This microwave chocolate cake is quick and easy to make and cooks in the microwave in 2 minutes. And it tastes great, really! The consistency is dense and cakey. It would go well with chocolate (or your favorite) chips or nuts or served warm with hot fudge. This cake, "born" out of a pregnancy craving, worked out amazingly.

Rose Petal Pound Cake
This cake is very different to the usual recipes and calls for rosewater which you can obtain in Middle Eastern grocery stores. You could also substitute orange water for the rosewater. Rosewater and orange water are used in Middle Eastern pastries. Both are very sweet and they are clear liquids found in bottles.
Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
I like to serve this chocolate strawberry shortcake on Valentine's Day. It's really good and looks nice on the table. I have had this recipe for over 40 years.
Air Fryer Frittata
This air fryer frittata is ready in less than 20 minutes. Take some leftover breakfast sausage, chopped veggies, shredded cheese, and eggs, and create a hot breakfast! Make it a meal with whole wheat toast and juice, or wrap it in a napkin and eat as you run. If there is any left, it reheats well.
