Ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix, any flavor (i used golden yellow)
• 3 eggs (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 1 1/3 cups water (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 3 tablespoons butter (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box) or 3 tablespoons margarine (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 1 (12 ounce) can frosting, whipped (my friend uses cream cheese, i used butter cream. feel free to try your favorite kind!!)
• 4 (8 ounce) containers dipping chocolate, i'm not sure the size of the container, standard container of microwavable dipping chocolate
• 1 ounce candy sprinkles

Recipe

• 1 bake the cake as directed. let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes. while still warm, break the cake into pieces in a large mixing bowl. add the can of frosting and stir until mixed. the cake pieces will break up into much smaller pieces. (the mixture will be a bit of a mess and very gooey!).

Cathy's Apple Cinnamon Hunger Fighting Oatmeal

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 apples (medium to large sized, i like to use braeburn, jonagold, or gala)
• 1 cup water (approximate(just enough to cover the apples in the kettle)
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 3 1/2 cups milk (i use skim)
• 1/2-1 cup dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, etc, or a combination)
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/8 cup real maple syrup (not maple flavored pancake syrup)
• 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (1 teaspoon is a lot of cinnamon, use less if you aren't cinnamon nuts like we are)
• brown sugar (optional)

Recipe

• 1 core and chop apples into small, bite-sized cubes. peel if you wish. i leave the skins on (more fiber), but if the texture bothers you, peel apples first.
• 2 simmer apples in water over medium heat until tender. time varies depending on the type of apple and how tender you like them. i generally cook them until very tender, but if you want more recognizeable pieces of apple in the finished oatmeal, leave a little more firm. add a little more water if the pan cooks dry.
• 3 add the dried fruit about half way through cooking the apples in order to soften and rehydrate. (if you forget, just cover them with a little water and microwave them a few seconds before adding to the apples).
• 4 add oats and milk, bring just to a simmer, reduce heat, and slowly cook until thick, taking care to stir occasionally and scrape the bottom of the pan. since this is old fashioned oatmeal, this will take at least five minutes.
• 5 once the oatmeal is cooked and thick, remove from heat and stir in nuts, syrup, and cinnamon.
• 6 let stand five minutes. place in individual serving bowls. thin & cool with a little milk and sweeten with brown sugar or more maple syrup, if desired.

• 3 eggs (use amount specified in cake mix directions)
• 1 1/4 cups water (use amount specified in cake mix directions)
• 1/3 cup oil (use amount specified in cake mix directions)
• 2 cups butter (room temp)
• 9 cups powdered sugar
• 8 ounces bakers chocolate
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• red food coloring or blue food coloring
• 1 quart heavy whipping cream (put the container of whipping cream and a bowl in your freezer 20 minutes before you use it to have )
• 2 (3 1/2 ounce) boxes vanilla instant pudding mix (my fav is cheesecake!!, my fav is cheesecake!!) or 2 (3 1/2 ounce) boxes chocolate pudding mix (my fav is cheesecake!!, my fav is cheesecake!!)
• 10 ounces strawberry preserves (girl) or 10 ounces blackberry preserves (boy)

Recipe

• 1 cupcakes:.
• 2 bake the cupcakes as per the instructions on the cake mix box.
• 3 i suggest doing this the night before as i did -- being pregnant saps my energy and dividing the work makes it easier for me! i also cooled the cupcakes and put them in the freezer to make them easier to work with and ice the next day.
• 4 icing:.
• 5 set the butter out so it gets to be room temperature. next take the 8 oz of bakers chocolate and chop it up and put it into a microwaveable bowl. microwave it in 15-20 sec increments, stirring in between, until melted. whip the butter and chocolate together (first i squished the butter with a fork and then used a mixer). add the vanilla and heavy whipping cream and mix well. keep using your mixer and gradually add the 9 cups of powdered sugar. set aside.
• 6 surprise filling:.
• 7 take the heavy whipping cream out of the freezer (you put it in there 20 minutes ago, right?) and dump it in your bowl. using cool or cold beaters on your mixer, beat the whipping cream on medium-high until it starts to get thick. add the jello pudding mix and keep mixing until it gets really thick and somewhat stiff. fold in your desired amount of preserves (i used about 2/3 of a small jar) and add food coloring. beat the mixture until it's a even color.
• 8 filling the cupcakes:.
• 9 take the cupcakes out of the freezer immediately after finishing the filling. cut a upside down triangular cylinder out of the top of the cupcake. (that makes sense, right?) cut the point off the triangular cylinder so it leaves lots of room for filling and it will be like a lid.
• 10 using a regular spoon, fill the cupcakes with the colored surprise filling and put their "tops" back on carefully.
• 11 icing the cupcakes:.
• 12 take your icing and either just slather it on the top, covering any hint of blue or pink filling -- or be all fancy-like and use an icing bag and tips and swirl on a beautiful top. add blue and pink sprinkles or whatever you like on top of that.
• 13 store cupcakes in the refrigerator! they can last a few days, just make sure to store in the fridge!
• 14 you may have left over filling -- which my pregnant self and my small children had no problem eating out of the bowl with a spoon!

Chef Joey's Strawberry Vanilla Tart

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen strawberries (organic)
• 1 (1/3 ounce) packet vegan gelatin
• 1 (3 7/8 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix (dr. oetker organic, the type you cook)
• 1/4 cup fine sugar
• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
• 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
• 2 teaspoons arrowroot (flour)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400'f.
• 2 empty the contents of the frozen strawberry package into a microwave save bowl and defrost until just thawed. then put the thawed berries into a sieve and let the juice drip into a bow. keep the liquid for later use.
• 3 moisten the bottom of the tart pan with a little water.
• 4 on a floured board, roll the puff pastry out and place it in the tart pan. make sure it fits so the sides and bottom are covered. push out any air pockets "gently" with your fingers. if you have any tears in the pastry use a little water to close them. once the puff pastry is put into the tart pan use your rolling pin along the top of the tart pan edges to remove the excess puff pastry.
• 5 place your puff pastry in the tart pan into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. about half way through remove the tart from the oven and prick it gently with a fork. this is to get out some of the air. put it back and cook the rest of the way. keep an eye on it now, it browns quickly. once done, remove and let sit on a rack to cool.
• 6 prepare the pudding according to package directions.
• 7 (what i did was place the cold milk into a medium sauce pan. i then added the pudding mix, strawberry extract and gelatin into the cold milk and stirred it with a whisk.).
• 8 turn the stove on to medium, but no higher as this could burn easily. stir this constantly. once this mixture comes to a boil stir for about a minute longer, then set aside off the heat and cover. once cooled slightly put onto the baked puff pastry. spread it evenly.
• 9 put the thawed strawberries in a small bowl and pour the sugar over them. let the berries and sugar macerate for a few minutes. once you see that the berries are macerated, pour the remaining juice in with the reserved juice from when the berries were thawing.
• 10 put the strawberry juice into a small sauce pan, add the arrowroot flour and mix well. you want to get the lumps out. then turn on the heat and stir constantly until smooth and thick. this should thicken quickly. once this is done set aside off the heat.
• 11 place the strawberries on the pudding in an attractive pattern and then pour the thickened strawberry juice over top. place in the fridge for a few hours and serve with your favourite whipped topping. i used coconut whipped cream on mine.
• 12 bon apetit!
