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.

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!
