Hello to all my foodies friends out there in web land, hope all is well with you and yours this summer. Am busy with getting over a very bad fall when I was running to help my weight and heart. Am a clix my family calls me. At my age they say I don't need to be running well am still healing and am getting better. I guess I will have to stick to walking however my sister- in-law says my shoes were to big. I caught my heal. I was lucky but its been over three weeks and the wound on my hand is finagling getting well. Any who then we went on vacation for about two weeks in Texas, went swimming but no fishing this year. My arm wouldn't have worked anyway. I got back home and I've been working hard on getting product made. I've sold just about all I have bottles for now and that's a good thing. We demoed MadJon's Salsa the first time and sold out. Then they did Me Me's Pasta Gravy and sold out. This Thursday I'll be show casing Me Me's Cake Syrups along with the other products as well, so I'll see how that goes. I sell the products from Washington DC to California and they are loving it they say. I sell it to stores and ordinary Joe's like myself. When I was filming for Cooking With MadJon & Friends I only had time to worry about that. Then I catered a lot. Wrote lots of recipes and I just didn't have time to work on products. Now last year my products just started taking off with sales, phone ringing and I was getting orders. So I now have time to get my ducks in a roll and work on one thing Products. The man at score said I was like five different companies and that I needed to stick with working on just one! Now I know what he meant. Any who wish me luck will yea. Well let's talk about Strawberry's. Did you know that its the only fruit that carries its seeds on the outside and that it has over 200 seeds on the berry. Go ahead and count it. Ok, that's done. Its been around for centuries and they think it got its name from putting the straw under the berries as it runs with arms like berries do. Any who now is the time to enjoy them. You can use fresh or frozen Strawberries on this cake. I made it for a friends birthday and also am going to make it easy on you with using a boxed cake for the recipe. Strawberry Cake :
Strawberry Cake:
1 Box Vanilla Cake
1 large Box Strawberry Jello, set aside 3 TBSP of Jello to use in frosting.
3 Eggs
1/3 cup Oil
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup blended fresh or frozen strawberry's plus 3 TBSP Strawberry's for icing
