Marinated Mushrooms II
These were good but not the best I've ever made. The recipe is simple enough to follow and easy enough to make, and the mushrooms do come out tasting good... btu they're missing something. Don't know if I'd make these again.

Barbequed Pineapple
What a delightfully refreshing dessert for a hot summer's day or a cold winter's night - no matter what the season, this is a flavorful treat. Don't skimp and use canned pineapple, it simply does not come out as well as the real, fresh thing. I added a bit more brown sugar to the marinade so that when I grilled them, they would caramelize a little more, and I kept brushing more of the marinade on as they grilled. If you can marinate them overnight, I suggest doing so because they'll soak up even more of that yummy marinade. Really, a very easy and very tasty way to "spice up" a pineapple into a pleasing dessert.

Cake Balls
What a delightfully easy and incredibly versatile way to shake up a boring cake recipe! I used a German chocolate cake mix and added chopped pecans and flaked coconut to the batter before baking. I then mixed in caramel frosting and dipped them in milk chocolate and drizzled white chocolate over them. I also made a carrot cake mix and added walnuts to the batter before baking, then mixed in cream cheese frosting and dipped in white chocolate. I did take the advice of others and waited about 10 minutes to "scrape" the cake after it was baked and I cut the edges off because they were a little too overcooked and didn't break down as easily. I didn't use the entire container of frosting because I found the consistency to be sticky enough after about 3/4 of the container. I let the cake balls cool to room temperature and then refrigerated them for a couple of hours before dipping them to make them easier to handle. I cannot wait to try new versions of this fun and easy recipe!!!
