Chocolate cure

Yesterday we said goodbye to my Mom and thus ended two weeks of enjoying out of town family guests. It always takes some getting used to after being spoiled with the help and adult conversation all day! To help ease some of the post-visit-blues I made this....














Yep, a Chocolate Espresso Cake. Need I say more? Believe me, I'm no Betty Crocker and rarely bake desserts but it's amazing how chocolate or just baking in general can lift the spirits! :) So, I have quite a sugar high as I write this but it's so worth it and I'm nursing so I can get away with splurging like this, right!?!? (That's what I keep on telling myself anyway! :)
