pinapple cakeA box of Angel Food Cake mix (just the contents of the box, no need to follow the directions on the box), and combine it with a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple in its own juice. (No need to use a mixer, just stir it by hand) When you do this, something magical happens. The mixture starts to froth and it turns into an amazingly airy, fluffy bowl of deliciousness right before your eyes. Once it’s all mixed up, simply pour it into a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes

While draining the grease off hamburger run a pizza cutter through it. It makes it fine not chunky. This helps when the hamburger still has chunks in it when you want it fine for taco meat or  to place in a chilli.

To make hamburger a little more healthy remove a lot of the fat. When hamburger is done cooking place in a strainer and run hot water from the tap through it. It helps remove grease and will make the hamburger lighter in texture. It will also take seasoning on better.
