A white cake with splashes of raspberry Jell-O and a deliciously creamy frosting make this a fun (but super simple) Raspberry Poke Cake! ANOTHER FRUITY POKE CAKE Poke cakes are one of my favorite easy desserts to make. I fell in love with this Raspberry Poke Cake from the moment I took the first bite!

Sure, you could try a yellow or French vanilla cake mix instead. Can I use different frosting? Certainly. Canned frosting is possible or any other frosting you enjoy. What else can I add? I think coconut could be added on top to make it like a Raspberry Zinger Cake. Can I use other Jell-O flavors? Yes, other Jell-O flavors can be used. If you do this, then the flavor will obviousy change, but it will still be yummy. I have a ton of Poke Cake recipes on my site.

The longer the leftovers are kept, the soggier they can become and the texture can change.Any leftovers should be covered and kept in the fridge for up to a week or can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) white cake mix – this is my suggestion on what to use as it works best, but other ideas can be found in the FAQ section. egg whites – if you’re sticking to the white cake mix like I suggest, you’ll only need the egg whites when mixing it.

See more ideas in the FAQ section and in the Craving More Recipes section. water – you need boiling water and cold water to help activate the raspberry gelatin. instant pudding mix – I suggest using vanilla pudding mix and be sure to grab the instant, not the cook n serve kind. whipped topping – I use Cool Whip, but any brand will work.

UPDATED 6/12/2024 Dolly Parton, the 11 Grammy Award winner, had always claimed that her family was poor while she was growing up. She and her 11 other siblings lived in a two-room log cabin, and yet she loved her humble beginnings so much that it inspired her to build a replica of her childhood home in the Dollywood theme park located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. A signpost outside the house reads, “These mountains and my childhood home have a special place in my heart. They inspire my music and my life. I hope being here does the same for you! Dolly.” This pretty much sums up the influence that cabin has had in her development as both a person and a musical artist. And, it should be noted, that Dolly reflected on where she grew up in the lyrics to “My Tennessee Mountain Home”: In my Tennessee mountain home, Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh; In my Tennessee mountain home, Crickets sing in the fields nearby.” The Original Log House At the time the Partons were living in the original home, there was neither electricity nor running water. The cabin has a kitchen with a table that seats six, a small pantry and stove, a washing basin between the kitchen and bedroom, and a two-thirds wall separating the kitchen from the only bedroom in the house. YouTube Video Screenshot This type of house was quite common in the mountains of Tennessee at the time of Dolly’s childhood. Growing up, she revealed, they used to catch fireflies in mason jars and kept them in their rooms for light. Despite not having much as they were growing up, neither she nor her siblings ever thought they were “poor,” because they were rich in things that money couldn’t buy, like love, kindness, and understanding. RELATED: WATCH: Dolly Parton And Willie Nelson Ride Golf Carts Through Dollywood YouTube Video Screenshot Years later, Dolly bought the house, implemented repairs and restored it to the way it looked in the 1950s. She has jokingly said in interviews that she spent a fortune making that cabin look as poor as it did when she was a child. The home is still standing in Locust Ridge, nearby Evans Chapel. YouTube Video Screenshot The Replica The replica of the house was built by Dolly’s brother, Bobby, with the design and furnishing of the interior by her mother, Avie Lee. It stands near the entrance of the Dollywood theme park, thus serving as a good place to start exploring Dolly’s history. Most of the items displayed in the cabin are preserved family treasures that were brought from the old house. YouTube Video Screenshot The kitchen has on display dishes, cast iron pans, and a butter churner, while its walls are covered with floral wallpaper and old newspapers as used in the original for insulation during cold weather. The dining area is furnished with a small table set with plates and aluminum coffee cups. Shelves are lined with jars and tins, and baskets filled with firewood sit on the floors. In the bedroom, there is a bed with a couch pushed against it and Dolly’s old pictures hanging above the bed. One thing you may notice is that there are no books in evidence — truth be told, there weren’t any in the original home either, outside of the Bible. “We weren’t allowed to bring books home from school because we had so many little kids in the house,” Dolly related to ABC News. “They would just chew them up, tear them up, pee on them, whatever. So mama just read the Bible. Nobody touched the Bible. She used to tell us all of the stories from the Bible and make them beautiful, like Joseph and the coat of many colors. She read that to me when she was making my little coat of many colors to make me proud of it.” Observes msn.com, “The replica of Dolly’s childhood home not only honors her roots, but also embodies the essence of her character — resilience, creativity and a deep connection to her family and heritage. It provides a tangible link to her origins, offering fans and visitors alike a unique glimpse into the early life of a star who rose from poverty to international acclaim.” Curbed.com points out that most of the buildings at Dollywood are filled with things fans can buy, ranging from souvenir coffee mugs, key chains and magnets to objects like bags of gum balls, pony sticks and harmonicas. But when it comes to the cabin replica, it “isn’t about consumption; it is about nostalgia. Although we tend to think of nostalgia as a desire for the past, the word comes from the Greek nostros, which means a longing for home. At Dollywood, the home is the origin point for how you understand yourself and your life.” Click for next Article The post Take A Look At These Photos Of Dolly Parton’s Childhood Home appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.

The American sitcom Happy Days, created by Garry Marshall, brought joy to viewers as they followed the lives of the Cunningham family, a middle-class household navigating life in the ’50s and ’60s Wisconsin. To many fans, the show represented a simpler, nostalgic era; hence, it became a timeless classic. The TV sitcom series also played a pivotal role in launching the careers of its iconic actors. As the show marked its 50th anniversary earlier this year, surviving cast members reflected on its success in their professional lives. They shared insights into how the series shaped their careers and its enduring influence on American television history. Henry Winkler says ‘Happy Days’ cast remained close-knit despite a major shakeup in the third season HAPPY DAYS, (clockwise from Top L), Henry Winkler, Tom Bosley, Anson Williams, Marion Ross, Ron Howard, Erin Moran, Donny Most, 1974-1984.

Courtesy: Everett Collection When the TV series Happy Days premiered, it initially centered around Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard, and his friend Warren “Potsie” Weber, portrayed by Anson Williams, along with the rest of the Cunningham family. However, the show didn’t gain much popularity among viewers during its early seasons. It wasn’t until the series underwent a significant revamping that it caught the attention of a wider audience. The transition by Marshall transformed the show into a broader multicamera sitcom focused on Henry Winkler’s character, Arthur Fonzarelli, also known as “The Fonz.” RELATED: Pat Morita: The Tragic Life Of The ‘Karate Kid’ and ‘Happy Days’ Star Revealed Although the show’s theme changed, it never affected the relationship between Howard and the new star, Winkler. They maintained a strong and positive connection both on and off the set. In a 2023 interview with Fox News Digital, Winkler shared that he gained professional experience from the former child actor. He spoke highly of Howard’s influence, emphasizing how their collaboration enriched his understanding of the industry and enhanced his acting skills.
