Veal Chop with Portabello Mushrooms
ONe of the best recipes I've ever made. My husband actually said, "it was good." He's super picky. I will keep this one in my arsenal!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze
Put this on top of "too much chocolate cake" from this site. super easy to make. Going to add butterscotch next time! Used a trick with a pot filled with water and a Pyrex bowl floated inside since I didn't have a double boiler. Worked perfect and I didn't need to go out an buy another gadget.

Too Much Chocolate Cake
Good and SUPER easy with a stand mixer! I made it topped with the satiny chocolate glaze as suggested by another reviewer. Would make it again and would be good to bring to a party or potluck. I am going to try cupcakes next time. Used Duncan Hines mix.
