PTO Today

Okay ladies, here's the recipe:
TORTE DI RICOTTA
Ingredients:
Cake Batter--yellow cake mix (preferably Duncan Hines ALL BUTTER)
Ricotta cheese mixture--15 oz.ricotta; 3 eggs; 1 cup sugar; 2 tsp vanilla

Prepare cake batter as directed on box and pour into large oblong pan.(I use a glass pan 13x9) DO NOT GREASE PAN. Mix ingredients for ricotta mixture all together, adding one egg at a time and mixing well after each addition. Pour cheese mixture over top of cake batter. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 55 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cake will rise over the cheese mixture and cheese mixture form a custard-like layer at bottom of pan. Cool well and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Mange!

Glad to hear that you're going to try the recipe. It's fabulous! I'm so embarrassed...I meant to write "Mangia" afterwards...that's italian. I've been teaching my children french--and I wrote "Mange" accidentally, oops! I should stick with english. At any rate, enjoy! (Oh yeah, of course it's low fat...hehe!)

My daughter found the "vine" idea in our Family Fun issue on Friday. I made one this morning and it was so easy(cheap too). Love that magazine!

Having a mixed day. Ran a screwdriver into my finger trying to open a watch back. Luckily, the kids weren't around to hear Mommy's expanded vocabulary! Need a $200 car repair. My ride was 15 minutes late. Discovered the easy vine project, then I found out I got another great donation for our spring carnival, so that perked me up.

I need chocolate!!

Did I hear a request for chocolate?
Have some of my homemade deep dish brownies. I brought some milk too! I am in a chocolat emood myself.

Monday is my big cleaning day. Just found a bag of Nestle Crunch Bars. I forget where I hide stuff from the kids--then find it later. So, here, have some chocolate.

Luv comes running in the door..

Just heard there were brownies and milk here!! Keep talking and don't mind me. I'll be in the corner stuffing my face for the next 10 minutes or so!

Tell me about it, when I cleaned my file cabinet last week, I found half a bag of kit kats and some leftover christmas candy. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Ok, TORTE DI RICOTTA
this just got entered into my receipe into my cookbook wizard. Next potluck at that's what I'm taking.

Thanks for sharing.

I smell CHOCOLATE!!! Anyone have some to share? That's a funny one...sharing chocolate, as if there's such a thing. I don't keep it in the house because that's my Achilles Heel, and I know that as soon as I buy it, it's gone. Spend too much time at the gym to blow the calories on a candybar. I need something strong, it's been a heckuva week and it's only Tuesday! I'm adding an extra 30 minutes at the gym in order to blow off steam. Anyone care to join me?

I'd love to but we kicked off the spring fundraiser today and I have a class tonight. When I'm walking at the mall tomorrow, I'll wish I hadn't made all those brownies.
