Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

June 5, 2015 by Cate 17 Comments

A delicious and classic recipe for Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, made with fresh pineapple. This caramelized fruit is a perfect complement to moist yellow cake.

With all the baking that I do, you would think that I have tried every classic recipe at least one time. Nope. Not even close. There are just SO many amazing recipes out there. My to-bake list is never-ending. However I am trying to knock out some of the most classic recipes, and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is on that list! I know it isn’t that popular anymore, but it is such a well-known old fashioned recipe that I just had to try my hand at making one. Plus, I’m not sure how this happened, but I had never actually eaten a piece of pineapple upside-down cake until I made this one! Verdict: I am a fan!

Healthy Pineapple Coconut Smoothies

May 24, 2013 by TheBetterHalf 11 Comments

This healthy pineapple coconut smoothie tastes rich and creamy, but the whole thing only has 214 calories! It is like a tropical vacation in a glass!

It is finally starting to feel like summer! Which means I want to eat ice cream pretty much all the time (TheBetterhalf: How is this different from winter?). NYC is dangerous for me – there is an ice cream or fro-yo store on almost every block. But rather than giving in to the temptation the other day, I decided to make a coconut smoothie to satisfy my craving for a frozen treat. I like to make my smoothies with yogurt and milk so that they are creamy and make it seem like I’m drinking a milkshake. But I use almond milk and fat free yogurt, so the calorie count stays low and there is very little fat. I went with a pineapple coconut smoothie to really make myself feel like I was on vacation! The entire thing only has 214 calories, and this make a huge smoothie! For those looking for a fun drink to make over the long holiday weekend, this pineapple coconut smoothie would also be great with a little rum added in. Cheers! …

Pineapple Mint Tequila Mojito

This Pineapple Mint Tequila Mojito is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that will be the hit of any party! The tart lime tastes amazing with the sweet pineapple!

It’s finally Friday! I don’t know about you, but I could use a cocktail (or two)! This refreshing pineapple mint tequila mojito will do the trick! This cocktail is delicious. The light sweetness from the mint simple syrup and the fresh pineapple complements the tequila and lime perfectly. Top it off with club soda for some bubbly action and you have a perfect cocktail! The original recipe calls for rum, but TheBetterHalf and I prefer tequila mojito. I think this would also be great with vodka. I decided to put a sugared lime rim on our cocktails because it looks so pretty – and because I am a fan of sugar if you couldn’t tell. It is so easy, just zest one or two of your limes and mix it with some sugar. Cheers! Hope you all have a great weekend. …
