Camo Cupcakes

My step-daughter and I made Camo Cupcakes for my brother's birthday today.
They turned out so great and were a big hit.

Mix a box of chocolate cake mix as directed on the box.
Mix a box of white cake mix as directed on the box.
Put half the white cake mix in another bowl.  Add a little of the chocolate mix and green food coloring until you have a camo green color.
Drop spoon fulls of each color into cupcakes liners in a cupcake pan until it is about 3/4 full.   You might want to use more of the chocolate just because there will be more of that mix.
Cook as directed for cupcakes on the cake mix box.

When the cupcakes are cool you can put icing on them.
You will need one can of chocolate icing and one of white icing (I used cream cheese icing).
Put half the white icing in another bowl.  Add chocolate icing and green food coloring until you have a camo green color.

Put each color in a icing bag or ziplock.  Then put all three bags in a bigger icing bag or ziplock.
Cut the tip off and add a icing tip.  What ever kind you want.  Then swirl it on the cupcakes.  It will come out with the different colors.  I found that taping the three bags together before putting them in the larger bag helped.

  Hope someone else enjoys them as much as us.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Forgot I made these a while ago.

Just get a cake mix box and mix as directed on the box.
Use cupcake baking sheet with cupcake liners.   Spray cooking spray in cupcake liners.
Fill cupcake liners about 3/4 full.  Put ice cream cones on top of the cupcake batter.
Cook as directed on the cake mix box for cupcakes.
When the cupcakes have cooled a bit pull the liner off the cupcakes.  I had to shave a few of the cupcakes to make them more round.   I didn't use enough cooking spray and they stuck to the liners a bit.

Decorate with whatever icing or sprinkles you like.

Crock Pot Chicken w/ Rice

Made this yesterday.  The night before I chopped up some carrots and celery.  As you can see by the pic I don't have any on my plate but the rest of the family likes it so I do it.

In the morning I put three frozen chicken breast in the crockpot.
Add a large can of Cream of Chicken Soup.
Add the chopped carrots and celery.
Use the empty soup can and add 1 1/2 cans of water.
Add 1 packet of chicken gravy mix.
A little salt.
Cook in crockpot for 8 to 10 hours.

When I got home I just microwaved some rice.
Shred the chicken up and pour over the rice.

Turned out great.

Pampered Chef Rice Cooker Plus Cake

So this was my first pin.  I bought a Pampered Chef  Rice Cooker Plus.

I used a Yellow cake mix and mixed as directed on the box.
Pour into the Rice Cooker Plus Bowl.
Swirl Chocolate Syrup on top of the cake mixture.
Microwave for 10 minutes.
The cake pops out on to a plate super easy.
Drizzle more Chocolate Syrup over the cake.
Serve with Whipped Cream.

It was the best when it was still warm.

Hello

Hello out there.
So I am a big fan of Pinterest.  I have never been someone that likes to cook or DIY projects but Pinterest has inspired me.  I have found many things I want to try and have actually tried a few of them.  I get an idea from Pinterest and then do my own version.  I did pin a couple of things but it is hard to put the ingredients in the comments.  So I decided to start a blog and post my creations.  Hopefully someone gets some use from them.
