  7. I love easy recipes!! Thank you!! Pineapple upside down cake is a fave of mine. But no body does them anymore!
    Mulberries? WE had mulberry trees in one of our yards, but Mama called them junk trees. You mean we could have been eating the fruit??

  10. Oh tell me this is as good as it sounds. Makes me think of my pineapple upside down pancakes. Take a box of premixed pancake mix with instructions to just add water. instead replace the water content with pineapple juice. For a batch of 12 pancakes I prefer to dry out approximately 8oz of crushed pineapple and add that to the mix; then take 6 maraschino cherries, cut them in half and press them into the center of the batter as you ladle out your pancakes. Served with a pineapple-coconut-lime simple syrup. Hope you enjoy it half as much as your bundt cake. #digestthepassion
