Pineapple Upside Down Cake

By -
Here is the first of the the two desserts that are great for a Hawaiian Inspired party.

1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple (drain and save the liquid)
1 box yellow, white, vanilla (what I used), butter yellow, or pineapple cake mix
ingredients to make cake according to the package
Whipped cream (optional)

Melt the butter in a 9x13 pan in the pre-heating oven. When the butter is melted, sprinkle with brown sugar then drained pineapple. Make the cake according to the directions, using the drained pineapple juice as a substitute for the water. Pour the mix over the butter, brown sugar, pineapple. Bake according to the cake mix directions.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10ish minutes, then invert the cake on a platter.
Top with whipped cream if desired.

*This cake was really good. I don't LOVE pineapple upside down cakes, but of all I have ever tasted, this was the best.

Feta Party Dip

I can't take any credit for this. This was ALL Patrice. She made it for us the night of the big "Candy Making Party", and it was a HUGE success. I've never thought that I liked feta cheese. It's probably because I have been scared to eat much of it. I'll even admit that as I watched Patrice put this dip together I was thinking to myself, "That is a lot of feta!" After just one taste, I wondered WHY I hadn't eated more feta cheese before this! Seriously, this dip is that good. olive oil 1 block (1#) of feta cheese tomatoes (any kind)…I use about 3 Roma’s 1 bunch of green onions 1 baguette Greek Seasoning 1. Pour the olive oil into the bottom of whatever pan/platter you are using for the dip. 2. Dice the tomatoes and green onions and put them in the olive oil. 3. Crumble the feta on top of the tomatoes and green onions. 4. Sprinkle with the Greek Seasoning, about 3 tsp. (Patrice said she found the seasoning at Walmart. It is called Cavender...

Here is another great recipe from one of my favorite recipe blogs. If you haven't checked out "Our Best Bites", you really should. They have lots of great recipes. Billie Jo just bought their cookbook and made an AMAZING birthday dinner for Tim. I can't wait until she posts the recipes.(hint hint) Okay, I guess because she is having a baby tomorrow I will give her a little time. I also attatched their recipe for cilantro/lime dressing because it is SO good to dip these in! I had decided to make these for our Relief Society dinner, but decided it would be a good idea to test them out on the family first. Luke said it best when he declared that these were one of his new favortie foods! 1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese 1/4 C green salsa 1T fresh lime juice 1/2 t cumin 1 t chili powder 1/2 t onion powder 1/4 t granulated garlic, or garlic powder 3 T chopped cilantro 2 T sliced green onions 2 C shredded cooked chicken 1 C grated pepperjack cheese corn or flour tortillas cooking s...

Fresh Fruit Bruschetta

Ready for a trip back to Bear Lake? I am. But since I can't take another week off of work for vacation, I will just have to go there in my mind. These little babies will help. Patrice got an early start on breakfast one morning, just to make this for us. They were so good! I could've eaten them all day long. Patrice had her "Our Best Bites" cookbook out, and graced our bellies with a couple of their wonderful recipes. If you haven't seen their recipe-site, or checked out their book you really should. They give us wonderful recipes like this! Thanks Patrice, for the amazing breakfast. 1 baguette or similar-sized French bread loaf 4 Tbsp. butter, melted 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Your choice of fresh fruit.
