pineapple upside down cake

i'm not the best baker in the world, but i thought i'd try making pineapple upside down cake in our new cast iron skillet.





not too shabby!  it was yummy too - i had to work hard not to eat the entire thing in one sitting (the last piece was devoured by monday morning).  the kiddos loved it.  hubby, who is not a pineapple person, liked it too and said the cake had a cornbread consistency that he liked.

got the idea from lucinda scala quinn's recipe, except i used the recipe from the better homes cookbook becos i didn't have pecans or limes.



i also made another batch of homemade ramen dinner, with chicken, snow peas and broccolini instead:





it was okay, but i preferred it with beef instead.  the snow peas was a good addition, but i think i'd leave the broccolini as a side instead.  it's fun to experiment.

  1. Yummy pineapple upside down cake. I like the sleeve you have for your handle on your skillet.

    I think I am going to have to try a homemade ramen dinner> I like the idea of the peas and broccoli.
