a funny little song.

Well, as I`m waiting for pictures of the different things I`ve made lately, like challah, gingerbread men, and a couple of dinners. I thought I would share this link. So... be prepared to laugh and have a song stuck in your head for the rest of the day!:)

I apologize for my absence. =D

It has been a ridiculously long time since I last wrote; and for that I apologize!
I often *think* about blogging but rarely actually blog.
I have been cooking lately though! The cold weather makes the perfect excuse to bake, and cook!
I recently made a Paula Dean recipe called "Double Chocolate gooey Butter cake" oooh it was so good!
(how could it not be with chocolate and butter in the name?) :) I will definately be making it again... it tastes somewhat like a brownie with chocolate cheesecake on the top. It was good. Enough said. =D
Here is the recipe. You must make it. Like Now. :)

Paula Dean's Double chocolate gooey butter cake.

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus 8 more tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus additional butter, for greasing pan
• 1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
• 1 egg, plus 2 eggs
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and 1 stick melted butter, and stir until well blended. Pat mixture into prepared pan and set aside.

In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, and the cocoa powder. Lower the speed of the mixer, and add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until ingredients are well mixed. Slowly add the remaining 1 stick of melted butter, and the vanilla, continuing to beat the mixture until smooth. Stir in nuts with a rubber spatula. Spread filling over cake mixture in pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cake; the center should still be a little gooey when finished baking. Let cake partially cool on a wire rack before cutting into pieces.
