The Cake and 63

I made this cake last weekend.
I had seen it on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to try out.
We were supposed to have company last weekend, but plans changed.
I made the cake anyway.
I used a lemon cake mix, lemon filling and white frosting.
It was fun to make.
It's been fun to eat.
We like to call it the "toothache" cake!
 
 
I had planned to take the cake to town on Sunday to share with my parents who were celebrating their 63rd wedding anniversary!
But the cake is not one that will travel well!
So the cake stayed home and I picked up a pie to share with them instead.
We had a wonderful dinner with them on Sunday.
My husband grilled some amazing ribs, which happen to be my dads favorite meal.
The wine flowed freely. Some really good wine too!
I got a bit carried away during a conversation and broke a wine glass. Oops and Ouch!  
 
Dad picked up an orchid and some hand dipped chocolates to give to mom for their anniversary.
 When he went in to pick out the candy, he told the gal that he thought 63 pieces might be a bit much.
She asked why he would need so many pieces as that was a lot of candy.
He said, well it's also a lot of years to be married too!
Too cute!

Weekly Finds

I jumped on the Pinterest band wagon about a month ago!
I'm addicted to it!
Love, love, love Pinterest!

I have found all sorts of fun things to pin to my various boards.
Still learning how to navigate it all, but I think that's what adds to the fun of it!
I'm sharing a few of my finds with you.
I have made all of the recipes in this post!
Yum!


I didn't find the wine on Pinterest!
My sis introduced me to it recently!
Love it!
If you like a smooth, mellow, fruit forward wine, then by all means try this one!
It is moderately priced at around $16-$20 depending on where you buy it.

This frozen yogurt...what can I say!
YUMMMMMM!
It is easy, easy, easy to make and oh so yummy to eat!
Good for you too! That's always a plus!

These cookies...ummm I'm very addicted to them!
I have made them several times and eaten them all...several times!
So easy to whip up!
They are flourless which I like and I use gluten free oats, so they are gf for me!
I added dried cranberries to a batch....OMG YUM!

This soup is easy, filling and very, very good!
It is a new family favorite!
It also happens to be a recipe from my neighbor who just so happens to be an amazing lady and has an awesome blog!

These meatballs with Asian style noodles were a hit with me!
The entire recipe is gf (gluten free).
Not sure how the family liked it cause they didn't really say anything.
The recipe makes enough meatballs for another meal, which I really liked!
I added them to a soup recipe which I will share later!


All of the recipes are located at the links below the photos. You just click on the photo link and it will take you to the pin board where it is located. Then click on it again and it will take you to the blog and the recipe.
Easy Peazy!

Happy Friday!
I'm off to the big city for a work related event this weekend!
