This year, for the festival of lights, I made a traditional Halwa. Although it is a dessert, and most desserts are served at the end of a meal, Halwa can be served with the meal. This recipe was given to me by my mom. I had written it down, along with other family recipes, before I moved to California. I must admit, making Halwa takes diligence. The first time I made it (last year), it got burnt. I was so discouraged at that time but I attempted to make it again this year. It tasted great this year but it still didn't taste like my mom's.

This is probably my favorite chocolate cake recipe so far. I love chocolate but I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, it is never chocolaty enough or moist enough. If the chocolate cake has an out-of-the-world icing, then I would not complain about the cake.

Hello The Mess I Make followers,
I want to introduce my first guest blogger, Laura. I am so happy to have neighbors like Laura and her husband, Matt. We have so much in common and one of them being our love for cheese. Laura made this cheese dip for a game night we hosted at our apartment. Everyone fell in love with this dip! I got the recipe from her and made it for my co-workers for Halloween. I wasn't surprised that they wanted the recipe as well! I asked Laura to write this post and share her story. Hope to have her write more posts in the future.
