Julia Child seemed to believe that everything was better with butter, I say everything is better with peanut butter.  When making brownies, I suggest adding a few dollops to the batter, once you've spread it into your 9"x13" pan.  The swirl gently into the batter using a knife, and voila, chocolate-ey peanut-buttery goodness for all. 

I made an ice cream cake using the chocolate cake mix. Once the cake cools completely, carefully cut the cake in half using a serrated knife. Place the bottom half back in the pan and cover it with softened vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle some toffee chips (or any broken up candy you like) over the ice cream. Press the top half over the ice cream mixture and frost the cake with softened Cool Whip. Place back in the freezer to set. When you're ready to eat, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes so it's easier to cut.

I'm looking forward to making an apple crisp using the yellow cake mix - sprinkling it over some sliced apples with some brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Drizzle some butter over the top and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. I'm sure it'll be delish and perfect for the season!

Pancakes!

We've been without good pancakes since my boys were diagnosed with gluten and dairy allergies in June.  We've been enjoying the GF cake mixes, so this morning, I tried using the yellow cake mix instead of the flour in my pancake recipe.  They were WONDERFUL!  Light, fluffy pancakes are back on our table.  The particular recipe I used is below.

1 cup GF Yellow Cake mix

1 cup soy milk

1 egg

2 TBSP veg oil

2 tsp baking powder

Mix it all in a blender and pour little circles on a griddle sprayed lightly with cooking spray.

I love this idea! thanks for sharing!

Just love the pancake reicpe using the GF yellow cake mix, thanks for sharing Heather.  It is better tasting than the pricy mixes you find in the speciality stores.  It also has a much better texture.  My daughter doesn't have the dairy allergy and I tried using regular milk.  The results were still very good.  I sure hope the BC GF line isn't canceled soon.  It is so nice when an allergic kid enjoys food as much as every other one does.
