Dinner at Home, A Novel Idea

I cooked this evening. We've eaten out the last three evenings in a row, so now that I can finally stand in one place for more than five minutes without wanting to cry from the pain, I thought I'd actually make dinner for my sweet husband.

I didn't do anything too intense or difficult. Heck, the coconut chicken came breaded and ready for the oven (thank you, HEB). But I did grill the pineapple myself. Simple as this...

I mixed 1/4 cup of honey and about a teaspoon of cinnamon while the George Foreman grill was heating up to 300 degrees. I sliced a fresh pineapple in rings about 1/2 an inch thick and laid them on the grill. Then drizzled the slices with the honey mixture and grilled the pineapple for about six minutes. (The little recipe book that came with "the George" said three minutes, but that just wasn't enough.)

Now if we had only whipped up some Piña Coladas to go with our dinner, we could have pretended we were on a beach somewhere!!!
