It’s a Sunshine Day!

I’m so excited, Megan from une femme curieuse has given me a blog award! Whee.

I feel so honored! Thank you so much, Megan!! This has definitely made my day (especially since [until yesterday] i haven’t seen the sun in a very long time and have been feeling a bit puny and grumpy).

Lemon cookies

i made some great lemon cookies the other day. i saw the recipe on the local news. SO EASY. TOO EASY. especially if you are doing wii fit to keep in shape. but, i thought i would share this easy cookie recipe:

1 box of cake mix (i used lemon, but you can use any flavor)
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
Heat oven to 375. Mix ingredients together. Pay no attention to directions on box of cake mix. Once mixed, roll into balls and roll in bowl of powder sugar. place on cookie sheet. bake for around 12-14 minutes (i forgot how much time was stated on the news–so, i just kept checking them). Voila! No one will know these came from a cake box. Genius. If i had a fancy camera, i would totally make another batch just to take pictures and post them. but, no fancy camera. sigh.
P.S. as a footnote, i don’t believe in making cake from a box. But, this cookie thing is fab.
