Every summer I get a craving for this cool, refreshing cake. I honestly do not know what it's called. I got it from my mom. I call it Jello Cake. It is seriously the easiest thing you will ever make. AND it is SO good. When temperatures are deathly hot, it gives my mouth a break of cool goodness.
Make cake mix following directions on box
Let cake sit and cool.
Ingredients: Favorite cake mix
favorite jello mix
whipped topping/cool whip

(Let me take a moment to thank my mother for giving me a hand mixer after I burned out two of them. It is so much easier to make with a hand mixer.)
Pour the cake batter into a cake pan size of your choice
Bake following directions on the box.

Let cake sit and cool.
When cake is cool, poke cake all over with holes.
I have this really cool hair pick that I have used (strictly for this cake and not for any other thing like hair) for years because it makes a lot of holes at once.

Pour jello over cake and put in fridge to set.
After jello has set (give it hours), pour cool whip over cake.
Smooth as if cake icing.

I love this cake because I can switch up the flavors as I want -
lemon cake with orange jello
strawberry cake with lemon jello
yellow cake with strawberry jello
You name it. I can mix it.

This post is dedicated to love. That rapturous love that I never thought I'd ever have again. Cool things is, it's way better because I constantly feel my heart bowling over with emotional goodness (which never happened before).
A list of things I NEVER EVER thought I would think were sexy in a man . . . ever but are so frickin' attractive in Saint I can't stand it. I just wanna lick him, they are that sexy.
1. He's responsible. He never calls in to work, in fact, he actually goes above and beyond his job description. He has two jobs and though it doesn't leave as much time for us/me as I would like, it is okay with me.
2. He listens to me. He doesn't say much, unless he gets in that mood, but he lets me talk about whatever. He never tells me I should have done it this way; I did it badly or whatnot. He simply listens and gives validating feedback. (not to say the man doesn't utter the words "you're wrong" on a daily basis)
3. He enjoys hanging out with my family. And my family likes being with him.
4. He not only OFFERS to help with dishes and cooking, but he actually does it.
5. He wants to be with me. He chooses me over most things - work does occasionally come first, oh and sleep, but hey, I'm okay with this.

This week I worked nine days straight. Not a big deal, but tiring nonetheless and not so much energy for creating in my free time. Though I did however gain my first weekend off in quite some time. What normal people do every weekend, I do it seems a couple times a year. Though I tried to be inspired, it wasn't for lack of trying or ideas I was just too busy not doing anything to create.
I did, however, attempt to cultivate.
For dinner one night I made my favorite, Chicken in spaghetti sauce. This time I used the drumsticks that were currently in my freezer, though any cut of meat will do.

6 drumsticks
Can of spaghetti sauce
favorite pasta
vegetables (optional)
bread (optional)
wine (optional)

Put chicken in crock pot, pour sauce over it. Turn on high for one hour, leave on low for the next six hours.
For serving, make pasta according to directions. I usually go for fettuccine as it is my favorite consistency when it comes to pasta. Spoon crock pot mixture over pasta, side of vegetables (i like broccoli) and a side of bread. Of course, a little wine is good too. It is thick and the meat just falls off the bone.
The other thing I did was finally break down and visit Walmart to purchase the canvas baskets I have been craving for months now to organize my craft room.
I bought six of them. I got home and was playing around with organization, when in walked Saint, who immediately started shaking his head.
He has a much better idea to organize the room, so no canvas baskets. Says he will help me plan and fix it. I am very excited to get organized. He has such great ideas and is serious about helping. He is a finisher. Yeah!!
Also acquired at Walmart, a couple of wonderful Tupperware container specifically made for Sugar and Flour. They have these fabulous flip tops or pour spouts for easier cooking. Very excited because for the past three years my sugar and flour have sadly been housed in plastic zip lock baggies that spill constantly.
Here they are drying. I was waiting very impatiently for them to dry because I loathe the paste that is made when it's not fully dry.
How about you? What did you create this week?
