Last Night's Open House

We had a great time at Beth's Open House last night. Beth Menke hosted the party and and showed her great jewelry line she designs and makes. Amy had her Pampered Chef set up in the kitchen with delicious samples, Shara had a Mary Kay table and Courtney had a Gold Canyon table so a great variety of items!





I took Cream Cheese Pound Cake and this is a recipe I really like and I promise it makes your whole house smell like the most wonderful vanilla buttery scent for hours!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

3 cups sugar
2 sticks butter
1 stick margarine
6 large eggs
1 8-oz package cream cheese
3 cups cake flour
1 tbsp vanilla

Cream sugar with butter, margarine and cream cheese. Mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Gradually add flour, beating well. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly. Pour into a well greased and lightly floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 80-90 minutes until done. Cool in pan for 20 minutes and remove. May be frozen. Serves 16-20.
