In The Kitchen – Updates

November 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Well Jess is in the kitchen finishing up his chore of dishes and I am glad I am not the one having to do them although I was considerate and rinsed all the dishes well.

I finished the following…

  1. Shredded 10 bags of zucchini
  2. Cooked 5 bags of taco meat
  3. Made a double batch of broccoli cheese soup
  4. Made two dozen applesauce pancakes
I think I made a pretty good start on this but there is still a lot to do tomorrow.  The rest of the meat for chislic and meatballs is thawing along with the rhubarb that I dug out of the freezer.  Have a good night!  I know I am wiped out and still have more to do.

How-To Tuesday (Lazy Man’s German Chocolate Cake)

September 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It is Jesse’s birthday tomorrow but we are celebrating tonight because Andrew will be working tomorrow evening.  I always let each family member pick a dessert for their birthday and it doesn’t have to be cake (sometimes it isn’t either).  Jesse chose to have German Chocolate cake and the family is thrilled with his choice.  This recipe is something my mom has passed onto the family.  I love the simplicity of starting with a cake mix but making something so much more special!  You would never think this cake is from a cake mix.  I haven’t taken time do step by step pictures but here is one of the final project.
