Excellent chocolate cake from scratch with a twist. The coffee adds an extra dimension to the flavor. This has been everyone's favorite for years. A great recipe when paired with a cream cheese frosting. Very moist and enjoyable. You won't go back to a boxed cake again. Also makes great cupcakes.

Marinated Veggies
This marinade for grilled vegetables is a healthy way to flavor veggies. The grilled veggies make a great sandwich, too!
Gluten-Free Bread in a Bread Machine
A gluten-free bread machine recipe that's easy to make. It's not as good as normal bread, but it's pretty good if you must avoid gluten. If the mixture looks more like cake batter than bread dough in your machine, don't worry, it will be okay. The loaf may sink while it's baking, leaving a crusty, crunchy bowl on the exposed end, which you will want to slice off and discard. The finished bread will be quite firm and heavy, I recommend slicing it thinly. It makes good toast, but it toasts slowly. I use my darkest toaster setting and have to run that twice to get golden brown toast.
Mayo Chicken
This mayo chicken is my favorite chicken recipe, which I learned while doing low-carb dieting. I prefer dark meat, so I use 4 legs and thighs. You can make this recipe with pork chops as well.
