Recipes.... the easy ones

I decided to post a few recipes that I think others might enjoy.... I am a set it and forget it type cook and like things simple.

I LOVE to bake!!! One of my favorites is a Sock-It-To-Me cake. It is so moist. And of course its EXTREMELY healthy... HA

1 box of Duncan Hines Golden Butter Cake Mix
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 stick of butter (softened)
4 eggs
1 cup of Sour Cream

For Center Swirl:
3 TBS. Brown Sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and pour 1/2 the mixture into a bundt pan (grease and flour pan). Then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over batter. Next, pour the rest of the batter on top. Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.

You can make a glaze to pour on top with powdered sugar and milk.



Another Favorite is what my mom calls "Working Woman's Roast". This one is great. Put it on in the morning before you leave for work and dinner is ready when you get home!! LOVELY!!

1 roast (chuck or pikes peak is best)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. Lipton Onion Soup Mix (dry)

Place roast in crock pot. (Add potatoes and carrots if desired) Spread soup over top. Next sprinkle onion soup mix over that. Cook on low for 8 hours. Your roast is ready and the gravy is already made.

Hope you guys enjoy these 2 as much as I do....

yIKEs....

So both of us are home today...because of Ike. Tyson's school is a shelter, and therefore they cannot have school with evacuees there as well. Me, yeah not real sure why we are off. A&M cancelled classes and closed the campus until Sunday. We had to cover all the computers and registers JUST IN CASE. Are you kidding me? Put that crap outside and maybe we can get NEW technology. GENIUS idea i thought!! haha. Anyway, Tyson has mowed the yard and I have cleaned the living room and kitchen. I am really not sure what to do with myself. I guess take in all the TV and electricity I can before we lose power.... IF we do lose power. I am just not sure how bad it is going to be up here in BCS. I guess we will see later tonight. I've done all the laundry... I've cleaned..... *sigh* what to do to pass the time today... maybe I will just read a good book!! OR take a nap!!! YAY!!

But in all seriuosness..... my prayers are with those that are down in the areas that are being hit already....BE SAFE!!!

Our Humble Abode

Here are the pictures I said I would post....eventually... We are still "moving in" and haven't quite finished decorating...but you get the idea! Enjoy!!
