Pineapple Angel Food Shortcake Take 2

I did it again :). But this time I made it better. I used an extra can of crushed pineapple and a bit of sugar and blended it up. Used it to top the pineapple angel food cake.

So here's how it goes:

Mix one box of angel food cake with a can of crushed pineapple. Nothing else. Then pour it in a pan and bake as the box says to for regular angelfood cake.

Then for the topping, quarter cup sugar and a can of crushed pineapple in the blender.

And maybe a dab of whipped cream :).

The pineapple angel food cake was good, but could be a little less dry so I decided, why not do something like strawberry shortcake but with pineapples? It was amazing and so much better than the cake by itself.

Soy vs. Sweet'n'sour Pineapple Chicken

Christmas Dinner!!!

Christmas Dinner started with lots of Chicken and a few cans of crushed pineapple.

Above is part one. I put half a can of the crushed pineapple in each pan, then about a quarter cup of soy sauce in the pan on the right and a half cup of sweet'n'sour in the pan on the right. Mixed it all up and then put the chicken in. I diced up some thawed chicken. Put covers on the pans, and let it sit in the fridge overnight to soak up the goodness :). 

Coming out of the oven; soy on the right, sweet'n'sour on the left. 

It smelled absolutely amazing! I used about a pound and a half of chicken in each pan. My very amazing boyfriend also made his chicken. He does what he calls brown chicken. I'm pretty sure there's catsup in his. I didn't picture his because we eat that every week so it didn't seem as exciting at the time. I'll have to chronicle that sometime... 

And the after, on a very cute snowman plate. Again, soy on the right and the sweet'n'sour on the left on the same plate over the rice. The pineapple was a nice addition. It was subtle enough that even if you're not a fan of pineapple, you'd probably still like this quite a bit. 

And what did my family say??? Soy or Sweet'n'sour???

They loved LOVED the Sweet'N'Sour  Pineapple Chicken best. 

It will be an addition to our more routine meals :). I'm glad I tried something new!
