My Week~

My week has been fairly boring. School, work, school, work. Although Tuesday, I took the day off with Panda and instead we went and got udon. Funny enough, one of the girls in my math class works at the place we always go to get udon, and recognized me. She even remembered my order!

Shrimp tempura udon, tempura on the side~

Wednesday, my science teacher took the day off, so I ended up going shopping and enjoying some me-time. And I noticed...I have this strange habit of buying things in specific colour schemes that vary from day to day...


I wish I was much more exciting than this, I really do! I just got a new iPhone 4S, so I'm hoping I can at least document my life a little better.

Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

Hello Ladies! I thought today I would share another recipe I came across and tried because it is wonderful!

I love, love, LOVE desserts. Especially cakes and rice crispy treats. So when I serendipitously came across a recipe for Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats, I kind of needed to try it. I found it through a tumblr called "Food Porn" which only posts photos of delicious looking foods and occasionally recipes. I saw the post and it linked to another blog that I quickly fell in love with called "Chef In Training". It was a simple recipe that I knew I had to try immediately. So I donned my apron and whipped it together!

The recipe:
1 bag of mini marshmallows
6 cups rice crispy cereal
1/3-2/3 cup cake batter
3 tbsp butter or margarine

In the Chef In Training recipe, she recommends yellow cake batter. I like yellow cake batter, but I LOVE white cake batter, so I opted for white. She also uses sprinkles in hers, and while I love sprinkles, I decided not to use them the first time I made them.
It follows like a regular rice crispy recipe. Melt the 3 tbsp of butter in a large pot, then add marshmallows. There will never be anything as beautiful to me as when the marshmallows puff up and start to melt~
When the marshmallows are all melted, slowly add the cake batter. One spoon at a time is recommended until you get the desired cake batter taste. I used 2/3 cups of cake batter because I can never get enough of the taste. My marshmallow fluff looked a little more yellow than I thought it would, but it still tasted fantastic.
Then you add it the rice crispies. I added 2 cups at a time to try to mix it evenly. After that, I poured it into a cake pan and let it cool.
After about 30-45 minutes, I cut them into squares. They were still really warm and soft, so they kind of molded into each other after they were stacked. But they were absolutely delicious~

I hope everyone enjoyed this! And I'll attempt to start blogging more
