I haven't been able to cook or bake much to try new recipes but I thought I would share one my sister baked and raved over! She said it is amazing. And a light dessert with a lemon touch is perfect for spring entertaining. :)
7-Up Lemon Bundt Cake
Ingredients
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 (4 oz.) Box Instant Lemon Pudding (My sister did vanilla)
1 1/2 Cups 7 Up
4 Eggs
3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
Icing:
2 Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1-2 Tbsp. Milk
Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
Spray your 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine all the cake ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into bundt pan.
Bake for about 45-55 minutes (until inserted toothpick or fork comes out clean). Allow to cool completely, then remove from bundt pan.
Start preparing icing. If you’re using a fresh lemon, you might like to zest a bit of the lemon for more flavor. That step is totally optional. In a small bowl, combine sugar and lemon juice. Add milk in slowly until you’ve reached desired consistency. You may want your icing a bit thicker or more like a glaze. That part is completely up to you. This icing is nice and tangy and brings a nice balance of flavor alongside the sweet cake.
Pour icing over cake. And serve!

On a side note...
This week, I am trying to "cook" some healthier meals. I am trying some convenience food that I normally don't use but is easier in the kitchen in the hotel. I only have a small two burner stove top and a sink to wash pots and pans about the size of a bathroom sink. So the less pans I have to dirty and wash...the better! I have drenched myself a few times already. LOL!
Our family enjoys fish which is quick and easy to cook. I usually buy tilapia but found cod and flounder which will be a nice change. Just add rice and veggies for a delicious meal.
One of the easiest ways to get in veggies in your meal is the steamable bags! So easy! We haven't tried the sweet potatoes but I am excited to!
Fully cooked chicken breasts strips are so wonderful! I used them in our fettucine alfredo tonight and have another bag to use for other meals - in pitas, on salads.
Pre made bags of greens are handy for a quick salad. Add some red onion, boiled eggs, tomatoes and some crunchy toppings. :)
I actually have never used these until we moved in the hotel and someone gave us some groceries. I tried it and loved it! So handy and tasty!
