PC 10 Minute Chicken

Before the 10 minute red velvet cake, I made some 10 minute microwave chicken. Yes it's safe! They Pampered Chef deep dish baker is specially made it create an oven atmosphere when the lid is used as well.

The whole baker

The raw chicken. I think you are supposed to use more than just two pieces for the whole 10 minutes... but I haven't played with timing.

Baker in the microwave

Chicken is finished!!!

PC 10 Minute Red Velvet Cake!

The other day Holly came over and we utilized my Pampered Chef deep dish baker to make a cake! They excellent thing about this baker is that we can make a cake in TEN (10) minutes in the MICROWAVE!!!!

We've only done chocolate cake with chocolate icing before (SOOOO good), but she loves red velvet so we decided to give that a shot.


First you make the cake mix, then drop in spoonfuls of the icing (pictured below)

Cream cheese flavored icing

After its done... not so pretty but soo good

Holly's piece of cake with the icing scooped and poured on top...

This is with the scoop removed... you can see the icing pooling out of the bottom!

(Semi)Homemade White Bread

So today I made white bread (same company as with the wheat bread-they also do sourdough) and I was soooo excited to eat it!
Baking!!!

After it came out of the oven

YUM... sooo tasty!

(Semi)Homemade Cracked Wheat Bread

OMG.

This was DELICIOUS!!! Well worth the time it took to make it!

This is the brand/box. We got it from Wally World (Walmart).

You have to add water to the yeast and flour mix (both are included in the box) and knead the dough. Then you let it rise for 1 hour.
During 1st Rise

You punch it down then put the dough in the loaf pan and let it rise for another 45 minutes. And bake it for 25-30 minutes.
1/2 way through baking. It got a little bit bigger than this.

Seem like a lot of time and work???

I can tell you that it was SOOOO good... I didn't even get a picture of the finished product! It was all gone (with a lot of thanks to me, lol) within 15-20 minutes. Can't wait to make it again!

Homemade Icecream Cookie Sandwiches

We saw this on "Guy's Big Bite" on the Food Network this morning...
You can do this with whatever cookie and ice cream combination you choose...
For today, I made Jeff's favorite, chocolate chip cookie. I cheated and bought the dough roll from Wal-Mart (the BIG roll). And bought a PINT each of Bluebell Dutch Chocolate and Homemade Vanilla ice cream.

Roll dough into 1 1/2 in balls. I cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the cookie sheet for easier cookie removal (worked awesome!) I fit 6 on my cookie sheet allowing plenty of room for them to spread. Bake until centers are barely gooey (like normal). Allow to cool. If you cut through the carton (as you can see in the picture) into thirds, the size of ice cream will be just the right size. Granted, this is harder than Guy made it look! Make a sandwich with two cookies and the ice cream (bottom side of cookie against ice cream for both top AND bottom cookies). You can cover (or place in sandwich bags or wrap with saran wrap) and put back in the freezer to re-harden. I think I used too soft of ice cream because it didn't get solidify completely. (some of the chocolate ice cream ones have spread out into the bag... AFTER I put them in the freezer)

BUT, they were still awesomely wonderful!
