I’m in the mood to Bake!

Oh how I love the smell of cake baking in the oven! Although, I have a secret… I prefer to bake by using box cake mix! Sometimes, I’ll use Pillsbury’s Butter Recipe and add cinnamon – or nuts - maybe apples – or pineapple slices - throw in some raisons or mix a bunch of these - anything, just to kick it up a notch! Also, by adding 2 tablespoons of flour, it helps take away some of the “box” taste – that’s my mom’s secret!

And if someone prefers blueberries, another chocolate chips and someone else wants it plain – make individual cupcakes – or divide the batter in half and make 2 loaves. Voila! Everyone is happy!

Here are some great recipes from where else, but my FAVORITE sites -

Food Network <CLICK> has 2,788 recipes that came up when I search “Cake” – Wow! Too bad I couldn’t just back a cake for dinner for the next few months!
Pillsbury <CLICK> – another one of my favorite sites – has a Banana-Chocolate-Caramel Cake recipe – Mmmm!
Rachael Ray <CLICK> Even though Rachael is always saying she can’t bake much, she does have some ”Yumo” recipes! One is for Cake Mix Cookies
For some inspirations, watch Ace of Cakes <CLICK> Now those are some awesome cake bakers!!

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
