Vanilla Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package TJ’s Vanilla Cake Mix
• 1 1/4 stick TJ’s Unsalted Butter
• 2 TJ’s Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tbsp TJ’s Organic Brown sugar
• 2 cups TJ’s Frozen Pineapple Tidbits

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 stick of butter, 2 eggs, and milk with the Vanilla Cake Mix; set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 stick of butter; mix until all the brown sugar has dissolved (about 5 minutes). Carefully pour the syrup into the bottom of a cake pan, lay the pineapple pieces over the syrup, and then fill with the cake mix. Place inside the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until you can pierce the center with a toothpick, and have it come out clean (also you can give it a quick shake; if it jiggles like gelatin, give it more time). Let cool, then stand on your head and enjoy! (Joking.) Carefully put a plate over the cake pan and flip it over so the pineapples are on top- now it’s time for serious enjoyment.

Serves: 5 – 6
Cooking Time: 40 – 50 Minutes

With Liberty and Grilled Corn for All!

Ingredients

• 6 TJ’s Corn on the Cob
• 6 tablespoons TJ’s Butter, TJ’s Garlic & Herb Butter or TJ’s Cilantro Salad Dressing
• TJ’s Salt Grinder, to taste
• TJ’s Pepper Grinder, to taste

Instructions

For each cob, remove two or three outer layers of the husk. A few layers should remain to protect the corn as it cooks, but not all of it is needed. Gently pull down the remaining husks to expose the corn and the silk. Remove as much of the silk as is possible. Place husks back over the ears and rinse thoroughly with water, making sure to get the husks good and wet. If desired, gently pull away the husks once again to expose the corn and coat/baste with a tablespoon of softened butter (regular or herb) or cilantro dressing. Fold the husks back into place and line up all the corn on a sturdy sheet of aluminum foil. Place the foil directly on the grill over medium-high heat. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning frequently, but allowing the husks to get nice and charred. Carefully remove from grill and let cool a minute or two before serving.

Serves: 6 – 12
Cooking Time: 20 – 30 Minutes
