If I had a large casa, this would be my dream cocktail room/lounge. A place to unwind where mid-century modern meets hollywood regency.

Have a great weekend!

2 ingredient cake

Happy Tuesday. Today I wanted to share a super quick and easy recipe for Pineapple Cake that my grandmother always made when I was a kid. 

Ingredients:

1 box of Angel Food Cake mix

1 20oz can of crushed pineapple (do NOT drain)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix and crushed pineapple.

Then pour cake batter in a 9x13 inch pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes (until top is golden brown).

Fruit puree (optional):

1 1/2 c sugar

1 c water

16oz bag of frozen fruit (strawberries or raspberries)

Combine water & sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. Heat until sugar dissolves into a syrup. Allow the syrup to cool off.

Combine syrup and thawed frozen berries in a blender to puree. The puree can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Slice, serve & enjoy.

I hope you enjoy! 

A room to grow into

A Room To Grow Into by luvnlullabies on Polyvore.com

Come and check out my dream nursery/toddler room I created in Polyvore!
I have always been attracted to Danish & Mid-Century inspired furniture, so when I saw these items I couldn't resist.
I love it when I see a nursery that has furniture and pieces that can grow with the child!

Have a great day!

My waistline grew a little

So here is a recap on what I made yesterday. There have been a couple of recipes I have been wanting to try and finally did.

I have been looking for a new Linguine recipe and found one from Tyler Florence that we really enjoyed! It was light and didn't require many ingredients like some do. I also made Ina's garlic bread which has now made me an addict.

Sorry I didn't take a pic of the final meal.

Finally, I made Ina's amazing chocolate cake! I am not even a big "cake" lover but this will be made again soon.

bon appetit
