Another quick- easy- yummy coffee mug cake.. this one is better than the chocolate!

I suggest making this recipe and then splitting it between 2 mugs (the above picture is a 1/2 recipe.. one for each of the girls :) )

Combine dry ingredients

6 Tbs flour (I always use freshly ground wheat.. I used my pastry wheat for this)

2 Tbs sugar (brown or white depending on your taste.. I use raw sugar but if I were to pick brown or white I’d go with the brown)

1/4 tsp baking soda (if you use wheat or freshly ground I’d up it to 1/2 a tsp. instead)

1/8 tsp cinnamon (I use one of the McCormick graters for my cinnamon so I upped it to more like 1/4 tsp.. I don’t really measure anything so I’m not sure)

1/8 tsp nutmeg

Mix those up with a fork.. then add..

4 Tbs orange juice (I used 3 Tbs apple juice and 1 Tbs of a beaten egg.. milk or buttermilk would probably work as well)

3 Tbs grated carrot

2 Tbs oil

1/4 tsp vanilla

add pecans and/ or raisins if you like..

mix it all up and pour into 2 small coffee mugs or 1 large mug.  Microwave for 2-2.5 minutes.  Let it cool a bit and eat!  We like this drizzled with honey. :)

Well, I attempted crochet today.  I followed a pattern and everything.. got about 3/4 of the way done and decided to just scratch my first project.   It was supposed to be a hat for Rohan (just a blue tabaggon type hat)  and it was ended up a whoppin’ 3 inches tall?  MAYBE? LOL.. it was barbie size.   I’m not quite sure HOW I got my stitches so tight but I managed.  I started over and this one seems to be turning out normal human size.
