Pineapple"n"Spice and everything nice


The weekend is finally here!!!! and I had a wonderful time  tonight with my friends over supper.... haven't seen them in a while so there was a lot of catching up to do... I thought I will share some of the items from tonight's menu with you:

The  Pineapple-upside down-cake is one of my favorite cakes to bake...and it's a hit every time I serve my guests, pssssst...... I cheated a wee bit, its from a boxed cake mix... a huge time saver!!!!! It looks so colorful and tempting, despite being from a box, don't you agree??

  

I love making these fruit tartlets for my guests... and the kids simply love 'em... they magically disappear within minutes!!

 They are so easy to make... just whip up until smooth:
   1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
   1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
   1/4 cup of orange juice concentrate
   3 tablespoon lemon juice
   1 cup of heavy whipping cream, whipped
   3 drops of yellow food coloring, optional
   12 graham cracker tart shells

   Pour the mixture into ready made graham cracker tart shells, chill for few hours, garnish with fruits of your choice and you're  done!!!!

    How about these sausage won-ton wraps as hors d'oeuvres:


And last but not the least, the spicy bbq chicken:

  I'm looking forward to a lovely weekend, spending time in my garden and getting it ready for planting. Planning which color flowers to plant in different containers is so much fun!!
Have a great weekend, I know I will!
