When your in the middle of a blizzard, and lucky enough to still have your power, you bake…What else is there to do?
I had already made some Beef Stew in this great Stoneware Crock my Mom gave me for Christmas.
I had some apples and remembered this awesome Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe I have made in the past. It’s an old Amish recipe that I got from a cookbook. The cake has Mace in it, which gives it a fabulous spice flavor. It actually makes the entire cake, so don’t even think of eliminating it! I thought I would replace the apples for the pineapple.
I can’t think of a better reward for all that shoveling! 24 inches and counting,,,ugg…can’t wait for Spring!!!
