Where Does the Time Go??

Time has slipped through my hands like the elusive sand we use to represent it in hour glasses. I was last working on a New Year's message and since it's already January 31st, it would be pointless to post it. So belatedly, A Happy New Year to one and all.

Off course the usual New Year's Resolutions were made; Lose weight, Make time to write more, Enjoy family and friends more, Join Romance Writer's Association of America, Travel, Learn More Recipes and Get Out of Debt.

Let's see, weight thing hasn't been approached. My inlaws have been coming over and I'm planning a scrapbooking session for some friends at my house. I've been experimenting with new recipes when my Inlaws came over, so far all of them keepers. Still working, so that's helping on the getting out of debt. Basically your very typical humdrum.

So, just to get back in the swing of writing something on here I'm posting a really good cake recipe and it's very simple too. If anyone tries it, please let me know what you think.

Creamsickle Cake
Cake
1 box of cake mix (yellow, white or orange)
1 box of orange jello
1/2 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup of cold water
Icing
1 box of vanilla pudding
1 small container of cool whip
orange flavoring
Cake;
Make the cake per instructions on the box for a 9x12 pan. Once it's done let it cool.
Get the jello and add the 1/2 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water. Pour this over the cooling cake. Refrigerate for an hour.
Icing;
Mix the vanilla pudding per instructions on the box. Add a few drops of orange flavoring until it tastes like a dreamsickle. Fold the pudding in with the cool whip; frost as thick as you like.
I made this on Saturday.. I didn't have any left by Sunday evening. It's quite refreshing and very easy to make.
ENJOY!
