Recipe Week Day 2: Tracy and her Kick A$$ Chocolate Cake

My Blog-Sitter today is Tracy from My Life With the Superhero and The Princess!  

Tracy is an awesome person who I had the pleasure of meeting in person a little while back!  Tracy and I share a love for all things Gymboree, big hair bows to match every outfit, and a fierce love and loyalty to our little ones (to name a few)!  

Fun Tracy Fact:  I found Tracy not long after Sweets was diagnosed.  Waaaayyy before I started blogging!  I was searching for information about insulin pumps and found a video of her doing a site change on the Superhero.  I bookmarked and watched it over and over.  I showed it Sweets, my parents, friends....  It made me feel so good to see someone else doing these things.  Someone else living my life.  I thought she and the Superhero were incredible!  It finally hit me a while after I started blogging and we became friends that she was the same person in the video!  Small world!

A BIG THANK YOU  to Tracy for sharing with us today!  Go stop by her blog and see just how incredible she is for yourself!

Tracy is sharing a DELICIOUS recipe today that I know you are going to love!  I mean really... how can anything called "Tracy's Kick A$$ Chocolate Cake" be bad?!?  Enjoy!

This is a recipe for a cake my mom likes to refer to as “Tracy’s Kick A$$ Chocolate Cake.” And I will admit, it is pretty darn good! I have never really sat and figured out the carbs on this one and it depends on the size of the slice. We usually just give it our best SWAG and go with the flow. Enjoy!
