Take two boxes of cake mix, one angel food and one of your choice of flavors. Combine. Combo can be stored in your pantry.
Measure THREE tablespoons of the mixed mixes into a coffee cup. Add TWO tablespoons water. Microwave for ONE minute. I'm told the result is something like a lava cake. And it's portion-controlled!

This one is super-easy to keep clean due to no carpet. Interestingly, Zippy Cat's life-long allergy went away when we moved out of the old house. No more drippy nosed cat, and he's been much friendlier and happier. :)
The neighbors are really nice too, which is a HUGE change.
