Two Ingredient Cake

I thought I'd make something sweet again but without all the calories. I'm getting burned out on strawberries and sugar free whip cream. So I made cupcakes!


While searching through Pinterest, I found this really interesting way to make a cake using only two ingredients.


1- box of devils food cake mix
1- cup non fat Greek Yogurt
and 1 cup of water (ok that's really three, but water don't count).
 
 
Mix all the ingredients together with a wire whisk and bake 350 until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. It took mine about 25 minutes. I ended up adding a tad bit more water to the mix because the texture was really thick and just didn't look like the soupy cake mix I'm used to. They didn't seem to rise as much as the regular way.


They turned out better than I thought they would. You can't even taste the yogurt at all. They reminded me of brownies.
Personally I did not like them, They were not as rich in taste and a bit gummy. But I would highly recommend this recipe if your allergic or trying to stay away from eggs.

Feeling like a bad Mom

Do you ever feel like a "bad Mom?" I do at times. But this week, I really felt like a bad one.

What started out as an ordinary day. I had my breakfast, went to the post office and then to work.
about 10:00 am I get a text from my Husband for me to call home. At that point, my stomach fell in my lap because every time the phone rings and/or he needs me to call home, I think "oh Lord, something has happened to my daughter". Let me remind you, my daughter is only 3 weeks away from graduating from four years of College. I am a nervous Mom all the time anyway, However, I'm doing pretty good about that now. I don't worry about her quiet as much, ..OK yes I do.

Anyway, I called home. My husband said he has some bad news. My daughter had been in a wreck. she was fine and it was not her fault. Just shaken up a little and the police and ambulance are on the scene, she will have an officer take her back to school and she will call us when shes there. I was speechless for a second. My instinct wanted to grab my superman cape and head to Charlotte. She was only 20 minutes away. Im pretty sure I could have made it in 5.

My husband and I decided to let her handle this herself (his idea of course). She needed to learn how to get by without us just a little bit. After all , she was fine and this was not her first accident. The first one was below the house heading to high school one morning right after she got her license. I was at the scene before I could hardly get my clothes on. In fact, I think she was still talking to me on the phone when I arrived. That fast. ha ha. Again, she was OK it was a minor bump in an older car than she has now.

This time her accident was...well.... it could have been worst. God was there with her. She was in her little blue Focus. It happened on a busy hwy when someone hit her and took her across 4 lanes of traffic before halting in a ditch. So, now its the next day and I literally can not stop thinking about how she must have felt. How scared she must have been and I was not there for her! I am holding back so many emotions trying to come to grips. Me and my husband have even joked a bit about it just to ease our minds of the stress. But at the end of the day, I feel like a bad Mom because I was not there for her. She had to go through it all by herself. I should have been there.

We just got her this car 7 month ago :(
 
The next day, she said she was sore and now has a rental car so she can complete her internships and work schedule until she graduates. I am so proud of her. Even though we handled alot of the insurance needs, she did good at staying calm, giving correct information and paper work she needed. She is so smart and I hope she can stay out of troubles way for now on. I cant take much more.

I have to say during all this, I stayed calm (better than I thought I would) and was able to continue working the rest of the day. I had a scattered mind , but I made it. (Thats what bad Moms probably do).

We are going to go see her Sunday and I am sure I will give her a check up and kiss the boo boos if I have too.  I still feel awful.
