Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake So I'm pretty much going crazy about this amazing weather. I mean, 80s and sunny in mid-March? YES PLEASE, OBVIOUSLY. But. There is one bad thing about this fabulous weather. One horrible... horrible, putrid thing that mars this groundhog-defying warmth. You see, my little brother Boots loves boots. So every night we all gather in the living room for our current Star Wars marathon. And Boots wiggles his toes in front of my face as if to say, "just these five little piggies". And then my nose falls off and I die. So we coax him into washing his feet by telling him horrible tales germs that like to live on stinky toes. After such an episode today I found him sitting on the bathroom counter with his feet in the sink, pouring Listerine over them. Okay... that works I guess. Anyways, enough about grossness. This is a five minute chocolate mug cake that is laced with peanut butter. Top that with hot fudge. That's the batter in case you were wondering. And please.

Chocolate Cake in a Mug I’m sitting here sipping my morning coffee in a mug with rainbow-coloured circles that remind me of jawbreaker candies. This psychedelic mug is my favourite thing right now, because it was a Mother’s Day gift from Cole. He had been excited all week to take me to his preschool for a Mother’s Day tea but was careful not to tell me too much because it was supposed to be a surprise. Every now and then I would catch him practicing the song they were going to sing, and he also let it slip that there were cookies involved, but other than that he kept the secrets pretty well. As I was sitting on the classroom floor watching my son and his classmates sing ‘I’m a Little Teapot’, I was suddenlly amazed that that was my son up there and I was his mother. His mother.

Strawberry Mug Pies Luckily, there’s only been a handful of times in my life when I’ve been seriously disappointed. …when I learned the truth about Santa, even though at age 14 I still begged my brothers to sleep in my bed with me because I was so horrified of a portly, hairy man seeing me while I was sleeping. See also: when I learned the truth about Dirty Dancing. Like it not being real life. …when my mom claimed that parmesan truffle fries tasted… “funny.” …when I found out that Alanis was really singing about Uncle Joey in In You Oughta Know. …when I found out about skinny jeans. …oh, and that time I tried to make a pie crust like Mother Lovett and ran screaming for the hills, swearing off all pastry for life. But no fear. All you have to do is throw some stuff in a mug and eat it. And it may not even really be a pie, but what the heck else should I call it? You don’t need to make these in a mug – you can clearly make them in a cutie ramekin or even a small sort of bowl. Strawberry Mug Pies serves 4
A Cup of Coffee Cake (in Under Five Minutes) I don’t love chocolate. BLASPHEMY I KNOW! It just doesn’t do it for me, what can I say? I do, however, love me some cinammon.
