wishing for the cake doctor....

I have probably 1000 cookbooks. (Okay, exaggerating a BIT, but I have a LOT). I love them - all of them. Love to read through them, look over new recipes, I just love them! But there's one cookbook that I don't have - the Cake Doctor cookbooks. My sister Kelli gave one to my little sister for her bridal shower, and it has been haunting me ever since then that I don't have any of her cookbooks. I love the idea behind her books - using a cake mix as the first step to a fabulous dessert recipe. And I have BOXES of cake mix in my pantry (since I can get them on sale and with coupons for 25 cents!!) so now I just need inspiration. I want to take some kind of goody into Josiah's teacher for her appreciation "treat" tomorrow but I'm not sure what yet. I'm tempted to make pumpkin muffins, but it's not exactly seasonal! :) She loved them in the fall though, and I love them so much I'd eat them year round. We'll see if I can come up with something great. :)

GUess what I just bought you??????? I just found the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook for fifty cents at a yard sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHOo! I already have the book (although maybe I should try actually reading it sometime) so I bought it for you! I'll stick it in the mail on Monday! I love a great deal. You should see the stack of clothes with tags on them from the Children's PLace that I just got for fifty cents a piece. People are crazy to sell stuff that cheap!
