What I Did This Weekend

On Saturday morning, Logan, Nikki, & I made these pictures. Aren't they awesome? Kind of a poor picture of the pictures, but they are awesome in real life. :)


Then, since my family is inbetween houses, we had them over for dinner Sunday. It was fun to have everyone over, and to have an excuse to make this!



Egg Nog Spice Bundt Cake

1 box spice cake mix
1 (4-serving) box instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup light egg nog
1 egg
3 egg whites
1 1/3 cups toasted chopped pecans
Powdered sugar (I topped it with glaze instead of powdered sugar)

Preheat oven to 350. Coat a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, yogurt, oil, eggnog, egg, and egg whites in a large bowl. Mix until creamy. Stir in pecans. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or use the glaze recipe below.

3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 cup pecans, chopped & toasted

Stir brown sugar, whipping cream, and butter in saucepan over medium-high heat until smooth. Boil three minutes, stirring often. Stir in pecans. Spoon over warm cake.
