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!
