NUMMY Chocolate Orange CREAM PUFFS - Amazingly Simple!

This is a WONDERFULLY simple cream puff recipe I've used for many years! I found it in my well used Betty Crocker cookbook that is older than I am, haha.  My teen son just made some for our family dessert night but this would be perfect for holiday gatherings as well.

Muffin in a Mug

A high fiber, low carb muffin

Muffin in a Mug (also called a MIM or Muffin in a Minute but I cook this one longer, lol) is a great treat when you are in a hurry, only have a microwave to cook, or need to add more fiber to your diet.   This is a very flexible recipe, having hundreds of variations.  After reading many of them on the Atkins forum, I decided to try some additions.   This is what I ended up with...

Chocolate Pudding & Pie Filling

About 5 carbs per serving

This pudding is intended for those who need a very low carb alternative.

Candy Bird Nests

This Spring the kids and I made those candy 'bird nests'. Kind of like rice krispy treats only cute. It is a slow process but easy and takes only a few ingredients. I found this recipe somewhere online. You can use just half the ingredients if you only want one pan. I liked that these were not sickeningly sweet. Some recipes use other things for nest material.
