"There are a few molten lava cake recipes out there, but in my (and my husband's) opinion, this one is the best. It is terribly easy and I often make these on a weeknight as a special treat for my family. I originally got the recipe from watching Paula Deen but made a bit of a change to suit our family's tastebuds."

I am a stay at home mom of two wonderful little boys, Alex and Andrew. Cooking and Baking are my two favorite hobbies, and it's a good thing because I do it a lot!! My husband can be somewhat picky so when I find a recipe that he likes, it immediately goes into my "keeper" file. I'm a big believer in cooking healthy meals that are both good for you AND delicious. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good dessert, as you can see by my chocolate marshmallow brownie recipe!!! But everyone deserves to splurge every now and then. It's just all about moderation. I also enjoy staying fit by doing aerobics and yoga. I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, boating and riding my bicycle. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
