Try It Tuesday #7

I love everything LEMON!! 

This Try it Tuesday was taken from a cookbook my mom gave me a few years ago.  This is why I dreamed up Try it Tuesday.....to make things like this cake.  You know you thumb through recipes and cookbooks and think, "I will make that someday."  This is true with this cookbook, every recipe looks good.  

Triple Lemon Cake
Cake:
1 lemon cake mix
1 3 oz pkg lemon jello
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup water

In a large mixer bowl, combine cake mix, jello, eggs, oil and water.  
Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes.
Spread batter in greased 9 x 13 pan.
Bake 35 minutes or until pick inserted into cake comes out clean.
Cool for about 20 minutes.

Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice

Poke holes in cake with fork.
Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice together until sugar dissolves.
Pour evenly over top of the cake.
Cool completely before cutting.







This cake was so good.  I hate lemon stuff that tastes like eggs.
  I  was worried when I saw 4 eggs going into this recipe.  No worries!!! Not an eggy tasting cake.

A Summer Celebration of Song


I was watching the noon news in June, the early part of the month.  I saw that you could email and ask for ticket for this concert.  As the time drew near, I was glad I had requested tickets early.  They sold out.  I had expected Kelsi and Logan to go but they changed their mind. 

The concert was amazing.  A man came from Broadway and him with the choir and orchestra sang and played Disney songs.  He gave monologue between the songs and he was so fun to listen to.
