JACKIE’S GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
This was the first birthday cake I ever made for Doug. I was really trying to impress him so I needed a super good German chocolate cake recipe (at the time he had told me that was his favorite). One night before our shift at the Ritz, I verbalized this need and Jackie came to…
SNICKER BAR DECADENCE

You now have peanut…
RUSSIAN CREAM WITH RASPBERRIES ROMANOFF

EGGS BENEDICT

HUEVOS DIABLOS
In my opinion, this “Mexican-sounding recipe” should be entitled “UOVA ALLA SALSA DI POMODORO CON PARMIGIANO” simply meaning eggs with tomato sauce and parm cheese! It tends to be quite an unusual brunch entree that is extremely simple to prepare. Rich and very satisfying. 2 TBS. olive oil 1 lg. onion, minced 1 46-ounce can…
SUNDAY MORNING OMELET
I call this my “Sunday Morning Omelet” because even after being the old married woman I am (hee… hee..!) my loving husband makes this for me on Sunday mornings and even serves it to me as breakfast in bed. It kinda made me wonder at first what he had been up to! It is my…
