Foodie Friday: Island Style ~ Cooking & Serving With Pineapple

{ Via: Chrissy Lau }

Today's post is all about the taste of the tropics. My goal is to transport you to a tropical island with just one bite. The pineapple stands tall as the symbol of hospitality and friendship. Because we are friends, I share these juicy recipes for tropical treats like Grilled Pineapple Nachos, Teriyaki Shrimp Burgers, Rum Soaked Pineapple Tidbits, and much more. Get ready to cook, island style.

HERE: 27 Juicy Recipes & Cooks Tools

Pineapple Mango Lemonade
Is there anything more Summery than lemonade? I think not. This recipe is for those of you who like a semi-homemade recipe. Very easy to do.

Snapper and Pineapple Cerviche
Doesn't this sound good for a hot Summer day? Use lots of fresh citrus and only the freshest snapper. Then serve with homemade tortilla chips and cold cerveza.

Char Grilled Pineapple Wedges With Chilli Salt
Simple, sweet, and salty. Sounds like a plan.

Holiday In The Sun Cookie Cutter Set
These Ann Clark Cookie Cutters will give your tropical treats vacation vibes all year long.

Pineapple Mousse With Ham & Breadsticks
Here's a sophisticated starter that's a surprise for the tastebuds. "The sweet and creamy mousse plays an unexpected duo with savory prosciutto, while breadsticks add the necessary crunchiness." Interesting!

Easy Pineapple Salsa
I often make a pineapple salsa. It is great on any pork dish, seafood, and of course tacos! This recipe really needs no accompaniment. It stands on its' own, as a Summer snack.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
This was one of my Mom's specialties, and I make a good one, as well. What I like best about this recipe is the indented pan used to make it.

Stainless-Steel Pineapple Slicer & Dicer
Don't be intimidated by a prickly pineapple. This handy little tool will, slice, dice, peel, and core in two simple steps.

Piña Colada
I simply had to include a recipe for the quintessential tiki cocktail. I chose this recipe because it is made from all fresh ingredients. Añejo rum gives it a depth of flavor. Doesn't it make you want to be on an island now?

Coconut Shrimp Tacos
In my view, Coconut Shrimp is a dish worth the cals and shame! Stuff them in a tortilla, top with mango and pineapple, then drizzle with cilantro coconut sauce.  Sounds like heaven.

Toasted Pineapple Marshmallows
End a special alfresco night with these! Your guests will be so impressed.

Grilled Pineapple Nachos
What a pretty platter, right? Some of the color comes from watermelon radishes which are just a delight, anyway you use them. These sound insanely delish!

Melamine Pineapple Plates
The perfect plate for unbreakable tropical style. Now on sale at..

p
Hawaiian BBQ Dog with Mango, Chili, Pineapple and Lime Relish
Fact: Mr. Shop This is Hot Dog obsessed. If I had to guess, they might be his "last meal" request. I on the other hand, can't remember when I last ate one. This recipe even tempts me!

Pineapple Table Linens
Cheery pineapples for picnics or patios. Choose your type of table linen. They are all made from 100% recycled materials and non toxic inks.

Planas Rum & Pineapple Tidbits
A boozy fruit recipe that is made for pina colada lovers. Serve it as an appetizer or dessert.

Teriyaki Shrimp Burgers With Grilled Pineapple Salsa, Bacon And Blue Cheese
Put a fork in me. I'm done. It features all of the tropical flavors plus sweet, salty and spicy.

With a crust of almond meal, this recipe has all of the tropical ingredients and feels.

Pineapple Pulled Pork Pizza with Bacon, Jalapeños, & Cilantro
This brings me back to my college days, when a roommate wanted pineapple on her delivery pizza. I had never heard of such a thing, but it was good. I am sure that this would be better...much better!

Vegan Turmeric Pineapple Tofu Kabobs
Grill these up at your next barbecue for the vegans in your life.  Even carnivores will love them. This is happening on my grill this weekend!

Pineapple Margarita with a Coconut Popsicle Garnish
This recipe amps up the average margarita, big time. With just four ingredients, it is easy, yet very special. Have a Summer barbecue and make this chic cocktail your signature house drink.

