weeks. in piles.The lounge chairs? disappeared. We picked out pairs of socks and underwear as needed. The dishwasher? My amazing 'maid'! The bed- is unmade. The cake mix??!! Thee.only.thing.that made me look like an honest to goodness 'home-maker'.
When you think of being a 'home-maker' you think of aprons, covered in flour. Hair curled in a cutesy lil bun at the back of her head, with lil wisps framing her face in curls, from the humidness of her kitchen and the boiling water she is using to do laundry. (run on sentence any-one?) yep. In my dreams, ladies.
Any-hoo. The cake mix. There is 2 things ( there is more but these are my favorites right now) you can make with a cake mix that will change your life. It will make you plumper, happier, less stressed, and always making sure that you have 2 - 6 cake mixes stashed safely away in your extra large pantry.
Cinnamon Rolls/Chocolate Rolls.
Simply deee-vine.

NO!NO!NO! Jenn...don't you understand how detrimental this kind of post is to my DIET?!?! If it was a complicated recipe, I wouldn't be nearly as tempted to go make them right now! Oh but they sound SOOO yummy! :)
ReplyDeleteOH Jenn, you are so good to have around...cause you say it like it is, instead of showing us how 'perfect' your lil home is. I think this IS really the perfect life, being happy and not stressed about your house. ha! Have you ever made a dump cake? It's my fast grab if company shows up...can of pineapple tidbits, cherry pie filling, yellow cake mix (or white, whatev) chop up pecans and dot with margarine....pour that all into the pan in that order and bake...easy peasy b/c there are no dishes! hoorah!
ReplyDeleteMornin' Jennieee! These look SO good!! The recipe Cheyenne mentions is one of my favorites,(it's in Kitchen Treasures) but I hadn't thought of adding pecans, will have to try that...and if you check out pg 94 in the Friesen cookbook, there's one from me:)
