Bruschetta Pizza
Madonna Alexander of Chicago, Illinois shared this recipe with us. She writes, "If you can, prepare the bruschetta mix early in the day. The longer the flavors blend, the better it tastes. You'll have some left over but that's okay. I made an omelet wtih this mix and it was awesome!"

1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 c. plus 1 T. olive oil, divided

  Here's one of our favorites from Sunday Dinner at Grandma's !

Strawberry Layer Cake
This blue-ribbon cake recipe was shared by Steven Wilson of Chesterfield, Virginia. He writes, "Spring was always a wonderful time of year growing up in North Carolina...it meant strawberry time. I remember going with Grandma to the strawberry farm to pick those huge, luscious red berries, often
eating as many as we put in the basket! She always used some of the fresh berries to make one of her delicious cakes to take to the Sunday night church social."

6-oz. pkg. strawberry gelatin mix
1/2 c. hot water
18-1/2 oz. pkg. white cake mix
2 T. all-purpose flour
1 c. strawberries, hulled and chopped
4 eggs

In a large bowl, dissolve dry gelatin mix in hot water; cool. Add dry cake mix, flour and strawberries; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating slightly after each one. Pour batter into 3 greased 8" round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until cake tests done. Cool; assemble cake layers with Strawberry Frosting. Serves 12.

Strawberry Frosting:

1/4 c. butter, softened
3-3/4 to 5 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. strawberries, hulled and finely chopped

Blend butter and powdered sugar together, adding sugar to desired consistency. Add strawberries; blend thoroughly.

Vickie's in the photo on the right...surrounded by all her baskets!

really special with all my goodies and my
new dress!"
