New Meal # 12 Red Velvet Lava Cake

No cooking challenge/adventure would be complete without a dessert. Therefore, the wife decided to end this year of new dishes on a sweet note. Thanks Cooked by Julie (you tube)for the recipe.  And a special thanks to my mother-n-law for the Christmas gift of baking dishes which included two ramekins. And the husband said.

Husband: Can I have another one?
Wife: YES, YES, you can!! This time I'll add pecans.
Husband: You know what, just bake all of it.
Wife: Okay.  I CAN COOK!!

Yes, I did receive the CLEAN PLATE AWARD!!





Happy New  Year!!!

Taking a bow!
