I’ve added a new recipe to Martha’s Kitchen. Yes, it’s very easy to make. The original recipe called for more ingredients – flour, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar, white sugar and mashed bananas. I’ve simplified, made it easier and a lot quicker. This is a must try dish. Yes, I did remove a recipe – Carrot Cake Bars. Sorry!

As the morning unfolds on this the day of the February Daring Baker’s reveal, I’m proud to say I finished my challenge a few weeks ago, which could imply that this post was written and ready to auto publish at midnight. But no. I guess that with respect to me, it is possible to be too organized. Best laid plans, right? So here I am on my oldest son’s thirtieth birthday (shhhhh…..) writing about chocolate cake and strawberry banana ice cream, which, now that I think of it is incredibly appropriate since the chocolate cake I’m thinking of is flourless and my son’s food allergies and celiac’s issues make it a perfect birthday cake. Unfortunately, he’s not supposed to eat dairy products, either, so the ice cream is a rude accompaniment, packed full of heavy cream and milk. But he doesn’t care at this point, and a mother can’t exactly tell her thirty-year-old how to live his life. Actually, she can, but I wouldn’t be that mother, choosing instead to enjoy my son’s company whenever I can and hoping that some day, he’ll take his health issues seriously. This February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef who have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge. Clearly I chose to have some fun with my ice cream. I couldn’t resist the idea of coming up with flavors that remind me of a banana split. A chocolate valentino cake is completely flourless and with very few ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate, butter and eggs. Period. To make it, the procedure is fairly routine: melt the chocolate with the butter and cool….

Cabbage Soup with Chicken and PorkI spent the weekend with Kat of Kat’ s Big Fish and she put together this amazing soup with a few simple ingredients she had on hand which filled the kitchen with the aroma of comfort food. This hearty soup with lots of vegetables and meat is a simple one pot meal. Great comfort food for a cold winter evening.Gina’s Weight Watcher RecipesServings: 8 • Time: 45

Daring Bakers Challenge…Chocolate Valentino
This months Daring Baker Challenge was truly one of my favorites! I absolutely loved it and I knew that I would the minute I saw it!!! The cake was perfect and the prospect of making ice cream was wonderful (more on that later). To make this event even more wonderful was the fact that I had my good friend Jenn The Leftover Queen here during the month of February! The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef. We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge. Thanks Dharm and Wendy for a great choice! I do have a confession though…somehow I never got around to making the ice cream! I did make a fresh berry sauce that went with it wonderfully but the ice cream never happened (no one here likes vanilla ice and I don’t have a machine) and I didn’t get pictures of the berries. Does it count then that I really did the challenge? I think so! We made this for a really fun dinner we had with Jenn and her hubby Roberto and 3 other friends of mine that we invited. This was a wonderful ending to a great meal. Unfortunatley by the time dessert was served I got no pictures of the slices! This cake was so rich, gooey, creamy and full of chocolate flavor. I can’t wait for my next excuse to make this… Chocolate Valentino Preparation Time: 20 minutes 16 ounces (1 pound) (454 grams) of semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped ½ cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons (146 grams total) of unsalted butter 5 large eggs separated 1. Put chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water) and melt, stirring often. 2. While your chocolate butter mixture is cooling. Butter your pan and line with a parchment circle then butter the parchment. 3. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and put into two medium/large bowls. 4. Whip the egg whites in a medium/large grease free bowl until stiff peaks are formed (do not over-whip or the cake will be dry). 5. With the same beater beat the egg yolks together. 6. Add the egg yolks to the cooled chocolate. 7. …

Mama Mia! Greek Night In

There’s a Greek bistro not too far from where I live called Apollonia . It rates as one of the casual places I’ve enjoyed locally whose food has had me thinking about it long after I’ve eaten there. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat Greek food very often, and so my weary taste buds long for something unique. Or, it could be that the food is just plain delicious. Valentine’s week (and I have to call it that since my husband treated me to days of lovely surprises) one of my gifts was dinner at Apollonia. Ohhh, the hummos and the dolmathakia. The spanakopita and tyropita. The souvlaki. Sheer heaven. Clearly, there was a Greek dinner in the works for us at home after this, and I decided that since the Academy Awards was rapidly approaching, I’d spend the day in the kitchen cooking and watching what my husband calls my “pre-game show” of all things Oscars: gowns and botox lips, padded rumps and tatooed eyeliner. You’ve got to love Hollywood at least once a year. No sooner had I begun the prepping than my oldest son called to ask what we were doing. “Watching the Oscars and eating Greek food. Why?” I asked. “Because I’m coming over,” he told me and with a quick “See Yah,” he hung up leaving me with my list of what to chop when and Mama Mia running through my mind. Not the movie — the song. Well, actually, both. The connection? My son is a huge ABBA fan and my husband and I are pretty sappy over the movie, too. I know. You can think what you will, but since I was actually around when ABBA’s songs routinely blasted from my car radio, I can be sappy about …
