So to try help my mood, today the kids have a swim in the little kiddie pool in the back yard...it's very hot at the moment..so it's good for them, they seem to be like me and don't cope with the heat so well and need some cool down time occasionally, wish I could fit in with them!
Later on Rat_girl and I made some cake mix cookies with mini M&Ms...I'll put the recipe below, so ridiculously easy and can be quite cheap to make also.
Cake Mix Cookies
1 x packet cake mix
60ml of oil (I sometimes find this is a wee bit too much)
2 x eggs
Any add ins you want
Mix together then add your add in's. Roll into walnut size balls place on a lined tray and bake for about 12-15mins. Oven I think about 150/170c.
Today we used homebrand vanilla cake mix (cost less than $1) and mini m&ms. I've also made them plain with no add ins.
Chocolate cake mix (again cheap one) with some rice bubble and dusted with some icing mixture before baking.
The options for add ins are endless really. And you can use this for any packet cake mix you like and very easy for the kids to help with.
