Me and my husband were invited to a barbecue by some friends, they called us up and told us it was a food network party! So, were assigned a chef and we had make one of their recipes. At first I was a little nervous, I never do this and I thought what if it doesn't turn out? Then my cute friend said "Well, everyone is doing it. So they will understand if it doesn't work out"I was excited when I was assigned Paula Deen, She is actually the only chef I know. Just because I recently watched her on Oprah and loved her. I chose to make her Red Velvet Cake. I couldn't be happier with the way it looked...I haven't tasted it yet, so I will let you know! I am off to the barbecue. She has this website http://www.pauladeen.com/ with a lot of other fun recipes.

Karen,
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to see the picture of your boys. Your mom was so excited about the vacation and I can't wait for her to tell me all about it. You all have so much fun together. All of you are a perfect example of what a family should be.
Hey, that cake is beautiful! I hope your barbeque was fun. Thanks for the website. I'm going to try some of those recipes. Hope to see more of your vacation pictures soon. Susan
Ooh, that cake is so pretty, I don't think I would even want to cut into it!
ReplyDeleteI love the this cake, and you really made it? You didn't just photo shop yourself in the picture did you? I know you are getting pretty good with editing pictures!
