Do you watch TV? One of my least favorite things is commercials especially on some channels that seem to play the same commercials over and over and over...and over. ha! I want to say "No thank you. If you have to show me commercials, can you show me something else?" There are some online TV/movie services that offer that option.
As Christians, we have options of what "commercial" we will show others. Will we show the same message of Christ's love over and over and over...and over? Or will we display our own message that may not be so Christ-like? Let's make the effort, mostly through practice, prayer and Bible study, to refine our personal commercial to always show our Lord Jesus!
Lord, you give us strength through your Holy Spirit. Please help us rely on you to send your message through our lives!
Foodie Friday
I saw a recipe like this on Facebook the other day. I looked for a mini version of it (instead of jumbo cupcake size). This is not something I would eat, but I know a lot of folks who would enjoy them!
Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes
Cake Ingredients:
2 eggs
2/3 cup white sugar
4 Tbsp pineapple juice
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Topping:
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick or 4 Tbsp)
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1-can pineapple rings
6-maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, add eggs, white sugar, and pineapple juice. Beat for 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and turn mixer back on for 2 minutes.
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Stir on low heat for one minute.
Spoon a layer of the warm brown sugar mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin, then place a pineapple ring on top. Add a cherry in the middle of each pineapple. Pour cake mixture over to fill muffin tin 3/4 of the way full. If you are using regular muffin tins, you will need to cut down the rings to fit or just use pineapple tidbits.
Bake jumbo cakes for 25 minutes. Bake regular cakes for 20 minutes. If you choose to make a large cake, bake for 22-25 minutes in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. The cake is done with a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
This is the hard part...waiting for warm cakes to finish baking.
Remove from the oven. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each cake to help loosen in case it sticks a little. Place a wire cooling rack on top, and quickly flip over on top of sheet tray to catch extra drippings.
Place wire rack of cakes on sheet tray to cool. Enjoy!
