Tasty Tuesday + Art Journaling + Liebster Award

Okay so here's the first installment of Tasty Tuesday! Today's recipe is a dessert, one that I haven't had in a while - due to laziness mostly. I actually found this recipe a couple years ago because I had been craving (due to pregnancy) the Chocolate Souffle from California Pizza Kitchen. It's a light chocolate cake that has a melted center that just oozes out. I didn't want to get in the car and drive my pregnant ass all the way over to CPK just to order a dessert (again - laziness) so I found this recipe and it was amazing! A lot richer than the one at CPK, but still delicious! Plus the ingredients were already in our pantry and it only took like 20 minutes to make.

Frikken Chocolate Heaven

So here's your shopping/ingredient list:

4 Ramekins (makes 4 servings)
Baking sheet
4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
6 Tbsp. flour

Now that you've got everything together, here are the instructions:

1. Heat your oven to 425°F.

2. Butter up those ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.

3. Microwave the chocolate and butter in large bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until butter is melted. Mix until chocolate is completely melted then stir in the powdered sugar.

4. Add whole eggs and egg yolks; mix well then stir in flour. Spoon into the ramekins.

5. Pop it in the oven and bake for 13 to 14 min. or until sides of desserts are firm but centers are still soft. Let stand 1 min. then use a butter knife to gently loosen the sides of the cake and flip it upside down onto a dessert plate.

6. Top with powdered sugar or (my personal preference) a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

See, doesn't it look soooooo good? Well, it tastes even better! Just don't eat it every night (though you may be tempted to after your first try) or you'll be regretting it 10lbs. later...

And here's my art journal page for today:

The prompt was "Haiku" and my wonderful lover brought me a delicious Red Velvet Frappe this morning and it was sooooooooooo good. Btw, we were totally decked out in spring colors today and we looked awesome. He wore: a long-sleeved lavender button-up with black slacks and I wore: a mint green deep v-neck sweater over a white button halter and a black pencil skirt. I'll probably wear this outfit again for next Wednesday's outfit post because this is just my favorite sweater ever (I've had it since 2006).

And lastly, but definitely not leastly (yes, I just made up a word), I have been given the Liebster Award from a super awesome blogging friend of mine, Ronida of Portable Sunshine! She's pretty amazing (she speaks 3 languages) and you should definitely check out her blog!

1. Give to 5 bloggers with less than 200 followers.
2. That blogger will pass it on to 5 followers.
3. According to Babelfish, Liebster means Dearest.

So congratulations to me! And also to the following bloggers, who I've decided to pass this on to:
