Here is one of Several of the new Recipes I made for our Fourth of July Celebration ~
IT WAS DELICIOUS ! ! !
I got the Recipe from
"Paula Deen - The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook"
PUNCH BOWL CAKE
One 18 1/4-ounce package yellow cake mix
Two 3 1/2-ounce packages instant vanilla pudding mix (prepared according to instructions on box)
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
6 medium bananas, sliced
2 pints strawberries (crush one pint, slice one pint, and mix both together)
One 24-ounce container Cool Whip (thawed), or fresh whipped cream (1 quart heavy cream whipped with 1 cup sugar till stiff)
Prepare cake in two 9-inch round pans according to directions. Put one layer of cake in the bottom of a punch bowl. Add half of the pudding, half of the pineapple, 3 sliced bananas, half of the strawberries, and half of the Cool Whip. Put another layer of cake in Punch bowl along with remaining pudding, pineapple, bananas, and strawberries. Top off with Cool Whip and Sprinkle Strawberry juice on top.
I thought this would be a COOL Dessert for a HOT Day, and it was!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

HAPPY "PINK" SATURDAY!
I have been working on a Quilt Top this week using Coordinating "PINK" Fabric from a couple of the 3 Sisters Fabric Collections ~

I was so Excited to Receive a New Carrot Cake Recipe from one of my Dear Friends ~ Judy Anderson!
Judy has run her Bed and Breakfast in Albuquerque for many years and is an Excellent Hostess and Cook!
Our daughter, Jana, lives in her Garage Apartment, and Judy has been like a second Mom to Jana for the past 3 years. Garry and I have eaten with Judy many times, and everytime it has been absolutely DELICIOUS!
I will be preparing the Carrot Cake this next Thursday. I will take pictures and share the Recipe with you some time shortly after that.
Thank you, Judy!
HAVE A GREAT DAY ! ! !

WELL, . . . the Fourth of July is right around the corner, . . .
AND, . . . I am so excited ~
I have already started thinking about the Meals I am going to Prepare ~
I am thinking Brisket with all of the trimmings right now, . . . but, . . . I may Change My Mind between now and then ! ? ! ? !
I love Carrot Cake, but I don't have a really DELICIOUS Recipe, so I tried a new one a couple of days ago ~
It looked really good, but I am not satisfied enough with it to make another one by the same Recipe, so, . . . we may be sick of Carrot Cake before I come up with just the right one ! ? !
I am looking for one that is Super Moist and has Pineapple, Coconut, Raisins, and Pecans as part of the ingredients.
If any of you have Just What I Am Looking For, and you don't mind sharing your Recipe, I could sure use your help!
We have a Cafe in Canadian called "Our Fillin Station" and they make the World's Best Carrot Cake, . . . so, . . . I have set my expectations for myself really high! This may be an Impossible Task, BUT, . . . well worth the try!
~ HAVE A BLESSED DAY! ~

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
