Network for Wives

A Community Where Wives Connect

Dear all, As wives, we are all very good at learning new things, multi-tasking, doing things efficiently, while making sure that our family stays healthy and eats well:) I can tell you how clueless I was (may still be) when I first have to figure out how / what to cook for my husband! To start, with a growing group of cooking gurus, I think that we can compile a great list of recipes!

 

To start, we are going to have a cooking widget where we list out your favourite recipes (with name and link)!.  I found that this provides a central place to easily find all recipes, increase visibility for our websites, and spread the word about how good you are! 

Please simply reply with the following:

-Recipe Name

-Direct link to the recipe

 

For those of your who have already replied, please pick your favourite recipe and reply with the info!

Thank you,

Looks like we have a growing group of women who are interested to contributing recipes! I would like to propose starting the online cookbook as a "Cooking Recipe widget" where we list our favorite recipes (with name of the dish & links back to your site)! Just like our successful blogging widget, we can provide a central place to list out our cool recipes, increase visibility about our sites and also spread the words about how good you girls are! Let me know if you are interested! If so, please pick a favorite recipe and reply with the link and name of the dish!
Thanks!

Oooh, I love crock pot recipes...thanks, Peg!

And thanks, Joanna, for this great idea to share tried and true recipes! I'm lucky that dh is the chef of the family, but I do love to bake. I'd just finished typing out a recipe for a friend for this birthday cake that I made for ds#1 today. The kids almost always ask for this cake...it is pretty easy and tastes incredible:

Walnut Mocha Torte

2 C walnuts or pecans, toasted
2 T AP flour
2.5 t baking powder
4 eggs
3/4 C sugar
1 recipe Mocha Frosting (see below)

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease the bottoms of 2 8x1.5" round cake pans. Line pans with waxed paper; grease and lightly flour pans. Set pans aside. In a medium bowl, combine nuts, flour, and baking powder; set aside.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine eggs and sugar. Cover and blend or process until smooth, stopping and scraping sides as necessary. Add nut mixture. Cover and blend/process until smooth. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pans.

3. Bake for 20 to 25 mins or until cakes spring back when lightly touched (centers may dip slightly). Cool cake layers on wire racks for 10 mins. Remove cake layers from pans. Cool thoroughly on wire racks. Spread Mocha Frosting on each layer; stack layers. Loosely cover and chill cake for 2 to 24 hours. If desired, top with chocolate curls.

Mocha Frosting:
In a chilled mixing bowl, dissolve 1 t instant coffee crystals in 1 C whipping cream. Add 1/3 C sugar, 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 t vanilla to cream mixture. Beat with electric mixture on medium speed just until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).

Enjoy!!
