Cake mix made yummy!

For Micah's birthday, he wanted a vanilla white chocolate cake. So I had to get creative with some add-ins and this turned out super yummy.

1 cake mix (vanilla)

1 box vanilla pudding

1/2 cup applesauce

1 cup sour cream

4 eggs

1 cup melted white chocolate chips

Mix this all together and bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes, depending on your pan shape and size. I used a deeper casserole dish, per Micah's request, and it took 55 minutes to cook all the way through. I let it cool, then turned it over and frosted it with the below frosting recipe...

1/2 stick butter or margarine

8 ounces cream cheese (I used low fat and it worked fine for frosting)

2 T brown sugar

1 T vanilla

1 cup white chocolate chips (I do wish I had grated the white chocolate instead, but it still was super good!)

YUM! My husband, who rarely even partakes of cake, had seconds! Seconds! This is a big deal.

Protein packed pancakes

And yum.

2 eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup oats

splash of vanilla

(Clearly, I quadruple the recipe...)

Blend (in blender) and put about 1/8 to 1/4 cup on your greased pan as you normally make pancakes. These are delicious, light, and healthy! Yay!

Easy, delicious spinach quiche

Hmm... another spinach recipe. This is really good, and you could probably substitute a different vegetable if you wanted... Zucchini comes to mind!

1 10 ounce bag of frozen spinach

1/2 an onion chopped up

5 eggs

12 ounces of muenster or favorite cheese

Salt and pepper

Mix together with a fork. Dump in greased 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes.

We served this with broccoli/apple/raisin/yogurt slaw and triple berry muffins.

I had several members of the family say this was the best quiche they ever had and please add this to the rotation of meals. Yippee!
