A "Get Well" baked gift?
Sounds like Brooke has everything under control and she has one lucky friend. I'm sure her re-cup time will be much shorter if Brooke keeps those "get well" goodies coming!!!

A "Get Well" baked gift?

Sure PerkyMac. Be aware that this is pretty much a boiler plate recipe that I'm putting down and can certainly be changed as you see fit. It's from some B&B in Canada. I'm cutting and pasting here:
Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins
1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
One 8-ounce package cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
One 6-ounce package chocolate chips
Mix together the first four ingredients, then add the next four ingredients. Blend together and fill muffin cups 1/2 full with this batter. Cream together cream cheese, egg, and sugar. Top batter with creamed mixture. Divide package of chocolate chips and sprinkle on top of the muffins.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.

chisai..........chocolate cream cheese muffins? visions keep dancing in my head. if you're not planning to send me a basket, may i have the recipe, pretty please with a ripe dark red cherry on top?
Hillary.......i bought the brownie edge pan and it is magnificent! now i don't have to give away the entire middle.
BTW......for me, stunned silence usually doesn't last too long, as I find myself making really sarcastic remarks to the coolwhip puddingcup one who doesn't seem to hear or care. oh well.

Chisai - I'll be happy to, the more so that now I'm itching to bake Perky's cake and just need to find a reason:-)
Kerosena - I actually watch her show for the same reason, only sometimes I go from "stunned silence" to yelling at my telly in disbelief. But you know, it's good to get it out of your system :-)

I know this was mentioned already but I have to say that a fresh pan of gooey-yet-crusty-on-the-outer-edge brownies would make me one happy outpatient!

Hey Brook - I've been kind of icky lately, so if you want to send something my way, I'm sure (ahhhchooo!) I would totally appreciate it and it would probably make me all better (cough, cough).
Now, if I were making a basket for someone, I'd probably do mini pound cakes, chocolate cream cheese muffins, and peanut butter cookies. All super simple, all practically impossible to mess up and all (save the muffins) freeze really well.

Perky, you kill me! Too funny!
Sometimes I watch that show just BECAUSE it's so insane. I sit there on my couch with my jaw dropped to my lap. I believe it's called "stunned silence."

With you there, 100%. Even if she did none of the above, her choppy speech cadence is so phony. Contrived to be sexy? I can't listen to her speak. The vowels are bad enough, but then she drags out her consonants. I ken not ooooowwwwait for you to make this. Ay purrrrfect pullllllllate of llllllluscious kem ik culs. Keep it fin tassss tic and away from me.
Jumped down off my soapbox. She does that to me. Might drrrrrrive me to drrrrrrink! ;)

Thanks Perky! And thanks:-) I wish i could send you a slice! Now, don't feel bad about using the cake mix... although I myself fet strangely guilty when using my slow cooker the other night because of her. Just like there is nothing wrong with using a slow cooker (unless you make a "meatloaf" with cream of mushroom and cream of cheddar soups in it), there is nothing wrong with using cake mixes and shortcuts. We all do this from time to time. What's wrong about Her Whose Name Should Not Be Spoken is not her even her bewilderingly excessive use of seasoning packets and mixes (which many times make me go "huh?" as I had no idea such things even existed!), but the fact that she manages to take a bunch of expensive pre-packaged pre-chopped and pre-blended products from the groshery store and Kreate something utterly inedible, all the while being incredibly proud of herself, claiming to save 'time AND money", "taking all the kredit," that, no wonder she has to drink so much and shove her koktails into her imaginary guests' throats the moment they cross her doorstep!
