Salads
A fellow Florida food blogger is looking for Salad Recipes. She is having a month long link party, go on over and post your favorite salad recipe.
Seaside Simplicity, Wanted Salads
I personally can't wait to see what everyone else posts. It is getting very warm here in SW Florida and having a salad for dinner sounds perfect.

One of my favorite blogs...
One of my favorite blogs, Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms, is having a giveaway by George Duran, I loved him on Ham On The Street.
I love mexican food and Cinco de Mayo, but sadly won't be having a fiesta this year since it is the middle of the week and my husband has to pick up our son at college.
I wonder if it would be ok to have a fiesta for Mother's day instead? That sounds pretty good to me...

Key Lime Pound Cake
I really enjoy reading other foodie blogs. One of my favorites is called Taking on Magazines. On March 26 Mom Chef made a Key Lime Pound Cake from Southern Living magazine. My mouth watered when I read it. I bookmarked it and knew that I had to try it.
I know the three of us couldn't eat a whole pound cake so I thought I would wait for our next party or mom's night to make it. Well the opportunity came today. I am bringing dinner to a friend/neighbor and figured I could add a few slices (like half the cake) to their dinner.
Cake ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 cup fresh Key lime juice (I subbed Nellie and Joe's)
Preheat oven to 325°. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch (12-cup) tube pan. (I only have a bundt pan)
Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean (I think I had to bake mine about an hour and a half). Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack.
Prepare Key Lime Glaze, and immediately brush over top and sides of cake. Cool completely (about 1 hour).
Key Lime Glaze ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh Key lime juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk together powdered sugar, fresh Key lime juice, and vanilla until smooth. Use immediately.
Miss V and I just tried a slice. It is really good, but the cake part didn't have enough lime flavor for me. I think if I was to make this again, I would use more lime zest. The glaze is perfect though.

2011 Ultimate Blog Party!
Wow, check out all these Mom Bloggers!!
A little about me. I am a SAHM who loves to bake and cook. I have one son in college and a daughter in elementary. My daughter is also achieved her Master Chef Phase one at Young Chefs Academy. I think it is very important for kids to learn to cook and be in the kitchen.
I started my Foodie blog, way back in July of 2008. I love blog hopping and finding new and fun recipes.
Bikini Beach Bear Cupcakes
While looking for ideas for Miss V's Build A Bear birthday party I found a cute idea on how to make Bikini Beach Bear Cupcakes from Bakerella.
What you will need:
Blue cupcake liners (I purchased them at BakersNook)
Teddy Grahams
Candy Writers (I purchased them at Bakers Nook also)
Black Edible Marker (I have a couple sets from Wilton)
Floaties, I used some candy from Walmart. The orange was peach flavored and the green was apple
24 cupcakes baked and cooled
1 can of white frosting
Blue gel food dye (used americolor purchased them at Baker's Nook)
First thing is to decorate the bears.
Next tint and frost the cupcakes. Then put the cute little bears in their floaties and enjoy!
