Hmm hmm hmm hmm to me!!!!

After going back and forth I finally decided to post this picture of me. :) The debate is that I don't look that great. It is kind of frustrating. You all know that I don't wear much make-up and that my pony tail and I are inseperable but I was busy all day so I never got around to getting beautified. :) On the other hand there should be some record of how I looked on my 32nd birthday. Who knows maybe this is the cutest and skinniest I will ever be. If I don't document it now... hehe Thanks for listening. I also wanted to share that it was one of those good days. :) Playing with my kids and really enjoying them. We had nowhere we had to be and noone cared what we did or did not get done. :) If you have ever seen the movie Charly. They are in the yard playing and the mother is shelling peas. Charly asks her if it is always like this and the mother smiled and said no, this is just a good day. :) I love the moments that make it all worth while and I was lucky enough to have a whole day. :)
I don't know if other families do this but... I was raised taking a picture of christmas and birthday loot. :) I am wearing most of what I received. Below you will find a pic of me and my SINGING TELEGRAM!!!! That is right! My in-laws sent these sweet gentlemen over to my house to sing happy birthday to me! It was great!!!

And now the moment you have all been waiting for...the recipe for SNICKERS CAKE.

After years of making it I nailed it this year. I will tell you how to make it and you can't take shortcuts. p.s. I don't know who Vernalisa is, but you must give credit where credit is due. :)

Snickers Cake
Compliments of Vernalisa's Recipe Index

1 box German Chocolate cake mix (any chocolate is good)

1 pack Caramels (small pack) (DON'T use ice cream topping!)

1/2 cup Butter

1/3 cup Milk

6 oz. Chocolate Chips (I like Milk Chocolate)

1 cup nuts, chopped (any nuts are fine but make sure they are roasted NOT RAW, salted is also a bonus. I use peanuts)

Mix the cake as directed. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake in pregeated 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Melt caramels, butter and milk together. Pour over baked mixture. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over caramel mixture. Pour remaining cake batter over top of all and bake 20 minutes at 250 degrees.

Enjoy warm or chilled. :)
