Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

What I Planned...

...I planned to share something pretty fantastic with you today. A moist, summery, yummy pineapple cake bar topped with silky coconut frosting.

Doesn't that sound like something you'd want to wake up to on Monday morning?

Me too.

Unfortunately, I had written up most of the recipe to share on the blog before I left for Aruba on Sunday morning. As I went to finish the post (from my hotel room in Aruba), I realized that I never wrote down the recipe for the cake itself. I had adapted it from America's Test Kitchen and the original version is sitting in a cookbook at home.

#FAIL

I don't want to mess around with you. I don't want to write up the wrong thing. So unfortunately, you will have to wait until next week when I get myself together can work on typing up the recipe with my tweaks.

I'm sorry. Please don't be mad.

Check out some eye candy instead...

I'll be doing this for most of today:

...in between reading my Kindle, napping on a beach chair and laying on a float in the water.

 

Also...head on over to The Sunday Sweet to bid on a batch of my Chocolate Glazed Golden Grahams Cookies! It's all for a good cause!!

Psst...if you like what you see here, please check out my other blog that I write with my 2 fab sisters, The Peach & The Pit Of It! Hope to see you over there!

Hey- it happens to us all but at least you were able to have a bite of that yummy cake! it sounds delicious! The pictures though are even better. I wish I were there now. I need another vacation this summer!

I'm not mad, I'm a little glad so I'm not tempted to make it and eat it all myself! The one negative of living alone is having to consume the goodies alone too (and deal with the temptation)!

I looked at those pictures and pretended for a minute that I was there. Instead of at my desk.
