Happy Birthday, America!

Happy 4th of July!

Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite

things that represent the good ol' USA...

Baseball hs been called America's favorite pasttime.

These photos are from last year,

but I really love them.

I'm going to miss baseball, now that the local league's season has ended!

{Good thing the Pirates play all season.}

Another thing Americans love is cooking out in the summertime.

I found some cute little bowls at Target,

just right for serving hot dog and hamburger condiments.

{My sister Susie hand-painted the details on the tray!}

We're going to a picnic,

and I'm bringing a Chocolate Bundt Cake.

I got the recipe from Cooks.com

and I'll share it with you!

{It's sooooo easy!}

CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

Chocolate cake mix - 2-layer size

3-oz. package instant chocolate pudding mix

1 3/4 cup milk

2 eggs

12-oz. package chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients by hand, just to blend, in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan.

Bake 50 minutes at 350 degrees.

When the cake has cooled, invert it onto the serving plate.

I put together a glaze, made with 1 cup of powdered sugar,

3 Tbsp. of cocoa powder, and about 2 -3 Tbsp. milk.

I drizzled the top of the cake with the glaze.

{Mmmmmm...}

Happy Birthday, America...

God Bless the USA!
