Birthday Quilt

My Birthday was on Nov 17th. This is a quilt top I made on that day in 2 hours. Today I purchased the batting for it. Fusible batting for a Queen size quilt and at only $7.99. Now I need to purchase the backing. I cannot wait to quilt it!!! I have been crocheting too but lately all I want to do is sew/quilt.

Romantical Weekend

Just got home from a very romantical weekend with my hunnie Ed. It was the most beautiful place ever. A great cabin at Elliott Lake. I am tired from all of the relaxation...LOL This picture is the view from our porch. The lake was extremely low but we didn't go to swim or fish or boating. This was a just a couple of days of rest, relaxation and romance. I am happy to be home but miss the peace and quiet of east Texas.

Sugar free Margarita Cake

Ok I was asked to try to make this as sugar free as possible. I think I am an over-achiever but I did it!!!! First let me say Thank You to "Just a Pinch Recipe Club" and Nancy Thomas for sharing the original recipe. It sounds awesome, but I needed an alternative!!!

Here goes:

For Cake:

1 stk "best life" buttery baking sticks" softened

4 eggs (I used an Omega 3 rich egg) you could use a substitute here I suppose

1 box Pillsbury Sugar Free Yellow cake mix

1 box sugar free instant pudding (I used a large box)

10 oz or 1 1/4 cup No sugar added margarita mix (Master of Mixes) found at Wal Mart for me.

2 tsp lime juice

1 Tbsp lime zest

For Glaze:

1 container of Pillsbury Sugar free white icing/frosting Softened in the microwave

1 Tbsp of Margarita mix

1 Tbsp lime zest

(This made WAY more than I needed so I put the rest back in the container for a later use.

Preheat oven to 350ᵒ and prepare a Bundt style pan with a non-stick spray.

Mix butter, eggs, margarita mix, lime juice and zest together.

Add cake mix and pudding then mix til well blended.

Pour batter in pan and bake for 45-55 mins Let cool 10- 15 minutes & remove from pan. ( I just turned mine over and it popped out and was fine.)

Combine the remaining ingredients for glaze until it is smooth. Pour/drizzle over slightly cooled but still warm cake. I used about 1/3 of the glaze on my cake. I squeezed some fresh lime juice over the cake and added a few pieces of lime to decorate.

Enjoy!!!!! Hope you like it!!!
