1 Yellow cake mix
1 stick of melted butter

you mix all of these items together and then pat into the bottom of a greased 9 by 13 pan. This will serve as the bottom of the cake and taste very good.

Beat the cream cheese till it is smooth, then add the eggs, vanilla, and butter. Mix well. Then you add the pound of powdered sugar and mix well again. Once you have done all of this, you need to spread it over the top of th cake batter that you have already put in the 9 by 13 pan. Then bake 40-50 min. the center should be a little gooey.
Sorry that I don't have any pictures, i don't know how i would use mom's camera and put the pictures on the computer without her knowing. I don't want her to know because I am seeing how long it will take her before she realizes that I have been posting on her blog.

salt dough

This isn't an eating recipie, it is a playdough recipie. We made this once to have at Molly or Ella's Halloween party we made scary halloween thingies. I made a tombstone that said "R.I.P" underneath that it said " William M. Hale 1992-2006" William is my Bro. tonight though, my sister and I made salt malacules (is that spelled right?). This is for an extra credit project, you might be able to see good pictures on moms other blog. I dont know how to put pictures on here yet. Here is how you make them.

4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1-1/2 cups hot water (from tap)

Mix the salt and flour together, then gradually add the water until the dough becomes elastic. (Some recipes call for 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil at this point.) If your mixture turns out too sticky, simply add more flour. If it turns out too crumbly, simply add more water. Knead the dough until it’s a good consistency—then get out rolling pins, cups, bowls, straws, cookie cutters, plastic utensils, and let the fun begin!
If you want colored dough, mix food coloring, powdered drink mix, or paint into the water before adding it to the dry ingredients. Or you can paint your creations after baking them at 200 degrees. Baking times will vary depending on the size and thickness of the object, but make sure that all of it is hard. If the dough starts to darken before cooking is complete, cover with aluminum foil. Painted keepsakes will need to be sealed on all sides with clear varnish or polyurethane spray.
You can store your salt dough in a sealed container in the refrigerator, but usually not more than a couple of days.
this is really fun to play with, Molly has been playing with it for about 2 hours now and she still isn't done playing. Have Fun!!!
