REPLANTING IRIS AFTER I DIVIDING

Last year I decided to put all of my irises in one bed.

So off I went digging them up and dividing them up.

I love irises because they come in so many varieties.

Here's what I did in dividing my irises.

 

Choose the rhizomes you wish to replant

from what you dug up and separated.

  

Loosen the dirt

Sprinkle bone meal and mix it into the soil.

CREAM CHEESE POUNDCAKE

One of the things I love to do is bake.

I love to try out new recipes that I find

and see if my family will like them.

In my house, cheese rules!

I found this recipe online and so I decided to make it.

All I can say about the finished product is  WOW!

It is delicious.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened at room temperature
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 3 cups sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

1. Beat the butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until cream (do not over beat); gradually add the sugar, beating well.  (I reduced the amount of sugar to 2 cups).
2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. (I used only 4 eggs)
3. Sift 3 cups of flour.  Combine the flour and salt; gradually add to the butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended after each addition.  Stir in vanilla.
4. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.  Smooth the top of the cake with a spatula to even it out.
5. Bake at 300°F for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; remove from the pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
