Secret Chef #1
MommaK, my neighbor over in Petroville, had a Q and A last week. I asked, "What is your favorite dish for Thanksgiving dinner? Please share the recipe."
She replied,
Thanks MommaK!
Coming tomorrow - photos of my freezer and pantry.
"Pineapple Mush (sounds gross but I have loved this since I was a little girl)." Pineapple Mush 1/2 cup butter 4 eggs 1 can crushed pineapple (with juice) 1 cup sugar 6 slices of bread, cubed Cream butter & sugar. Add eggs and rest of ingredients. Put in 9×9 square pan or souffle dish, bake 1 hr @ 350 degrees. Pineapple mush was always served on holidays in our house. It was probably most fitting at Easter with ham, but I always requested it and usually took the greatest helping. As a picky eater, it was the one thing besides the ham or turkey that I enjoyed without complaint. As I got older and ate more (and more, and more) it was, to me, like having my dessert with my dinner. Who can turn that down?Yesterday I baked MommaK's Thanksgiving favorite. I couldn't wait for dessert after supper. The baby was just beside himself wanting to taste the dish that looked so pretty and smelled so good. As usual I indulge my children so of course I had a nice big serving to please baby. OMG was it ever good. I thought it would be extremely sweet with a whole cup of sugar but was surprised to find that it wasn't. It was perfect. I used 8 slices of bread because two end pieces would be left and I hate to waste food and no one likes 2 bread heels for a sandwich. If you like pineapple and quick desserts this one is a keeper. I know I will be making this one again very soon. I just love pineapple. My momma cooked pineapple upside down cake when we were kids. I loved it then and I love it now. As a small child I was allergic to pineapple and never got to eat the beautifully scented dessert. I eventually grew out of it and indulged as often as possible in pineapple in any form.
MMmmmmmmmmm....I can almost smell it from here. It looks perfect, Ang! I'm so glad you liked it:)
Thanks to MommaK and Angie; I just printed the recipe and I will try it soon. My son loves pineapple - so I know he will like this one.
Looks awesome and sounds great as well. MMM...way to go Momma K
Have you always cooked this much? And when pregnant with your girls?
It would be interesting if your baby would one day grow to be a famous chef :)
YUM! Looks great! I'm definitely going to give this a try.
MommaK - I had it for breakfast! LOL
Judy - He should love it.
Jennifer - I grew up on a farm. Late summer and fall is freezer stocking time. Piggy to the market and kill the fatted calf is a way of life for me.
When close family or friends give birth, I always go over with at least a weeks worth of meals for their freezer. No one has ever done this for me. I have had to do it for myself. I am cooking a bit extra and putting things away so we won't have to work so hard to maintain our level of living when the new baby comes.
I forgot to mention that the crusty top is my favorite part:)YUM!!
Mmmm, looks and sounds yummy.
Looking forward to the photos of freezer and pantry. :)
Also, I love your blog look now, all dressed up for Halloween!
breakfast, lunch and dinner! I love pineapple and this sounds a lot like pineapple upside down cake goodness. And now that I'm back from the land of pineapples, I'm catching up here and heading over to Momma K's for the Survivor update...
In the spirit of trying others' recipes, I served your red velvet cake for my stepdaughter's birthday this evening. Big, big hit!!
And I used no subsitutions.
And I bought the last four bottles of red food coloring at the grocery.
Thanks, Angie!!
My 92 year old father absolutely loves pineapple. I am always looking for new recipes for him. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks for sharing.
