There we go again! Office talk...

Around a break table....have you noticed???? Some of the most mundane, weird, odd, everyday, embarrassing, incredible, kind, and mean conversations can be exchanged...

In mine we are all dieting ALL THE TIME...

So, I liked this little tidbit and wanted to share it here..

Take one cake mix, add one diet soda and mix on whip with your electric mixer at least 1-2 minutes (that can seem like a long time--sometimes)

Bake according to the box instructions.....easy, yummy

I made a white cake mix with diet cherry 7-up..very good
carrot cake with ginger ale...pretty yummy too...

Quicker ol meals

I had these saved in my hope chest.

Crockpot clean up

I have a small, medium, and large crockpot. They make some meals just--easy!

Cleanup is not always easy though. Just like what I did with the chile verde--this is what I do (maybe it will be helpful to you)

1. After I empty the crockpot of the food I have cooked while the crockpot is still "hot"
2. I then empty a boiling teapot of water up to the cooking line left by the food
3. I put the lid on

4. I go to work
5. 10+ hours later it nearly wipes clean with a cloth
a. this time while I was warming up dinner
b. I was washing up the crockpot

6. If there are spots that remain I use Bartenders Friend to remove those
7. Rinse
8. Dry
9. It is ready for the next time.

EASY
