Girl Scout Cookie-Inspired Samoa Bundt Cake Recipe

Chadwick Benefield — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:30:12 +0000

A couple of days ago, my friend Staci Scott posted this recipe on my Facebook page. She knows that I am an absolute slave to Girl Scout Cookies . . . specifically the Samoa. In fact, I emcee the Girl Scouts Desserts First event annually and pretty much do it in exchange for cookies. Yes, I proudly hold a cardboard sign that says "Will work for Samoas!" So, imagine my delight to see that Staci found a bundt cake recipe inspired by that very same cookie. Check this out!

Chad and The Girl Scouts Among Participants in Annual TREK [Video]

The 15th annual TREK to benefit the St. Joseph's Peace Mission for Children took place yesterday. Each year, the event kicks off at First Security Bank on the river in Calhoun and wraps up on HWY 56 at David Yewell's home. David started this TREK 15 years ago and it has grown into an impressive annual tradition and fundraiser. TREK is a challenging but exhilirating 13-mile bike, walk and run and participants of all ages tackle the course. Yesterday, I encountered a local Girl Scout troop biking along for a great cause and I even managed to hitch (okay, steal!) a ride on a bike. Check it out!

Moon Mullins — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 07:29:12 +0000

The Girl Scouts turned 100 this year. Founded by Juliette Gordon Low originally for the girls of Savannah, GA., today there are scouts all over the world. They started selling the cookies in 1917, today over 200 million boxes are sold each year. The Parade article made me wonder if there were Country singers who had been girl scouts.
