3-2-1 Cake

1 box of Angel Food Cake Mix
1 box of any other Cake Mix

Mix dry cake mixes into a Ziploc Baggie or airtight container.
(one cake mix MUST be Angel Food)

When you want a cake.....mix together in a 10 oz microwavable Custard Cup or Ramiken:

3 tablespoons of the cake mixture
2 tablespoons of water
1 minute in the microwave

Top with Chocolate Syrup, Caramel Syrup, Fruit, Cool Whip or Icing or anything of your choice.
My grandkids love making this, but beware, it is hot coming out of the microwave. Hubby likes it for a quick sweet snack. Good for parties. Have several flavors and people can choose and make their own. Have a variety of toppings, sprinkles, candies etc to decorate.

Enjoy!!!

I will get out my recipe's and put my favorite in asap.

Zepoli's

Buy ready made pizza dough from supermarket
Canola oil
powdered sugar


Let dough sit out for 1/2 hour to rise. Heat oil for deep fry. When oil is hot break off pieces of dough (size of a small donut). Deep fry until golden brown. Drain then shake powdered sugar over - eat right away, not good when cold.

Recipe for Bruschetta please Giz

Bruschetta is one of my favorites

(1) Baguette or Ciabatta Bread (Baguette will be easier to find at most supermarkets in their baking department)
(3) Roma tomatoes (plum tomatoes)
Parmesan cheese
olive oil
fresh basil
oregano
minced garlic or garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

On large baking sheet, slice up the baguette in 3/4 inch's - lay out on baking sheet. ( I like to put the basil first) slice up the fresh basil and put a strip on each piece of Baguette. Then slice the tomatoes and lay a slice over the basil. sprinkle the minced garlic or garlic powder over each piece, then the parmesan cheese and little oregano. Salt and pepper as desired.

Sprinkle a little olive oil of each piece and place in oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until bread is toasted.

A great snack when watching a good movie. Also good with dinner.

I'm looking for a new coffee supplier online. I found one I'm considering, but was wondering if anyone else has ever tried this brand of coffee? I like my coffee roasted very dark, either French or Italian roast and like it brewed strong. I can't deal well with medium or light roasts because of the increased amount of caffeine in them.

Here's the company I'm considering...

Ruta Maya, Organic, 100% Arabica, shade grown in Chiapas, Mexico.
