Memorial Day 2016

Have a blessed day..
                                    Happy Memorial Day..

    Giving  thanks to the men and women who  have served our 
    Country to keep us safe. And the many lives that have been lost
    for our freedom. May we never forget them.

    Pray you and your family have had a wonderful day.
    We two , had a quiet [working] kinda day..We worked in the             garden and flower beds.. But, we  did celebrate, in the 
    afternoon.


    Menu:
    Steak [on the grill]
    Baked  Potato
    Salad
    Sister shubert Rolls
   Blue berry /Pineapple Crunch

The desert was wonderful.. Thought I would share this recipe 
with you.. I got it from our local newspaper years ago.. So, do 
not know, who to give credit to..Forget about the dieting today..smile.

Blueberry/Pineapple Crunch

1 [20 oz] can crushed pineapple[do not drain]
3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
1 cup pecans chopped
Butter a 11 x 14 in pan. put pineapple [and juice] in it. then the blueberries. Sprinkle half the sugar on top of this. Pour dry cake mix on top.  Then drizzle  melted butter over this. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar and pecans. Do not stir!!  Bake at 350 degrees for  45minutes.

This is really good warm with vanilla ice cream  on it.. But taste equally good the next day when cold.

NOTE: I halved this recipe , since it was just the 2 of us. I used a 
7 x 9 in pan..
