Sweet Sunday


A twist on the traditional rice krispy - add a flavored dry cake mix. Umm hello, why haven't I heard of this until now?!?! They say yellow cake mix but that to me is still too plain Jane. I did strawberry and it was delicious. I can't wait to try lemon. Cherry. Chocolate. Red Velvet. Spice. Carrot. Not sure they'd all be good but fun to experiment.

~Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats~

Ingredients:
3 Tbs butter
1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup yellow cake mix (or any flavor for that matter)*
6 cups rice krispies cereal
1 1.75-ounce container of sprinkles**

Directions:
1) Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows.
2) Stir until they begin to melt, adding in cake mix slowly.
3) Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture.
4) Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles.
5) Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. Spray knife with nonstick spray to easily cut.

*I added 1/2 cup to really infuse the krispies with the cake flavor.
**Sprinkles aren't a must. I personally didn't like the sprinkles my first time.  


I hope this ends your weekend on a sweet note!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