A fuss free dessert that is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.

Copper Pineapple Barware
Serve your guests their tropical beverages in one of these chic copper containers.

Foodie Friday: The Berry Best Berry Recipes


One of Mother Nature's best gifts to us all are the fruits of Summer. Not only are they best in the warmer months, they finally become affordable (though I am still waiting for the prices to come down in Chicago.) Fresh juicy berries are a treasure. I've rounded up some of the best berry recipes around.  Think sweet, savory, and over the top!

Explore the new Cerise Collection at LeCreuset.com!

HERE: 21 Recipes & Cooks Tools

Strawberry Pimms Cups
This is Summer in a glass. Oh how pretty. I think that I will run straight to the store now to pick up some Pimm's!

Berries Letterpress Coasters 
Raise your drink and rest your glass! These chic coasters make cocktail hour a little bit more delicious! Cheers.

Strawberry Ripple Almond Cheesecake
Made with Almond milk, this is a very unique recipe. The base of the cake is made from raw almonds, coconut, and dates. It's made with strawberries, but you can easily interchange any kind of berry.

Blueberry Quinoa Salad
I have only had Quinoa once. I didn't care for the way it was prepared, and just haven't tried it again. This beautiful salad may just be the 2nd time for me. I mean, balsamic, hazelnuts and blueberries would make anything taste good!

Mixed Berry Ceviche
What an unexpected but delicious compliment to sweet shrimp. Sounds yummy!

Berry Breakfast Towel
Add a little country charm to your Summer kitchen. These make a lovely hostess gift, too.

Strawberry Shortbread
Move over shortcake, there's a new cookie in town. This recipe is from Marco Pierre White's Great British Feast 

Peach + Raspberry Pie With White Chocolate Mascarpone
This recipe calls for something called "Golden Syrup." It's English and is said to taste like liquid toffee. OMG, right? I found some for you at Amazon. This beautiful recipe can be found at

Strawberry Vodka
With zero artificial colors or flavors, this recipe features pure strawberry sweetness. A genius idea for Summer.

Blackberry And Lemon Zest Crostini
This is one juicy little blackberry bite! Served on slices of toasted baguettes (I grill mine) and drizzled with honey, these couldn't be easier. Just add prosecco and a patio!

Meyer Lemon Eton Mess
A classic English dessert featuring whipped cream, crushed meringues, and berries. In this version, homemade lemon curd has been folded into the cream for a heavenly dish!
Goop 

Strawberry Margarita
This twist on the classic gets its berry blush from fresh strawberry puree. I love this recipe!

Strawberry Caprese Salad
Caprese Salad is one of my favorite Summertime treats, until I found this recipe. Oh my, doesn't this look fabulous? Balsamic on strawberries is always a taste sensation. Why not add cheese?

Wild Blackberry Bread
This recipe reminds me of my childhood. My Mom often made homemade breads from fresh berries and veggies. Doesn't this just beg for a glass of lemonade or ice tea?

Strawberry Shortcake Donut Trifle
Get ready for oohs and ahhhs when serving this decadent dish. Best yet, it is easy to make and there is no baking involved. This one just makes me smile.

Baby Back Ribs With Blueberry Balsamic Barbecue Sauce
I haven't tried it, but I just know that this recipe is fab. I always use both balsamic and some kind of fruit in my my homemade sauce. Nothing is better than adding sweet to a savory dish.

Gianna Dish
Here's your sweet spot. It's clearly chic and perfect for  candy, mints, ice or fruit. 

Strawberry-Rhubarb Galette
Summer in a skillet! This version of a classic can be baked in the oven or even on the outdoor grill with the lid down. Unfussy with a no fail crust.

Berries and Cream French Toast Bake
Because a well balanced breakfast should include a healthy dose of powdered sugar and the perfect plop of whipped cream!

Strawberry Focaccia With Maple Balsamic Onions
What a fabulous appetizer for Summer! This boldly flavored recipe is a great use for not too sweet strawberries. A must try recipe.

Raspberry Red Wine Slushy With Chocolate Whipped Cream
Isn't everything more fun with whipped cream? If you are wondering what makes this wine slushy, it's frozen raspberries.  Looks like dessert to me!
