I want to start out by expressing how much I appreciate the blog love so many of you have bestowed upon me these last few days! I so appreciate the amazing comments and I am grateful for all of you who took the time to vote for me over at The Bump! I am so honored to have been selected as a finalist and if it wasn’t for the following bloggers to nominate me, I wouldn’t have had the chance in the first place!

Thanks again for the bloggy love and I’ll say it a million times, I have the BEST followers!!!
Alright, let’s Spice It Up…
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I hate to cook. I actually don’t cook, I cut and dump. If you missed that post, you can find it here.
That’s right ladies, I just cut open the package and dump it in. So you will most likely never find me posting any kind of cooking advice…unless of course it was such a good secret that I just had to share.
Well, Halloween is fast approaching and my son (with his nut allergy) is so limited to the kinds of candy he can eat, I always make the most unbelievable cut and dump that he enjoys, especially this time of year. Yes, even my picky-eater-allergy-suffering son LOVES it!
It takes me approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds to pull this beauty together.
Ready?
Cut and dump Spice Cake Mix: *Don’t follow the directions on the box, just cut and dump!
Cut and Dump Pure Pumpkin (use half of the big can, 15 oz…I always make two cakes at a time so I buy the big one)
Dump ¼ cup of water and stir it all up in one big bowl. (Actually, you should probably use a mixer, but I think a few turns with a spoon does the job…you decide).
Dump this into your favorite baking dish (sprayed of course) and bake for 30 minutes at 350.
Note: When serving, I usually spice it up by dumping some powdered sugar on top after it cools.
Now ladies, a good cut and dump doesn’t get much better than that, so go spice it up and tell me how it goes!
Perfect recipie for me, as I too, am a (gasp!) cut and dumper! Thanks!
I bought the stuff to make this today. Except I bought yummy icing to put on it 'cause that's how I roll. But I'm bookmarking this page so I don't screw it up when I make it tomorrow.
This is a great recipe – going to try to make it for my mom who can't eat alot of sweets!! Thanks!
How could I have missed this post?!
I'm so going to try this this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yea I have my covered dish for next week-end!!
You have an award waiting for
you on my blog! Come and accept your award
Too funny! I did miss your cut & dump post. but brilliant. I totally love how you embrace it!
As you know I love cooking/baking but I'm also an amazing cheat when I want to be. As far as everyone I know is concerned everything out of my kitchen is made from scratch.
…What they don't know is the "toilet paper cupboard" is actually my secret place for all things tinned, in a jar, microwavable and EASY. I stack the toilet paper rolls in front of it all so no one sees… not because I'm embarrassed by it, but I kind of get a thrill from seeing how long I can fool them all for.
Thanks for the shout out! Congrats on being a top mommy blog! That rocks!
Love this!!! I too seriously lack the desire/motivation to cook and would have no problem (if it was an affordable option) doing takeout every night
Absolutely love spice/pumpkin cakes & breads….this recipe is SO calling my name!!
