Five Minute Cupcakes Thong Diaper

I was listening to the radio this morning, as Im wont to do, and the DJs were trying to come up with new inventions for famed British-accented informercial host Anthony "Sully" Sullivan to pitch.

On their list were such gems like the Welcome mat scale (to weigh your would-be online dates before they ever step into your home), the denim leg pillow for dogs (a pillow, made of denim, in the shape of human legs), and a thong diaper for babies...ya know, so they can lose the saggy butt look. The latter idea was then disqualified when a caller reminded them that SNL did that already.

What they were missing was this:

Unlike the poorly designed "Thong Diaper", this mini cupcake maker will make 7 mini cupcakes at a time in five minutes flat. Plus its easy to clean (how, Im not sure, but thats what the write-up says, okay?!! And you know those dont lie!!).

I can practically hear his pitch now: "...and if you order now, well throw in this professional-grade squedgie absolutely FREE! Its our gift to you!")

Oh, and, if youve never seen the SNL Thong Diaper, then...youre welcome:

Minute Apple Tart

I was looking for a quick dessert for our dinner on Sunday. I had some puff pastry in the freezer and some apples in the fruit bowl, so a quick search on the web found me this recipe for Minute Apple Tart.

It was very easy and absolutely delicious served with vanilla ice-cream!

2 minute Teriyaki Sauce

I feel guilty that I havent shared this recipe yet. It is so super easy and tasty its ridiculous! I got this from my mom and its great for a quick week night meal and tasty enough that you could make it for guests too! It only has 5 ingredients - all of which I always have on hand. I usually pour it over some chicken breasts and pop them in the oven for an hour while I cook some rice and veggies. My mom would usually do something more exciting like spareribs or something, but its so versatile you could do whatever you want! Throw in a wok with your stirfry veggies or let it simmer in the oven with some meat. Give it a try! Its a gem.

Teriyaki Sauce

1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground ginger

Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Pour over desired dish. Recommendations: pour over chicken breasts, pork spareribs, etc, and bake at 350 for about an hour. Or add to your stovetop stirfry during the last few minutes of cooking. Enjoy!
