Million Dollar Cupcakes

So my son was finishing up his Transition to Kindergarten class this past week. Each day they were celebrating with something special. As they continued their alphabet count down, I thought what better way to remember 'D' than to bring in cupcakes and let them Decorate. I tried something different with the box mix so they tasted more like a bakery. O my goodness they are to die for!!!

Ingredients:

Yellow cake mix

4 eggs

1 1/4 cup milk

1 cup melted butter

So basically from the box reciepe, I switched butter for oil, milk instead of water, and added an egg

I lined cupcake pans with Frozen liners because I had so many left from my daughter's Frozen birthday party that we had last weekend. Baked on 350° for 17 minutes. They were soooo good!!

The recipe made 24 but I brought in 21...we had to try them! Quality control!!

Post in the comments and let me know if you tried it and what you thought.

Corn, Chicken, and Rice

Instant Pot Cheesy Ground Beef and Rice There actually is no chicken in this recipe! For some reason, my oldest son called it Chicken, Corn, and Rice and if that was how he was going to eat I went with it! My kids absolutely love this meal. It is super easy to make in the Instant Pot and most of the ingredients are staples in my pantry. I like to get all my ingredients measured out on the counter ahead of time so I can just pop them in one at a time. Ingredient List: dab of butter 1lb lean ground beef 10.5 oz chicken broth 2 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp pepper 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 2 cups long-grain white rice 10.75 oz tomato soup 8.75 oz canned corn 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese Instructions: Set your Instant Pot to Saute Normal Once the pot heats up, melt some butter then add the ground beef Cook the ground beef - no need to drain any grease Add the chicken broth, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder, a...

Mommy Waffles

Mommy Waffles One day my oldest wanted breakfast and I asked him what he'd like. He said, "Mommy waffles". I just about died it was the sweetest thing. I had made homemade waffles just a few times for us and they were so good!! I used my waffle iron so much I had to buy a new one. Ingredient List: 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: Heat up your waffle iron Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl Mix all the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl Whisk all the ingredients together until nice and smooth Use a 1/4 or a 1/2 cup of batter for your waffles when the iron is nice and hot. I have a Cuisinart Waffle Maker and use 1/2 cup of batter for it. It makes 8 waffles. There are a lot of times we don't have all 8 and I freeze them. Another thing I started doing was using a mini waffle maker and making this whole...
