And may the dessert recipes just keep coming. Between Kent’s fascination with Facebook Videos and my desire to keep testing my limits we may never run out of deliciousness to share.  Grilled Pineapple who knew it would be so decadent when grilled.  Ironically it’s not something I ever thought about until I went to a Brazilian Steakhouse in Miami.  Grilling pineapple creates a sweet dessert that will have you coming back for more. Last week we tried a Grilled Pineapple and Buttered Rum Sauce for a tasty new dessert.

Grilled Pineapple on the Que

Summer time is grilling season and we do love our que. Funny thing though, with the exception of BBQ donuts I or we have never experimented with a dessert.  Well that my dear peeps is going to change.  Kent decided he needed to try this sweet Grilled Pineapple dish and wowser.  Not a heavy dessert but perfect for the warm summer evenings.

Grilling accentuates the sweet in the pineapple and then adding a rich sauce and ice-cream. Well come on we all scream for ice cream right? I swear I will never hear the bells on an ice cream truck ring without thinking of this gooey dessert.
