Prepare a 9x13baking dish, grease and lightly dust with flour. set aside.
You will need 1 boxed lemon cake mix, Betty Crocker, or Dunken Hinz without the pudding if you can find it. Mix according to package directions, set oven according to the instructions.
In the mix you will add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Orange zest, plus juice one half of the orange. In the bottom of the baking dish dice up 3/4 of a can of peaches. Now for added flavor, decrease the amount of water for the cake mix and use part of the peach juice. Mix according to package directions, and bake. I used orange frosting to top off all the flavors. This turned out to be a surprisingly tasty cake. Hope you'll give it a try.

Mouth Watering Brownies
These are for serious chocolate lovers, as they will take your very breath away!
preheat your oven @ 325 F and butter pan, then dust lightly with flour. Next crush 3 (5 3/4") candy canes in a plastic bag and set aside.
Here's what you'll need.
4 oz. York peppermint pattie, chopped 1/4 cup chocolate chips, for melting.
Basic Brownie Batter.-.-.
1 stick of unsalted butter, plus what you'll need to prepare your baking pan with.
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour, plus extra for dusting pan.
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa. I used Hershey's and it worked great. Nestles works equally well.
In a heat proof bowl, over a pot of simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stir until melted and smooth. Add York peppermint patties and repeat process of stirring. Remove bowl from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl lightly beat together sugars, eggs, vanilla, and salt until combined, stir in the cooled chocolate mixture, add flour and cocoa and stir until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 25-28 minutes or until pic inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Cool Brownies 20-30 minutes, meanwhile, melt chocolate chip morsels by 30 second increaments so as not to burn the chocolate, and stir in between so they melt quicker.., then pour over brownies and smooth out with back of spoon, sprinkle with peppermint candy canes, and mini marshmellows (if using) Enjoy!!

Helpful Tips and FYI's
Stir-fry verses sauteing: These techniques share similarities. Both methods cook food items quickly in small amounts of fat.
However stir-frying cooks food over intensely high heat, with constant stirring. Sauteing involves only moderately high heat, and the food rests frequently, instead of being in constant motion.
Some of the best foods to saute are: cuts of beef tenderloin, fish fillets, chicken breasts even asparagus tips turn out wonderfully when sauted. Stir-fry delights can be almost any thing your heart desires. I don't suggest lettuce unless you desire wilted lettuce for a dish, before you do that look to another method of preparing.
For today folks thats all the chatter I have for you. I'll see you in a few days! Stay safe and enjoy life!
