Molten Lava Cake (Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker)
1 cake mix of your choice
Plus the ingredients to make it on the back of the box (egg, oil, water)
1 container of frosting of your choice
Mix cake mix as box tells you to. Then using the medium scoop, scoop 10- 12 scoops on the top of the cake. DO NOT mix it in! Just leave it as it and NO LID! Bake in Microwave for 10-12 minutes. Most microwaves it is only 10 minutes. But, you'll know it is done when the cake looks like a done cake. The frosting sinks to the bottom. Scoop and serve with ice cream!

Shape Poem
I am Cindy Circle
Watch me turn
Round and round
And you will learn
I'm not straight and
I don't bend
My outside edges
Never end!
Sammy Square is my name
My four sides are just the same
Turn me around, I don't care
I'm always the same, I'm a square!
I am Danny Diamond
I am like a kite
But I'm really just a square
Whose corners are pulled tight!
Ricky rectangle is my name
My four sides are not the same
Two are short and two are long
Count my sides, come along
1-2-3-4
Tommy Triangle is the name for me
Count my sides - there's 1-2-3
I am Ollie Oval
A football shape is mine
Some people think that I'm an egg
But I think I look fine!
OR
Opal Oval is my name.
The circle and I are not the same.
The circle is round, as round can be.
I am shaped like an egg as you can see
Harry Heart is my name
The shape I make is my fame
With a point on the bottom and two humps on top
When it comes to love I just can't stop!
Watch me turn
Round and round
And you will learn
I'm not straight and
I don't bend
My outside edges
Never end!

Number Writing Poem~ #2
Pull straight down a 1 is fun,
That’s the way to make a 1.
Around, and down, and out go you,
That's the way to make a 2.
Around, and around, just like a bee,
That's the way to make a 3.
Down, across, and down once more,
That's the way to make a 4.
Short neck, tummy fat,
Number 5 wears a hat.
Down, around, in a circle you go,
That's a six, just as you know.
Straight across, slide down from heaven,
That's the way to make a 7.
First a snake, then come back straight,
That's the way to make an 8.
First a ball and then a line,
That's the way to make a 9.
Tall straight, circle then,
hat's the way to make a 10
That’s the way to make a 1.
Around, and down, and out go you,
That's the way to make a 2.
Around, and around, just like a bee,
That's the way to make a 3.
Down, across, and down once more,
That's the way to make a 4.
Short neck, tummy fat,
Number 5 wears a hat.
Down, around, in a circle you go,
That's a six, just as you know.
Straight across, slide down from heaven,
That's the way to make a 7.
First a snake, then come back straight,
That's the way to make an 8.
First a ball and then a line,
That's the way to make a 9.
Tall straight, circle then,
hat's the way to make a 10

Number 1
is like a stick
A straight line down
that's very quick!
For number 2
go right around
Then make a line
across the ground!
Go right around
What will it be?
Go round again
to make a 3!
Down and over
and down some more
That's the way
to make a 4!
Go down and around
Then you stop
Finish the 5
with a line on top!
Make a curve
Then a loop
There are no tricks
to making a 6!
Across the sky
and down from heaven
That's the way
to make a 7!
Make an "S"
And then don't wait
Go up again
to make an 8!
Make a loop
And then a line
That's the way
to make a 9!
Make a 1
and then an 0
10 are all your fingers
you know!

Bacon and Cheese Chicken---Crockpot
Ingredients
2 T olive oil
4-6 chicken breast halves, or equivalent bird pieces
12 pieces cooked and crumbled bacon
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Direction
Put the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the bottom of your crock and spread it around. If you are using thighs or fattier cuts of meat, this step is probably optional. Put the chicken in the crock on top of the oil. In a small bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce and the ranch dressing. Pour sauce over the top of the chicken. Add the shredded cheese and the crumbled bacon to the crock, getting between the chicken pieces, if you can. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4. The cooking time will depend on how thick your chicken pieces are, and if they are fresh or frozen.
