do you ever read something and think about it for years afterwards? almost four years ago, smitten kitchen wrote about her relationship with leafy greens. she talked about how she always thought she’d grow up to be the kind of person who loved them. but she isn’t. and that blog post stuck with me. because i’m a healthy cook and eater (despite my love for baked goods). and i always want to like leafy greens.
whew, i made it through fall quarter! after writing and writing and writing some more, i’ve finally turned in all of my papers. yay!
happy halloween, everyone! i hope you’re all enjoying the holiday with fun costumes and treats.
this is a far departure from the yummy egg- and butter-laden chocolate cake my mom posted for y’all last week.
eclaire note: this recipe is very dear to my heart – it’s THE birthday cake for me, the one i requested year after year for as long as i can remember and the chocolate cake to which i compare all other chocolate cakes. my lovely mother – the one who shared her olallieberry cobbler with you a few months ago – guest blogs this special family recipe below. enjoy!
