The key is chilling cake after each layer of ingredients you add. Instead of using a wooden spoon to poke holes in cake (which didn't seem to work for most people who left reviews), I pierced the cake using solid-ended thongs. After the thongs pierced the cake, I gently opened prongs up, creating a perfect space to spoon in pureed strawberries! Be careful with thongs near the edges so as to not cause the cake to crack open. It worked perfectly! I added thawed strawberries to white cake mix. Immediately after making pudding (before it had time to set and using 1 1/2 c milk instead of 2), I was able to "pour" it over cake, which was VERY important. I used cool whip and fresh strawberries for topping, yummy!

Chicken and Pasta Primavera

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2008

This is my boyfriend's new fav recipe~!! Modifications: I used fresh cut up boneless/skinless chicken breast instead of cans of chicken chunks. I also added to the recipe the following: more milk (maybe 1 1/2 cups total), 1/2 cup condensed evaporated milk, 1/4 tsp. red pepper, a dash of hot salt, 1/2 diced onion and a big tbs of chopped garlic. I followed the directions of the recipe except for #3. Instead, I poured this sauce over the cut up fresh chicken breast I had in a pan and baked in oven approx. 45 min. or until chicken was done. I kept the pasta separate until serving, when I then put some warm pasta on each dinner plate before pouring sauce and chicken over the pasta. You won't believe how good it is!
