I'm a connisseur of cakes and this is one of my favorites. MMMMMmmmm.
There are so many reasons why I love Ricardo. Particularly when he really gets me. Last night, he got home from work, the kids were playing, I was mixing up a pineapple upside down cake. I really really love cake. Really. And while at the grocery store, I'd decided that for no darned good reason, cake was a good idea. And if I made pineapple upside down cake, it's totally justified because it doesn't have frosting, ANNNNND, it's a serving of fruit for crying out loud.
Lucy came in and asked to help. So, I told her my super duper secret for a great pineapple upside down cake, and then when she wasn't impressed by that, I let her do the brown sugar, pineapples, and her favorite part - the cherries.
So, Ricardo walks in to the kitchen, "Smells good in here!"
"Thanks, I probably shouldn't shop for groceries while hungry."
"What's for dinner?"
"Uh - I don't know. I just wanted cake."
Slight pause of questionable lack of responsibility as a mother, and then disregard that...
"That's cool."
God I love this man. I finished the cake and eventually made a very healthy dinner. And then we watched the Biggest Loser while eating cake.
That's how I roll.




That is a great hubby!!!
I hate to spoil your Sunday drive down Healthy Cake Dinner Lane, but:
a) A dollop of cream cheese icing is great on Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
b) Most men won't object to "dessert for dinner". Who would argue with that logic? But What-a-guy! anyway. There aren't any more like him!
