A Time For Everything..Including Baking! Recipe for Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Is it just me or did we just skip February?  I am amazed at how fast 2017 is rolling and I am afraid it is just going to pick up speed from here!

Well, a bit of catch up from my last post. I had a huge 10-day book/author tour that resulted in stopping at seven schools and a book club. I also took my canning supplies and canned several batches of lemon curd with one of my favorite peeps, dipped pretzels with a few adorable girls, visited several dear friends, had time with our grandbaby.

Click the short video below to catch a glimpse of the fun!

It was a lot of driving, but I didn’t mind at all because the scenery was so captivating. However, now it is time to apron up and get back to work. A time to pursue dreams and press into purpose, and maybe, just maybe..bake something fabulous for those you love.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

I have several projects that I am excited about getting started and working on, especially the ones involving recipes and food!

If there is something you come across that you want me to make..go ahead and send it my way along with a “Double Dog Dare-You” challenge!

So apron up, and let’s do some cooking and remember to savor every single bite..

Just in case you are in a recipe rut and looking to add a new twist on a favorite classic..here is one I just tried and my family loved it!

Mini-Upside Down Cakes

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1½ cups brown sugar
  • 24 maraschino cherries
  • 1 - 20 oz. can of sliced pineapple slices, tidbits or if you don't have either of those and are desperate to try this recipe, use crushed pineapple. RESERVE THE JUICE

  4. Press a maraschino cherry into the center of the brown sugar in each muffin cup.
  5. Place pineapple on brown sugar mixture. If you are using a larger muffin time you may be able to use the whole rings, otherwise just place smaller chunks, tidbits or crushed pineapple around the cherry.
  6. Mix cake mix according to the package directions, replacing the water with pineapple juice.
  7. You may need to add water to pineapple juice to make sure the liquid measurement if according to cake package directions.

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
