Tuesdays at the Table

Hello ladies! Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes last week. Yep, I’m pregnant, and I’m dying to share all the little details with my bloggy friends. Small problem, though: I am EXHAUSTED. And nauseous. And very, very hungry. But mostly I’m just tired and pukey.

Suggestions on how to deal with this? Hit me up. I’ll try anything.

So needless to say, by the time I drag myself home from 10 hours of work, I don’t really feel like blogging. I want to blog, and I want to catch up on your blogs, but seriously – I had no idea I would feel like this. Please cut me some slack and bare with me as I get myself together. I promise I’ll be back to posting daily as soon as I’m feeling better.

I wanted to jump on quickly and post this week’s Tuesday at the Table, but before we get started I need a favor! I’d love to find a couple of bloggers who would be willing to host TATT for the new few weeks. Interested? Email me or leave a comment in this post.

Welcome to Tuesdays at the Table! Most of you know the drill. If you have a recipe, link up. If you don’t, click on the link to get some great recipe ideas. If you are new here, read on for more information on how to participate in Tuesdays at the Table.

To participate, simply create a food-related post: a recipe, a food tip, a tutorial, a product review - anything food related! Be sure to link back to My Chihuahua Bites! in your post so that your readers know where they can come to join the party.

Once your blog is posted, come back to this post and sign in with Mr. Linky. Please make sure that you are linking to your TATT post and NOT to your blog. I have had people complain that they can’t find your posts when they click on your link, and this is because you link to your blog and not to your post. If someone comes by later in the week and wants to visit you, they have a harder time finding your featured recipe.

Mr. Linky has been a little cranky lately – he works sometimes and sometimes he does not. If you don’t see him, please link up in the comments.

 Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake

I found this recipe at Kelly’s Korner – she has great stuff! I made it for my co-worker’s baby shower a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit.

Ingredients:

• I cup of butter, melted
• I package of chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1 package of cream cheese, softened
• 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 box (1 pound) of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts

Heat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of melted butter until well combined. Pat into a 13X9 pan and set aside.

Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add the 2 remaining eggs and the cocoa powder and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low and add sugar; beat until well combined. Beat in 1/2 cup melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Fold in nuts. Spread over cake mixture in the pan.

Bake 40-50 minutes. The center should remain a little gooey.

What’s cooking, ladies?
