Old Fashioned Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Pineapple upside down cake really is one of my favorite desserts. Not only is it delicious, but it holds a happy memory for me, because I remember coming home from school, and my Mom would give me a piece, with a cold glass of milk.

I actually only made this cake a couple of times for my own kids when they were young, but now that they are all grown up, I have more time to bake from scratch.
I know how tempting it is to use a box of cake mix instead of baking from scratch, but it really isn't that much harder, and it makes all the difference in the world.

Anyway, this is a recipe from Martha Stewart, and it's actually quite easy. I've made it a few times and it has always come out moist and delicious.

Ready To Win GO SEAHAWKS!!!

I am not a huge football fan, it's really more about the family getting together and eating some really delicious food and acting silly.

But I couldn't let today go by without saying how proud I am of my Seattle Seahawks and wishing them good luck today in the game. The fans here are incredible, and the support for our team is so awesome.

Have fun today everybody, and GO HAWKS!!!!

Oatmeal Strawberry Jam Bars

I like granola bars because they are a tasty and quick snack. What I don't like is that they are loaded with preservatives, and some things I can't even pronounce.

These Oatmeal Strawberry Jam Bars are a great alternative. They are delicious, easy to make, and healthy. You can also change up the jam flavor, raspberry also tastes wonderful.

I love them, my family loves them, and I hope you will too.

Angelina Ballerina On With The Show DVD Review and Giveaway #sponsored

I have a soft spot in my heart for Angelina Ballerina. My daughters, who are all grown up now, used to love reading the books, and I loved how sweet they were.

So of course I'm thrilled that my two year old granddaughter, Ashley, now loves Angelina Ballerina as well. My girls didn't have the DVDs to watch, so I am happy that they are available for Ashley to enjoy.
