~The Way to a Man's Heart~

 Have you heard the saying~the way to a man's heart is through is stomach~ Please meet our daughter Bernadette Marie she is our second daughter and she loves to cook, Bernadette thoroughly enjoys cooking a meal for her boyfriend all her friends and family. A few weeks ago Bernadette and her boyfriend Seth came over to visit and Bernadette brought all the fixen's to whip out her "famous homemade lasagna". Her sister Desire' Danielle and a few friends joined us for dinner and we all shared this delicious meal around the dinner table. .
 Its all about the smell and taste...Yumm the smell was wonderful and filled the house with deliciousness!

 I spoon full of meat sause, how I wish you could smell the sauce.

 Oh and yes a good cold glass of wine always makes the cook happy!

 Every Italian girl learns how to make the (zugu) that's what Gary's Grandma used to call her sauce (zugu)..Grandma was 100% Italian who waived her arms and shook her fingers at you.(We miss her)

 Here's Seth checking out whats on the stove..Do you think this is one happy boyfriend---We do.
So Bernadette says to me~Mom you just have to try my brussel sprouts, well I never cooked bussle sprouts when the kids were growing up..(because I don't like brussel sprouts) So it really surprised me that she liked them. While she was washing the brusslel sprouts Seth snuck up behind   her and gave her a little kiss, look at her face expression its so cute!  
 Ah, young love isn't it grand. I love it..

 After washing and slicing the brussel sprouts, Bernadette tosses them with olive oil

 Laid them out onto the stone baking pan

 The green color is so pretty with the yellow inside, who knew a veggie could look so pretty, especially one I don't like.

 Then she added her special spices...and baked them.

 The very yummy lasagna all prepared and ready to bake, this pan full of lasagna was very heavy

 Ummm so cheesy and full of meat sauce.

 Can't have lasagna without garlic bread. I must confess I now like bussle sprouts LOL

 I knew the kids were coming so before they arrived I bake  a bundt cake. It was a recipe that Anita had posted on her blog Aunt Nubby's Kitchen. The bunt cake is called Hummingbird Bundt Cake, you can find the recipe here  at Anita's blog
 The smell of the pecans roasting in the oven was so good, when they were done roasting I just had to eat a few warm ones..so so yummy!

 Baking for one hour in a 375 degree oven

 All done and cooling

 All frosted with a scumsous cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with more roasted pecans.

This bunt cake received a thumb up....everyone enjoyed a slice along with a glass of milk for dessert. Having the family together enjoying dinner and sharing stories around the table is just the best thing in the world to me. Food just goes along with family they both are um um good!
