Individual Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

2-20 oz. cans of pineapple slices or chunks
1/3 cup of melted butter
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 yellow cake mix

Drain pineapple slices, reserving juice. Grease well 24 muffin cups. Stir butter and brown sugar together and spoon the mixture evenly into the bottom of the muffin cups. Place the pinapple over the sugar mixture. Prepare cake mix according to the package directions, replacing water with reserved pineapple juice. Pour batter evenly into the cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and then invert onto cooling rack to cool further.

**These are really good! Great for parties because you don't have to have forks! Enjoy!

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
