The Christmas Season is Here!

To kick off the fun I have two special treats for you today.

First up, I have a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook to give away!!

As many of you know Gooseberry Patch books are my VERY favorite.  I'm giving away a copy of  Hometown Christmas to one of my readers.

Friday, December 6th.  Winner will be announced December 7th.

For another special treat I have a recipe for you straight from the pages of Hometown Christmas.  Enjoy!

Snowball Cake

18-1/4 oz. devil's food cake mix
8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
1 egg
2 T. sugar
3.4 oz. pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1 c. milk
2 c. frozen whipped topping, thawed
7 oz. pkg flaked coconut

Lightly spray an oven-proof 2-1/2 quart round bowl with non-stick vegetable spray.  Prepare cake mix as directed on package; pour batter into prepared bowl.  In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, egg and sugar until well blended; spoon into center of batter.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center tests clean.  Cool in bowl 10 minutes.  Loosen cake from bowl with a knife; turn out onto a wire rack.  Cool cake completely; place on a serving plate.  In another bowl, whisk together dry pudding mix, powdered sugar and milk for 2 minutes.  Stir in whipped topping.  Frost cake with pudding mixture; sprinkle with coconut.  Keep refrigerated until serving time.  Serves 16.

    We miss Ethan so much. He is texting us a few times a day and we love to hear from him. He is due to come home Saturday night. I will certainly let you know when he is back home with us.
