Strawberry Upside Down Cake, A Yum Dessert

This is a recipe I found on Pinterest months ago and I am just now getting around to making it.  It is one of those EASY and Very Good recipes that I will use many times.  

Strawberry Upside Down Cake

1 cake mix 
(I used white cake, but you can use yellow or even chocolate!)
2 cups crushed strawberries
(I used fresh strawberries and added a little sugar, put them in a sealed bowl and shook them to juice them a little.)
1 box strawberry jello
3 cups miniature marshmallow.

In a 9 X 13 pan, put crush strawberries on bottom.  Sprinkle with jello powder.  Put marshmallows on top.

Then mix cake according to directions on box.  Pour on top of marshmallows.

Bake 350 for 40-50 minutes.  Do the toothpick test.  Let cool for 15 minutes.  Run a knife around the edge to loosen.  Flip cake out on serving platter.  I put a dollop of whipped topping on each piece I served.



Let me know if you decide to bake this and if your family enjoys it.  I am thinking this will be a good Easter Sunday dessert!!!

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday.  I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect.  So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown.  The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown.   As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller.  It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color.  Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes.  Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true.  I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
