Please forgive me for being absent lately.  We’ve had oodles of fun family stuff to celebrate in the last couple weeks and I haven’t had much time for anything but my birds.

Will chocolate make it up to you?

I hope so.  I’m going to try to be back more often now and I can’t wait to show you pictures of our baby bird’s first birthday party.  I’ve got two recipes from it that The Phoenix thinks you’ll all love too.  So stay tuned.  I didn’t forget about sharing good food with you.

I’ve just been too busy cooking for 50 when I only had 20 people to feed.  Anyone else ever done that before?  Yeah, we’ll be eating leftovers for months.  Months.

Oops.

Anyways, here’s an easy, very chocolaty recipe that will please a crowd.  Who doesn’t love gooey chocolate cake with melting vanilla ice cream on top?  Yum.

    Hi
    When you say 1/3 cup melted butter, is it the same as using 1/3 cup softened butter and then melting that??

    Yes, it’s the same thing, Mary.
