I was fortunate to have a mother that was a fabulous cook and a father who would only purchase the finer cuts of meat. Mom was German and Dad was Italian, mom could cook anything and it always had outstanding flavor. I learned everything I know from her and cooked with her as I was growing up, she is now in her 80's and enjoys my cooking especially when I am making some of her recipes. Thanks to my mom, I love to cook.

Gooey Butter Cake II
Wonderful treat with coffee! This turns out more like a desert bar than a cake and a perfect passing dish for a breakfast buffet/luncheon.I whipped this up in my kitchen aid mixer in litterally minutes. I made two changes because the cake mix is plenty sweet itself. I cut back on the powdered sugar and used only 2 1/2 cups and used 1 tsp vanilla extract instead of almond. Turned out beautiful!! I only baked for 40 minutes as it was ready, start checking at 30 minutes. Should come out of the oven still a bit soft on top. I would avoid baking this in a glass or pyrex pan, the bottom could easily burn.

Easy Potato Sausage Soup
Easy and oooh so yummy! I was expecting company and needed to make something quick, tired from hosting a birthday party the day before, this recipe was just the trick! I love celery in almost any soup, so I added a few diced stalks while cooking the onions. I like to brown my meat as well, so did that after onions and celery cooked. Threw in a minced garlic and 3 bouillon cubes in place of the salt. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and the result was outstanding, My company loved it too and I will add this to my list of soups to make.

Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens
Thanks for the great idea!! My first year with homegrown beets in the garden and I almost threw out one of the best parts! Thankfully I discovered this recipe before the greens were discarded. I also love onions and felt a small diced onion was the perfect addition. I will make this again and again.
