About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

I needed a cake mix for the Jello Poke Cake I wanted to make to take to my nephews for our fourth of July celebration. Since I didn't have one on hand I decided to see if I could find out how to make one and came across this recipe. It baked up good but not as high as I anticipated. She does say in the blog that cake mixes make small cakes but they usually come up higher in my 9X13. Next time I will make two up and put in the pan. I didn't get to taste of the cake but the kid'o's at the party enjoyed it so it must have been good. After baking the cake I poked the holes in and poured the strawberry Jello over. I decorated it with cool whip, strawberries and blue berries to look like a flag.
