Apple Dump Cake

It's not a poke cake! Can you believe it? Easy breezy delicious potluck item here.

1. Spray bottom of 9x13 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray (I use PAM)
2. Place sliced apples on the bottom of the cake pan (mine were pre-sliced from Costco...even better!)
3. Pour a box of cake mix on top of the apples (Pillsbury was on sale at Wal-Mart)
4. Pour a stick of melted butter on top of the dry cake mix (I only had half a stick in my fridge)
5. Sprinkle with brown sugar (I added this genius step)
6. Bake according to the directions on your box cake mix.

In about an hour, (after prep and baking) you will have a nice little fruity dessert to place a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top of.

Today's quick easy dessert recipe, brought to you by Pinterest. I'm thinking Pinterest and Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker are partners...I've bought more box cake mix since becoming addicted to Pinterest, than I have my whole life. I will be buying yet another box cake mix to repeat this recipe with pears.

This apple dump cake is similar to an apple crisp or apple coffee cake type of goodie. Either way, you can't go wrong with butter, apples, and brown sugar...and cake mix! Cake mix is the new black.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
