I discovered this recipe last year and made it for a quick chocolate fix while I was pregnant.  I thought I would re-post for anyone looking for a simple dessert recipe for their special someone on Valentine's Day.  

The first recipe is from the February 2011 Woman's Day Magazine (don't look at the nutrition info... just tell yourself its fat free).  Who knew molten cakes were so easy to make!

(I tried to make it look pretty....)

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus some for ramekins*
1 Tbsp flour, plus some for ramekins
1/3 cup bittersweet choc chips (I used semisweet and it was fine...I am going to try peanut butter chips next!)
1 large egg, plus one yolk
2 Tbsp sugar

*It calls for 2- 6oz ramekins, which I don't have.  I used Pyrex 1 cup glass dishes and those worked great! 

1. Heat oven to 450 & butter/flour 2- 6oz ramekins
2. Heat butter & chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals until melted (I would say about 1 minute)
3. Use a mixer and blend eggs & sugar until smooth, add chocolate mixture and flour
4. Pour into ramekins and bake until center is jiggly (8-10 minutes).  Let stand about 1 minute and run knife around edges.
5. Invert onto a plate.  No, this is NOT easy at first.  Also, dont put the ice cream (which you must have with this!) on the plate BEFORE you do this.  It's easier to put the plate on top, then flip.  Trust me.

Enjoy!  This is making my mouth water... I may have to make this sometime soon. 



Once again, this is from Woman's Day Magazine, not an original recipe! 

Meijer deal! $1.75 Gerber sleepers!

I happened to make a quick trip to Meijer tonight and I found a jackpot in the baby clearance.  Baby G is HUGE and she has outgrown her 12 month sleepers (she is 7 months...).  Alas, I wanted a cheap stockup to get us into spring where she has more hand-me-downs to wear.

It's hard to see, but they are marked down to $5.50!

Here's how to score a great deal:

1. Log-in to your mperks account and add the 50% off clearance perks. 
2. Go to Gerber to print off coupons for $2 off 2.  I like to print these and keep them in my binder for clearance deals like this!
3. Head to Meijer!  They ring up $5.50, but when you add your Mperks, it takes 50% off every item.  
4. Here's the addition (buy 2 or more): $5.50 each -50% off = $2.75 each.  Add the $2.00 off 2 coupon and it makes them $1.75 for 2 sleepers.  

Let me know if you find this deal!  There are also thermal ones for $4.  I may have to head back tomorrow.  Don't forget about all of your preggo friends and family...what a great gift filler!
