Twinkie Cake

Ingredients:

1 box of Twinkies

3-4 Bananas, peeled and sliced

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapples (drained well)

1 box (3 oz.) Instant Vanilla Pudding

2 cups cold milk1 tub (8 oz.) Whipped Topping, thawed

Maraschino cherries and chopped nuts, for topping

Directions:

Remove Twinkies from the wrappers. You'll use 7-9. Place sliced Twinkies in a 9 x 13 pan, cream side up.

Next, layer sliced bananas on top of Twinkies.

Spread the crushed pineapples on top of the bananas.

In a separate bowl, combine instant pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk it together until combined and allow it to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes, thickened, but still pourable.Pour pudding over crushed pineapple, spread it out.

Next spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer.

Optional: Top with cherries and chopped pecans.

I prefer this made with a yellow butter cake, once cooled slice the top off to make it level then add the layers as directed above.

Sarge

This is Sargent, a.k.a Sarge.

He will be 4 months old on January 5, 2012. 

He came to live with us the Thursday before Christmas, 2011.

He has lived in a kennel until then. 

He was gifted to us from Dr. Gary Holden and his wife, Pam, when we lost Faith on 12-21-2011.

He didn't know how to climb stairs, play, whine or bark.

He doesn't eat treats.

He's not very sure how to interact with us.

I really hope that left ears stays bent over he looks pretty cute that way!

This is how I spent my New Years Eve 2012,

taking photos of a dog chewing on his first rib bone.

At least he's pretty cute to take photos of!!

I think I found something that he likes

and gives him something to do that he enjoys.
