Dump Cake

So apparently I've never posted the recipe for Dump Cake. I am hosting some friends for a birthday festivity on Saturday, and since I'm a busy bee, I was concerned I would not have time to make a cake. Plus, dump cake is fantastic, everyone loves it, and apparently I can make it in my slow cooker. And if I put it in the slow cooker, it will be warm and delicious when we do eat it.
Dump cake is so called because you dump the ingredients into the pan.
Ingredients:

• 1 can crushed pineapple
• 1 can/bottle maraschino or other cherries (supposedly cherry pie filling works too)
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• Spray
  

Equipment:

• Slow cooker or 9x13 pan.
  
• Pyrex measuring cup

Procedure:

1. Spray inside of slow cooker or pan
   
2. Dump in pineapple and cherries (distribute evenly, do not mix).
   
3. Dump box of cake mix on top (maybe for slow cooker)
   
4. Melt butter in microwave
5. Pour butter on top
6. Cook in slow cooker for 3-6 hours or until delicious; cook in 350 oven for 20-30 minutes or until delicious.
   

Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers With Garlic and Cilantro Drizzle

I found this recipe in my Fitness Magazine and got so excited I almost fell off the elliptical.
Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
• 1/2 pineapple, peeled, halved, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 24 pieces)
• 2 red bell peppers, seeded and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch squares (about 24 pcs)
• 6 tbs extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 1 1/2 tbs fresh lime juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 tbs minced fresh cilantro
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Equipment:

• Grill (medium-hot fire)
  
• 8 skewers - if wood, soak in water for 15 minutes, then drain
• small bowl
• Baking sheet
  

Procedure:

1. Thread shrimp, pepper, and pineapple onto skewers. Lay on baking sheet.
   
2. Brush with olive oil (I'm going to try using spray).
   
3. Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, sugar, and pepper, set aside.
   
4. Grill kebabs (the recipe suggests creating a foil strip and putting the skewers with the exposed end over the foil strip, to prevent them from lighting on fire), approx. 3 min on each side
