Instructions to make Tinklee's 4th of July Flag Cake (2 ways):
  1. FOR SHEET CAKE : mix up one cake mix according to directions (I used betty crocker and the ingredient list matches it)
  2. add blue food coloring to this cake batter, color to your desired darkness
  3. bake in an 11" x 15" size pan, at 350f, check at about 20mins, might take a lil longer though, when done let cake cool
  4. mix up the last 2 cake mixes together according to directions, add red food coloring, now you need to divide the batter into 7, the way I did this was measure how much total cake batter I had, then I divided it by 7, bake all seven layers, be careful they are thin layers, and they do not take long to bake, maybe 7-10 mins
  5. to layer cake - start with a red layer, then spread white frosting, making sure the white fristing becomes a stripe also, add 2nd red layer, frosting, 3rd. red layer, frosting,
  6. take blue layer and make marks dividing it into forths on the short side, now cut the two end pieces off, so you have 2 long strips of blue
  7. add 1 blue strip to each side of cake, frost inside edge of blue cake, your cake should have a whole strip down the middle we will now fill with the remaining red cake layers, take and cut a red layer to size and place down, frost, take 2nd layer of red and cut to fit gap, frost, place 3rd red layer, frost, take last red layer, cut to to gap and place into place, you should be at the top of the cake, your cake should look like a rectangle of red an white stripes with 2 blue stripes running down the sides, now frost cake as you wish
  8. when you go to slice this cake you cut the cake in half long ways. then cut slices across, you will get 2 flags slices
  9. FOR ROUND CAKE- mix one cake mix up, divide in half (measure this out to figure how much batter you have, then divide by 2), take and add blue food coloring to one half, bake in a 9" round pan, should take less then 15mins to bake, make up last cake mix, add the half of cake mix already made up and measure your batter, then divide by 7, then start baking your rounds using only the amount to be used for each layer,
  10. start with the 1st red layer, then frosting, then 2nd red layer, frosting, 3rd red cake layer, frosting
  11. find a 5" round circle that you can use as a guide and cut a hole in the very middle of the blue layer of cake, place this donut looking shape on top of cake, frost the inside of the cutout area of the blue layer, now use that same 5" guide and cut the remaining 4 red layers of cake into 5" rounds
  12. now place 1st cut round inside of hole on cake, now frost, add 2nd layer, frost, 3rd layer, frost, now add last layer and frost cake however you would like, when you slice into this cake you will always have a flag for each piece
  13. When serving cake, place white stars in the blue area of cake, it makes for a very nice finish

Discover How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, may better your mood. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating a couple of eggs to cheer up!

Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic source of protein.

Cold water fish are great if you want to feel happier. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.

Grains can be excellent for driving away a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping increase your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. Feeling starved can actually make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help you be happier too!

You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
