                                                                      Mini Cheesecakes @ Diva's

These little delicacies are so light and delish you almost forget they are loaded with calories. Good ones because they are all organic ingredients and they are Mini's..
So as  Elizabeth Taylor use to say a bite of anything won't hurt. You can always spit out the rest... Hmmm don't think you will do that when you take just one bite.!

I make these with Philadelphia Cream Cheese and only about 1+ cup of white sugar, eggs and real vanilla, whip everything together and pour cupcake liners 3/4 fill. Cook 15+ minutes until jiggly, take out of oven and put on your raspberry topping, if you want the other toppings you have to cool them down a bit so it wont all melt. Cool the tray in the freezer for 15+ minutes, then remove from pan and store in a good freezer container. I use my Tupperware cake containers because they are air tight and these little babies are too precious to get freezer burn! they usually have a shelf life of 3+ months but I would guess they will not be around that long. ....:)

I hope this blog makes you smile and think I can have dessert today, they are Mini's after all and Elizabeth Taylor said I can. Go dessert everyone we all need a little Dessert.

Saving Grace?

Beef Stew

Like the kid says at the end of the TV show what does that mean? Well let me tell you what it means for me.

When things are hectic, chaotic, stressful.... or anything else( ectic ) I can usually be found doing one of (3) things. Cleaning, reading, cooking. Not necessarily in that order either.

I had one of those weeks this week,,, with extra Gaga duties, a big catering event to prep for, and a sick cat, then toss in my Mother for extra measure, I guess you could say I hit the Mother load of Ectic.... YUCK!

So what do you do? I think well if only I was a drinker, a couple of those stiff drinks would certainly make this all better, naw I don't like liquor that much, how about a smoke, no don't like the smell, what about just staying in bed all day, no I have arthritis that alone will kick a much stronger than I to their knees in Pain if they lay around too long.

So I cooked and cleaned, and cursed a small bit out of frustration, Yep I am not perfect, Sorry to disappoint everyone, but as my so gracious granddaughter reminded Me recently I don't even go to church so what would I know.! Well she is partly right, I don't go to church but I do believe and how we practice that belief is up to us, so I guess I am practicing my beliefs in my Kitchen, on my Chair in the garden reading, or when I have a vacuum in my hand cleaning my house and of course there is always my four -legged friends who keep me sane even though they all leave a surprise for you you really don't want. ...

We are all different in this world, we are never perfect, rarely not sinful, forgiving we try? accepting mostly, Loving not always, understanding still working on it, but always, always in God's SAVING GRACE!
Maybe I should make this my new Mantra, no I probably screw it up eventually. Gotta Love Ya Diva.

Stuffed with Meat Lasagna

Divadish's Lasagna is not your average dry, tasteless slice of mushy pasta served up at your local restaurant... Yuck to that.. What is though is a mouthful of Yum.

Layer by layer of delicious white wine red meat sauce then a layer of (3) cheese seasoned cheese, sliced Italian sausages, and spoonfuls of smooth Basil Ricotta.
Repeat this till the full size pan is one inch from the top of rim, then bake to all the flavors and cheeses melt app. 1+ hours @ 350'

This baby weighs a Ton, and that is the way it is suppose to be if made right, it should be loaded with sausages, meats, cheese, and repeat, making this a mouthwatering experience you can't wait to sink your teeth into. I will guarantee you will not taste any better anywhere, so I have been told by countless clients who have had My Lasagna. A full pan serves app. 30+ Big servings and sells for $320.00 a pan that is $10.00 a serving,,, really where can you go and I won't mention names here but one starts with a B_____, and get a slice of Original Italian Recipe from the Old Country and made just for You for just $10.00!!!! a serving....

New York Apple Pie!

Share on Tumblr

What makes delicious apple pie? of course the apples along with the right mix of spices added to apple mixture.

I have tasted countless apple pie slices from here to Tim Buck Too, and let me tell you all truthfully they are dry and flavorless. Then that thing with adding a slice of cheddar to it?! What the Heck is that all about? it's not a Hamburger! The apple pie slice should be a combination of tart and sweet with the just the right amount of each. Adding the right spices to it is how it does this and you can't fake that no matter how much cheddar you put on it. So Buck up people and wake up your inner senses for a Piece Of Pie.... and maybe you all will get lucky.... Hmmmmm?
