Mother of the Year, 2009

I'm going to go ahead and announce it...I am the Mother of the Year for 2009. If tonight's dinner doesn't solidify that, then I don't know what will.

Plan A: CrockPot roast with vegetables, at the table, as a family
---roast was still too under cooked to serve by dinner time

Plan B: Frozen pizza (with spinach and chicken), at the table as a family
--- dropped the pizza as I was taking it out of the oven. I actually stomped my feet and screamed "NO-o-o-o-o-!"

Plan C: Popcorn, in a bowl, outside, inside, everywhere, not as a family

And for dessert? I found my new favorite recipe, which is why I'm blogging in the first place....cake in a mug (a la Betty Crocker's Warm Delights). So, I thought I would share:

1 coffee mug (I used a really large one, but if you don't have a big one, it will just cook over the top a little)
4 T. cake flour (I used bread flour)
4 T. sugar
2 T. cocoa
1 egg
3 T. milk
3 T. oil
1 splash of vanilla
3 T. chocolate chips (optional)

Add dry ingredients to the mug; mix well with a fork. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix well. Add chips

Microwave for 3 minutes on 1000 watts. Let cool.

And on another note...I passed my teacher work sample! That means I am DONE!
