La Bete Noire or Flourless Chocolate Cake

   Dark chocolate is a downfall of mine.  I love it!  I had rather have a good salad than a bowl of ice cream, but when it comes to dark chocolate I cannot turn it down.   This recipe for this sinful Chocolate Cake appeared in Bon Appetit in September 2006.  The picture on the front cover  [...]

Cornbread Muffins with Cheese and Chilies- another Paula Dean recipe

     Today was a great day at school!  Especially after yesterday.  I was not sure I wanted to return.  But, alas I did and have to say it was a fulfilling day at that.  There are a few little projects  needing  some work, if you know what I mean.   What would teachers do if every student was perfect?  Some of [...]
