I'm a wife, mom of three boys. We are busy! My husband started his own IT company, we are home schooling and involved in our church. There is never a dull moment with three boys. One boy already eats like a teenager. I love to cook, sometimes simple and quick meals sometimes long fancy meals.

Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
Martha Stewart
Prep: 25 minutes Total: 2 hours 15 minutes
This cake has a crumb "topping" that actually ends up on the bottom. Each bite has a surprisingly crunchy texture.
Ingredients
Makes one 9-inch cake; Serves 10.
* FOR THE TOPPING
* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* Coarse salt
* FOR THE CAKE
* 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for buttering pan
* 1 pound rhubarb, trimmed and cut on a very sharp diagonal about 1/2 inch thick
* 1 3/4 cups sugar
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* Coarse salt
* 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
* 2 large eggs
* 1 cup sour cream
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the topping: Stir together butter, flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until moist and crumbly.
2. Make the cake: Butter a 9-inch round cake pan (2 inches deep). Dot with 4 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces). Toss rhubarb with 3/4 cup sugar; let stand for 2 minutes. Toss again, and spread in pan.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Beat remaining stick butter and cup sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in zest and juice. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream, until smooth. Spread evenly over rhubarb. Crumble topping evenly over batter.
4. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and top springs back when touched, about 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake, and invert onto a wire rack. Let cool completely.

Servings: Serves 6–8
Ingredients:
Paula Deen's Hash Brown Casserole
* 3 Tbsp. butter
* 1 small yellow onion , chopped
* 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
* 1 pound bulk sausage , mild, hot or sage
* 2 1/4 cups whole milk
* 8 large eggs
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. black pepper
* 1/4 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
* 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
* 8 cups cubed French or Italian bread , crusts removed
* 2 cups (1/2 pound) grated cheddar cheese
* 2 cups (1/2 pound) freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Spray a deep 13" x 9" casserole dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the hash browns and break apart. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
In a second frying pan, sauté the sausage, breaking apart large clumps. When the sausage is cooked through, remove it from pan.

To assemble, spread the onions and hash browns evenly at the bottom of the greased dish. Place the bread cubes evenly on top of hash browns. With a slotted spoon, distribute sausage as the third layer. Pour the milk and egg mixture over these layers. Add Parmesan as the next layer, while then adding the cheddar*.
Bake the casserole uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
*Cook's note: Save a few tablespoons of cheddar for the last 10 minutes of baking, when you can add a fresh topping of melted cheddar.
