I’ve pretty much put most of my raised garden beds
to bed for the winter.
The exceptions: my green beans, tomatoes, and
strawberries….they’re still producing fruit and vegetables.
This morning, I harvested yet another large bucket
of green beans.
This bucket’s going to
be used for dinner tonight. I’m thinking
of cooking good old fashioned red potatoes, onions, and green beans for our
meal.
Yesterday, I played a little, with a kitchen tool I
brought home from my Mom’s place.
I had
tried to get my sister to take it home with her; she said no, she doesn’t bake
enough. She insisted since I bake and
cook more than she does, that I should bring home this bad boy. Without hesitation, I jumped on it; and
brought this Kitchen Aid Professional 600 home with me.
He’s sitting proudly on a shelf, set up
conveniently in my living room, because I don’t have room in the kitchen to
store him, along with several other items.
Now back to playing with the Kitchen Aid
Professional mixer. While taking a break
from working over the weekend, I watched a DVR’d episode of Valerie
Bertinelli’s cooking show. She made this
awesome looking cake for her family; it was called the Sicilian
Love Cake. This recipe
caught my eye because Valerie was using ricotta and mascarpone cheeses in the
cake. When we came home Sunday night, I told Bulldog Man I was going to try to
make this cake sometime this week.

Last
night, I made the Sicilian
Love Cake. OMG, talk
about delicious, even Bulldog Man loved it.
The texture was so different, I don’t know how to best describe
it……other than you just feel the need to push your face into it!!! Bahahahahahahah…..
We each had a small piece, and really enjoyed
it. I wish y’all lived closer; I would
share the cake with you. I know you
would really enjoy it!!!! Since you
don’t live close, I’m going to cut this cake into pieces and freeze it. Hopefully, it will hold up to the freezer
over time.
Bulldog Man and I are trying to be good so one little piece of this
cake won’t hurt us. The trick to trying
to be healthy is to do everything within moderation, and not think of it as a
diet, just a way of life. If you love
ricotta cheese, this recipe is worth trying.
