Last week I started what I think will be fun for Friday’s, Free Friday! In other words, whatever goes! Send me in recipe requests, I will make fun recipes that are just fun! I always try for healthy, but as I always say, moderation. I eat healthy but my forever motto is everything in moderation. This does not mean I eat a bag of chips and a gallon of soda, but  we all need variety and a little treat! SI do try to keep it in a healthy ratio. Last week, what has turned out to be a big hit was my extremely favorite, Skinny Pineapple Mango Frozen Margarita with Chili Salt Rim!

Recipe Notes

• When I bring to an occasion or have company, I let cake cool completely on a rack before transferring to a cake platter.
• Wrap tightly if not serving right away with Plastic Wrap
• If serving following day, I wait to add confectioners sugar to right before serving.
• When calculating nutritional facts. I have only included cake ingredients. I have not included the garnish of confectioners sugar or fruit as that is at your discretion to distribute.
• Any nutritional data I provide is an approximation and actually dietary information can vary based on ingredients and proportion sizes.
