Red Velvet Cake
I have to admit that I am not much of a cake girl, but knowing that I would be baking in my mothers fancy convection oven sealed the deal. Cake was for desert. The next step was what kind of cake should I make. I was thinking chocolate and then carrot, and in the end I wanted something that would go well with cream cheese frosting. I borrowed the cake recipe from Martha Stewart, and added a little less coco powder than she did. I wanted this cake to scream red, and it did. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cake and its sinfully good frosting.

Full RecipePrime Rib
This was my first prime rib, and I have to say it came out pretty good. When I got the prime rib home from the store I realized how big it was, and I got a little scared. Worried that I would over cook it, under cook it. In the end I put my faith into my probe thermometer, and like always it delivered. The flavor of the meat with horseradish was just mouth watering. It was a special treat to prepare this fine piece of meat for my family.
