Mountain Dew Soda Cake

Holy snackaroni! I just made cupcakes muffins using only two ingredients. 

I had no frosting, therfore they are muffins.

 

Googling around on the internet I seen "Soda Cake". It only called for two ingredients. 

 

1-Box Cake mix

1-12 oz can of soda.

Thats it! Zip! Bam! 

The only soda I had in the house was Diet Moutain Dew (diet because I'm on a diet, haha). 

I mixed it with a box of cake mix and the magic (not Jacks magic) appeared right before my eyes. 

The cake mix got all bubbly, fizzy and foamy until it was mixed well. 

Poured into a muffin pan and baked according to the directions on the box, I had the fluffiest most moistest cupcakes muffins ever! 

 

They were quiet delicious as I ate three of them. I'll regret it during the night. 

No worries on the calories (unless you devour them like I did).

Recipe makes 24 muffins.

Since there is no milk, oil or eggs, this recipes is light on the calories.

While the regular recipe bakes up each cupcake at about 120 calories each, this soda recipe falls at around only 70 calories each. 

Of course I used "diet soda" . 

Win!

Want more ideas on flavors? There are many other soda / cakemix combinations.

DIY Bunny Napkins and Rice Dyed Eggs

Hope everyone is having a happy Easter weekend. 

I dont have any little ones, so no egg hunts, frilly photo sessions or Easter bunny meetings. However, I do have my adult daughter home with me this weekend. She comes in so we can do some of the Eastery fun stuff. We bake, dye eggs, and shop. 

We will get up Easter Morning and go to sunrise service, church service and then sit down to a nice Easter dinner.

Speaking of dinner, as I was adding clean linens to the table, I started playing around with the napkins. I dicovered a way to make little bunny napkins. Pretty ribbon or napkin rings would make them even more fancy but I had neither.

Excuse the picture quality. The lighting was terrible in the dining room and I was in a hurry.

 

 

I made a potato salad, broccoli casserole and banana strawberry salad to go with Sundays Dinner. 

Easter shopping is complete, Easter baskets are assembled and remember the pom pom sandals I pictured in my last post? Found some! Yes I bought them. 

 

Later me and Ashley dyed eggs. Now listen up! If you dont want a mess, your gonna love this idea! Its clean, colorful and you can handle the eggs immediately without getting dye on your hands.

RICE DYED EASTER EGGS

 

1. Place white rice in a baggy.

2. Put about 5 or so drops of food coloring in the rice and mix a little.

3. Place egg in bag and shake it around. The more you shake and mix, the brighter it becomes.

4. Remove them using your hands. The dye will not get on them as its already dry. Really! Its like a little miracle.  

(Add a few more drops of color to do the next egg. The dye will dry fast in the rice.)

Hope everyone has a great Easter and remember the true meaning of the day.
