1 cup quick cooking oats
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2. In a small bowl, combine milk and oats; let soak for 15 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, beat together egg and oil; stir in oatmeal mixture. In a third bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 box Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix
1 15 oz. can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
Chocolate chips

Directions

Mix together, drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet, bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. Now, the secret is to let them cool and store for a few hours in a closed container (hard to do but please, do it for me!). It just does something to it that makes the cookie exactly how I like it. Oh, and I used jumbo semi-sweet chocolate chips because that's what Lee's uses :)

Cream Cheese Cookies

Absolutely the easiest, tastiest cookies ever! They are my fill-in cookies during Christmas when I don't have the time or energy to spend too many hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

1 cube butter, softened
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 pkg cake mix
Sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Mix ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Add sprinkles, if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

That's it! Too easy!
White and yellow cake mixes are delicious; chocolate is good but not pretty; I've heard lemon is delicious, but I personally haven't tried it.

Shandee's Famous Overnight Bubble Bread

Caveat: OK, so this isn't exactly healthy, per se. If you'd like to make it healthier, try whole wheat rolls and sugar free pudding mix. Or, just save this for a special occasion, like Christmas morning -- when calories don't count!

Ingredients

1/2 cup pecan halves (optional)
18 frozen dinner rolls
1 (3.5 oz) package cook and serve butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions

1. Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle pecans in bottom of pan (optional). Place frozen dinner rolls in a single layer on top of pecans. Sprinkle dry pudding mix over the top. (Yeah, that's right - totally dry!)

2. Combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until boiling, then pour over rolls. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and allow to stand overnight.

3. In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.

If you don't want to use frozen rolls, you can make your own bread. Follow the recipe as directed, but let rise in a slightly warm oven for about 30 minutes and then bake.
