oh, Martha

I was walking down the aisle in Walmart, with all the kids, because the big boys NEEDED shoes. and I saw this. and it came home with me.
so fun.
and it was 30% off. like all the books there, but that sealed the deal.
so for a few days now I have been flipping through its pages.
wondering where to start.
well, this is what I started with:

one bowl chocolate cupcakes. yummy. denser than a cake mix.
and made in one bowl. fabulous.
now, I really wanted to try one of the fancy icings, but all the ones that were catching my eye needed egg whites or cream cheese.
and since I used the last two eggs in the house on the cupcakes, and had no cream cheese, I made our standby favorite peanut butter frosting.
so delish.

but I went grocery shopping today, and now we have plenty of eggs,
and even some cream cheese,
so I am going to have to flip through the book some more and choose which ones to try next!
