Laundry

Ben went back to school this week! Spring semester started on Tuesday. After three months of being at home all day and taking only a few online classes, he has felt a little overloaded this first week. I'm not surprised, he's enrolled in 8 classes! Here is a conversation from yesterday:

Ben: Did you do this laundry on purpose?
Me: No, I accidentally dropped all the clothes in there with soap and turned it on without realizing it.

Oh, Ben. Get some more sleep.

Yummy!

Today I made these little beauties:


They were the easiest and possibly the most delicious cookies ever. I like to call them "Caramel Surprises." Well, I do now because I just made that up. They are actually called Rolo Cookies. Here is the recipe:

1 box Devil's Food Cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 package Rolo's (I used the mini ones so I didn't have to unwrap anything)
powdered sugar (optional)

Mix cake mix, eggs and oil in bowl. Take a small ball of dough and form a ball around a Rolo. Only use enough dough to cover the Rolo so it can spread its goodness throughout the whole cookie. If you want, and I highly recommend doing this, roll each ball in powdered sugar. 

Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 7-8 minutes. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

This recipe is definitely going in my cookbook. I can't believe I had never heard of them until now! If you haven't tried them yet, make them. Do it now. You will thank me later.
