Julian does a great job of keeping me on track with this blog. He’s constantly worried when I don’t post my regular two posts a week, and always makes sure to remind me that I haven’t posted a “Classics” or “Cheers to the Weekend” post in a while. He’ll throw some ideas my way every now and then and sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re a little out there. Much was the case this time around with “The Classics” segment. He wasted no time in telling me that I haven’t posted one in a bit. I think the last time I shared a classics recipe was this Churros with Chocolate Dipping Sauce post. That was last year, so I had to make sure to fix this right away. Since Julian keeps me going, I thought I’d finally make his favorite cake. So I’m dedicating this Pineapple Upside-Down to him. He’s been asking me to make it for a while now and I just kept saying okay, but never actually made it. They say good things come to those who wait, so it’s a good thing for all of us that Julian had to wait an eternity for this cake. It’s really good.
I started the classics segment a while ago, the first one being this Buttermilk Fried Chicken, because I wanted to share simple and straight forward recipes on my blog. I wouldn’t say that my recipes are hard or complicated, but some do involve a bit more time than others. There are certain recipes that we should all know how to make because they’re delicious, dependable, and easy to whip up. Those are the recipes that I want us all to have under our sleeves for when we’re in need of something fast and reliable. Sometimes simple really is best. Let’s keep that in mind moving forward. I think it’s sometimes so easy to forget that, especially in this day and age. Happy Baking!
