Pineapple Pancakes & Grilled Pineapple

I received a delicious gift this past weekend, can you guess what it is?  

It's pretty obvious isn't it? 

Pineapple Pancake mix from Hawaii.  

I couldn't wait to make these pancakes.  They taste so good especially when you add a side of real grilled pineapples.  I know!  Who would've thought of grilled pineapples?  But they are delicious!

You may grill them as you wish using fresh pineapples. 

Grate some zest and set aside.

Make sure the grill's heat is on medium/low.

Peel your pineapple, then slice, vertically or horizontally; avoid the core.

Sprinkle your pineapple slices with some sugar, some zest and fresh cracked black pepper.

(The pepper will bring out the grilled flavor and add spice to it)

Place your pineapple slices on the grill.

Cook for about a minute and brush marmalade if desired

on the cooked side, then flip over and cook for another minute. 

 Don't over cook, it'll fall apart or get mushy.

Voila done! 

This also goes great with ice-cream.

A Day Gardening

Oh look!  I got my camera back, yay! 

I spy with my little eyes a turtle in the sky.

Whoopee! My roses are back! I love them and their fragrances are divine.

Today was gorgeous, the sky was clear, a gentle breeze cooled our faces and the sun was radiant.  A perfect day for gardening.

 I removed weeds around the beds, and I have more to pull out, they are so stubborn.

  I planted more flowers, peppers and tea roses.  I mixed organic matter in the soil and layered the top portion with garden soil hoping it will strengthen the root system of these new plants. 

 As I pulled weeds, my little garden helper, re-planted them in small plastic containers.  He was so proud of his handy work.

With so much work in the garden, it was making us quite warm.

 My little guy took his warm clothes off and came out to the yard in his swim trunks.  We splashed a bit while the plants were getting watered and enjoyed every moment.

Are you planting anything this spring?
