February 13, 2012 According to a new study out of Tel Aviv University in Israel, eating cake for breakfast can actually be a good thing. Finally someone 'studies' something worth while!

September 15, 2011 Who doesn't remember the Easy Bake Oven from their childhood? I most definitely do! I can still remember tearing the Christmas wrapping off the box to discover that I did indeed receive the best present in the world.
