OK, so this is actually a recipe I got from Weight Watchers years ago. I don't have a picture to share since I didn't actually make it this week but I've been talking about it to some of my MOPS friends who are currently on Weight Watchers. Any way, this cake is yummy!
Pineapple Angel Food Cake
1 Box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple with juice
Mix angel food cake mix and pineapple together (pineapple and juice replace the ingredients called for on the box). Pour into ungreased 13x9 pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 350. Let cool and enjoy!
WW Info: 3 pts for 1/12 of cake.
This is my recipe, check out what other mom's are making.

Just an update
For those of you who follow, subscribe or otherwise happen upon my lowly blog, I figure I owe you an update, explanation something telling you why I've been a little MIA lately. Well, we've been sick. I've had that awful thing going around South Jersey where you get a fever, then your sinuses kill you and finally you have a cough that never goes away. I'm at the cough stage now, but the fever stage which for most people seemed to only be for a couple of days, had me in it's clutches for over a week. I've missed church for the last 2 weeks, and I had finally found one that was good for my son and me, my hubby will go wherever I'm happy since I'm the one that wants to go to church as a family.
My son is the only one who hasn't really gotten sick. I'm not sure if it's because we medicate him for his asthma or what. Since my hubby got a flu shot as well, it wasn't that that helped him stay healthy.
School for my son has gotten better, not sure if it's because he is starting to care about what his schoolmates think or what we've been telling him for 6 months ad nauseum has finally sunk in or maybe it's just that since he no longer has tonsils or adenoids he can get a good night's sleep and now has energy throughout the day and doesn't run around like a nut to stay awake.
Anyway, we had a great teaser of good weather yesterday and today it's rainy and cold, well I guess chilly would really be what today is. I so can't wait for warm weather and park visits and for the swim club to open up so we can spend lazy days by the pool.
I also have determined that once you hit the wonderful age of 40, which I hit the end of October, you really do go downhill. I went to the eye doctor yesterday and found out I needed bifocals. Now, to be fair I could have gotten away with not getting them right away, but it was recommended since she figures that by the end of the year I will really need them. I only need them for important things like threading a needle, detailed work, probably scrapbooking since I usually do my pages from really close up. She also recommended I get a couple of pairs of reading glasses for when I'm wearing my contacts, but my prescription is the lowest they make so it's the most difficult to find. Well, I guess I can have my Mom look in FL too since maybe with so many retirees there they may have more of a selection.
Anyway, hopefully next week I'll be back to normal and I'll post some recipes, I know I'll be tackling rescreening some screens this week so I already have that for my Tackle It Tuesday. Enjoy the rest of your week, I promise to be back soon.

My son's prayer this morning
Ok, so every morning before I take my son to school, we pray together. Well this morning while I was in the shower, he put 3 of his Lego droids into his Disney World "Light Saber", you know, those flashlights with the telescoping tube on top. So when I got done my part, praying for God to guide him in how to be good and obedient, he prayed "Thank you God for the house and thank you for our food and thank you for not telling me that my droid would get stuck in my light saber". Well, I'm not sure if that's him taking responsibility or thinking that God tells him all the right things, but it was rather cute.

Tackle it Tuesday #17 - Laundry
Laundry, it's the bane of every Mom's existence, well actually, I don't mind doing laundry, but, well it's not always easy to find the time especially since the the past 3 weeks have been hectic, between my son's tonsillectomy, getting him back to school, a weekend with my hubby in Vt that had my son & I running around and the past few days with me being sick, my laundry is, well, taking over the basement. So, today, I will be tackling my laundry before it tackles me, and taking my son for a much needed haircut.
This is what I'm tackling let us know what you're tackling and check out what other Mom's are tackling at 5 Minutes for Mom.
