I know I know... I was supposed to write this to you yesterday but I had one of those moments.  You know how I can get.  I was so sad that you had to go back to CA.  It seems harder and harder to say goodbye to you.  Maybe it is because Little One is so "stinkin' cute", or that I am just not sure when I will get to see you again now that I live even farther away.  I just needed time to be sad.

C is driving us home as I write.  Man I love that I can be blogging on a normally miserable 5 hour trip.  It is totally helping the time fly.  So the other day Mama T brought a cake into work for a special treat and MAN was it good so I asked her for the recipe to which she gladly emailed me right away.  The next time you are in charge of treats for something you should take this.  I don't know if it was the walnuts or what but it almost reminded me of our fav poppy seed bread.  Oh and did I mention it is SUPER easy.  So the name Mama T didn't have a name for it so I made one up.  You know how in our family our favorite game is "Guess the Secret Ingredient".  Well this cake hides the pineapple so well that most people couldn't figure out what was in it so I have given it the Secret Ingredient Cake name.  I can't wait to make this for M&M I think it just might stump them.

Secret Ingredient Cake2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 can crushed pineapple
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 cup crushed walnuts

Mix all the ingredients together.  Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and at bake 350° for 40-45min.  Frost with cream cheese icing when cooled.

Hope you enjoy!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the skirt you made for Quinnie and the tie shirts for the boys were amazing.  You are so crafty!  I had so much fun with your family.  Can't wait till we can party again!
