Memorial Day Lemon Cake

This cake was a little involved to make, but it turned out great and everyone seemed to enjoy it!

Ingredients:

1 box lemon cake mix

2 boxes of instant lemon gelatin

1 box of instant lemon pudding

1 cup hot water

1 cup milk

8 ounce container of thawed whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Directions:

Spray bottom of 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

Make the cake according to box directions in a 9x13 pan.

When cake comes out of the oven poke holes all over the top with a fork.

Combine 1 cup hot water with 1 package of instant lemon gelatin.

Pour over the cake.

Place cake in the fridge until cool.

In a large bowl combine remaining instant gelatin package, instant pudding package with 1 cup milk.

Stir in whipped topping.

Refrigerate cake until serving.

*I messed up and bought cook and serve lemon pudding, so I actually had to make the lemon pudding. If this happens to you, just follow the pudding directions. Water, sugar, pudding, 2 egg yolks, combine until it boils, then let it cool to a thick pudding consistency. DO NOT ADD the milk part of the directions. Just mix the cooked pudding with the lemon gelatin then stir in the whipped topping.

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75. It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter. I ordered an additional apple pie too. It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
