It’s almost Thanksgiving and I’m going to just confess something here: I’ve never cooked a turkey. I probably won’t cook a turkey until my mom and my husband’s mom are both dead. Needless to say, I’m not looking forward to that day. But still. I should probably start learning how to do stuff. Don’t you think? Learning to do stuff–It’s about time. So I got this:
It’s going to teach me how to be a woman. I am going to learn how to make rolls. It even comes with a DVD. I wish Fascinating Womanhood came with a DVD. Can you imagine!
The first recipe I tried was a for pumpkin muffins. You can try it too. Here’s the recipe:
1 spice cake mix
1 cup chocolate chips
1 small can of pumpkin
These turn out great. What I like best is knowing that the Lion House is encouraging me to take the easy way out by using a cake mix. There are plenty of recipes in the cookbook from scratch but isn’t this a nice way to start? I find it so soothing, as if Brigham Young himself condones my heavy reliance on fast food. I feel amazing! Go ahead and bathe that baby with wipes instead of a full-on bath. Then pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store for “homemade” soup, Brigham Young wants you to.
And do try making muffins this way. It’s easy but it tastes hard. Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes.
