Blueberry Lemon Torte Cake

By -
This year for Easter I was asked to bring a dessert. Naturally, I decided to go with something that was simple, fresh and springy. Enter Blueberry Lemon Torte Cake. I found this recipe in the Pampered Chef recipe book. It basically consists of pound cake, cream cheese, cool whip, lemons\lemon gelatin and blueberries. I even bought the pound cake instead of making one.

My cousin Kelly hosted a perfect Easter meal and it was great to be with my family.
After the festivities K & K and I re-started where we left off on our Godfather marathon. Neither Kelly or I had seen the Godfather... and surprisingly, I liked it.
Happy Monday!

Yours Truly,
The Don.

I have never seen the Godfather, just not interested. But now you've given me hope. :)

I have never seen the Godfather either and I am Italian AND an actress! I'm the worst.

You know what is not the worst? That cake. That cake is the BEST. It looks gorgeous!

This is the perfect Easter dessert! I brought a chocolate amaretto torte (I wonder why?) for Easter, and was wishing that I'd done something more springy. The Godfather is a great movie! And Godfather 2 is almost as good.

That looks so perfect! Blueberries and lemon together - YUM! I've never seen The Godfather either. I don't think I have the attention span to sit through it :)

That looks fabulous. I fell asleep half way through The Godfather; I know it's one of those must-see movies, so I'll have to try again someday.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
