VALENZANO

I'm a mother of 4 (ages 19, 5, 3, and 9 months) and cooking is my outlet. I love to bake and make cakes. My pics of Sophie's cake is so far my favorite. It look forever to make the flowers with faces, but I had a blast. I love trying new recipes and surprising people with loaves of bread and cakes. I love cooking with my kids. My son thinks every Mother in the world bakes cookies. Family dinners are a big thing in our house.

Very good soup. I had some Lobster bisque at a French restaurant in Hawaii, and I was hoping this was similar. It wasn't, but still very good. It could use a bit more flavor, maybe some spices, but I will make it again.

Good recipe. Very easy to make. I little runny, but that could have been my fault. Nice smooth flavor. Next time I might use dark brown sugar, and use a little less, it was a bit sweet for me. Husband liked it though, and he hates everything.

Really good! I was expecting more of a pudding, but it was like baked yams. I added just a touch of ground cloves. YUMMY!! I need to make this for the next holiday!!!!

Ok, WOW!!!! What an easy and yummy dish!! My picky husband called this dish "excellent." Not to mention the five people who have walked by my desk so far saying. "What smells so good!" I brought some leftovers into work with me. I'm gonna make a batch for Superbowl!! Thanks!

Creamy Lemon Cake

Pretty good cake. Lemon isn't my favorite, but I made it for a friend who wanted lemon cake for his birthday. Him and his wife ate every bite, even after a huge dinner. And they took most of it home afterwards, so I guess it was pretty good. I added fresh lemon juice to the jello and icing, made the icing a little running.

Interesting recipe. You really need to like molasses. I might try it again w/o the molasses. Pretty good with vanilla ice cream.

I love this recipe. I use chopped walnuts though and skip the celery, and sometimes just a touch of sourcream. I get rave reviews every time!

Wow! Even my picky husband liked this one, and he hates spinach! Making it for a party next month, should be a hit! I think I'll add a little feta cheese and candied walnuts. Thanks, great recipe.
