Keno Losers. But still having a great time over pizza and beers! Pardon the weird eyes, had to take out the red eye!
Another shot from the table...
Sunday the guys went golfing, so my mom and I prepped for a cookout with the grandparents. We had free range chicken breasts, Italian sausages, sautéed green peppers/onions, homemade pasta salad, corn on the cob, and freshly baked Italian bread. As the finale closer, I baked a lemon-cornmeal pound cake that I found on the Cooking Light website and served it with fresh berries and homemade whipped cream (so much better than Cool Whip!).
The cake was a huge hit! I was really impressed by the moist texture of the lemony crumb and slight crunch of the outer crust. I’m not usually a pound or angel food cake lover, but this was dynamite! Slightly healthier than a piece of pie, it was the perfect ending to a jam packed weekend!
Hope you will all give this recipe a try. As the summer is winding down, this is one recipe that will let the season linger a little longer…
Lemon Cornmeal Pound Cake With Berries and Cream
It was a bit of an effort getting the cake out of the pan but doesn't she look pretty?
Tasty!

Mmm! How refreshing and delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Wow Erin! This looks great! Saving this one!
Oiy! That looks perfect! And with the fresh fruit… Mmmm!
Family time is always so lovely! Glad you were able to enjoy some quality time over the weekend
I’m going to give this cake a try for sure! Looks divine! xoxo Mel
I love lemon and I love pound cake. Makes sense to me!
You and your mom look so much alike
I’m not a angel food cake lover either, so to hear you liked it when you don’t I’ll have to try it. We’re having super hot weather here in California so it’s the perfect time for a cool-light dessert.

I feel the SAME way about my family, and your relationship with your mom sounds exactly like mine. I love it! I absolutely love spending time with my family…we are a crazy bunch when together!
The pound cake looks amazing, too! Definitely saving that recipe to make for a crowd!
I can see why the cake was such a big hit…it looks and sounds delicious! Especially with lemon and cornmeal (very different twist on a traditional cake) It sounds like you had a nice weekend!
Sounds good to me! I’m all about the lemon stuff these days.
I always make pound cake with my mom:) Cute, cute.
Keno?! I miss that, we use to play all the time in Michigan, lol.
DROOLING! i love the idea of cornmeal poundcake…and it’s gorgeous!
Oh yum! Erin, this looks amazing. I’ll have to make it for my mom – she loves lemon!
That poundcake sounds wonderful!
