Wow – it’s mid-July already. Where has the year gone?  I saw that Aldi’s had grapes on sale – I think I’m going to get some and freeze them; they taste delicious that way!  Take a look at what’s on sale this week and make sure to menu plan.  Here are some ideas to get you started!

Main Dishes

  • Oven Baked Barbeque Chicken Thighs – Looks easy and makes great use of the thighs on sale this week.
  • Spaghetti Pie – Speaking of pasta being on sale, try this Spaghetti Pie.  I’ve heard of people adding pepperoni to it and calling it pizza pie!
  • Pull Apart Pizza Bread – So easy and looks yummy.  I bet kids would get a kick of tearing of a piece for dinner!
  • Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo – With pasta on sale, this would be a good week to try a new recipe. This one claims to be like Olive Garden’s version, which is very tasty!
  • Chicken Enchiladas – I just made a batch of these for my freezer since they freeze so well!

I was in my mid-20s before I had ever heard of “Dump Cake”.  The gal who was telling me about it was shocked that I didn’t know.  So she let me in on the secret.  Just in case you hadn’t heard of it, here’s the recipe!

It couldn’t be simpler – just a few ingredients dumped into a 9×13 pan and baked.  Really, it doesn’t get any easier!

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake

Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 ounces) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 (21 ounces) can prepared cherry pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 sticks of butter, each cut into 12 slices

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325 for glass baking dish). Grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Dump undrained pineapple into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • Using a spoon, dump globs of cherry pie filling on top of the pineapple.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the cherry and pineapple layers.
  • Cut butter into slices with a butter knife and place slices evenly over cake mix.
  • Bake for one hour.
  • To serve, scoop cake out with a large spoon like a cobbler, and dump it on a nice plate. A scoop of vanilla ice cream dumped on top is delicious! Serve warm or cold.
