What She Wore Wednesday #Marshalls

IMG_2158 (1)

I realized, a long time ago, that sometimes what we have in the back of the closet should be brought to the front of the closet, and this polka dot dress is a move to the front for me.  I bought this dress at Marshalls around 5 years ago. It still works for me.  If your wondering why I have no shoes on, well,  that because I always put my shoes on right before I go out the door.

Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator #BringTheStink

IMG_2108

I love the freshness of Febreze.

Spritzing Febreze  around my home is a must, I spritz my carpets, couch, drapes and bathroom rugs.

Febreze does the odor eliminating, I just do the spraying.

Now Febreze can eliminate odors in my wash.

 I now add Febreze laundry odor eliminator to my  wash, along with detergent.

And now my wash is odor free.

 Odorless towels, odorless socks just by adding Febreze Odor Eliminator to  my wash.

recipe

Carabott Cake

Carabott Cake, not to be confused with the Carrot Cake, is a cake that I think everyone needs to make, or just taste.   The Carabott Cake, the name I baptized it, was made for us by  Mrs. Jane Carabott.  Jane Carabott, is a long time family friend.

When I asked her for the recipe I thought for sure it would be one of those complicated recipes that I would never, ever make.  But to my surprise Jane rattled off the recipe, and in less than a minute the recipe was blurted out…EASY!  I knew that this was the cake I would attempt to make and bring with me to one of my dearest friends for dessert.  First time dessert making you have to bring to one of your long time dear friends, so if it goes horribly gross we can all laugh it off.

Now more about the making of Carabott Cake:

IMG_2086

One package of Pillsbury or Duncan Hines yellow cake mix.  Prepare as directed.  Once this is completed go to next step

IMG_2087 In another bowl mix 16 oz ricotta, 3 eggs, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  Whip ingredients together until smooth.  IMG_2088

Prepare baking dish as directed on box of yellow cake, pour cake mix into the baking dish, then top with  ricotta mixture  and bake for 45 minutes @ 350 degrees.  IMG_2089

IMG_0844That’s it!  Carabott Cake is done.  You can sprinkle cake with powdered sugar right before serving…
