1 (18 oz) box devil’s food cake mix 1 (15 oz) can solid pack pumpkin

Mix the two ingredients together. Don’t add anything else that may be mentioned on the box. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Fulfilling SmoothieCrystal Hogg

8 oz. Activia light yogurt (whatever flavors you like) ¼ cup carrot juice ½ cup rice milk ½ tsp. ground flax seed (optional) 1 ½ cups frozen fruit (I suggest two variations, peaches for a peach carrot smoothie or ½ cup strawberries and a ripe banana work well)

This smoothie is great tasting and full of nutrients and fiber. You can have it as a snack or use it for an on the go meal. Place frozen fruit in the blender first and then add the rest of the ingredients to the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour in cup and go. You can throw in one or two ice cubes if it’s not frozen enough. You can also add more milk if it becomes too thick.
