Grilled Pineapple Salad

Disclaimer: We have not eaten this . . .yet!

We live near a Central Market grocery store.

We adore this grocery store.

Seriously adore it!

This grocery store makes grocery shopping fun.

I'm not kidding!

I can't even explain the admiration I have for the store!

It's like a maze when you go in . . . you start in the produce area and
weave around to the meat market, then the canned goods -- which I skip this area.

Then . . ..da, da, da, da . . .
the bulk food items!

Everything from candies to dried fruits, to flours and grains, to fresh nut butters to one of our favorites, coffee!

Leave there and meander through the dairy to the bakery . . .

oh, the bakery!

Through the cheese section
to the open olive, pickles, a dips bar, and other glorious items.

Finally, you end up in the cafe . . .which is so amazing too!

Then, you whisk your basket through the floral department to the checkout line . . .

and there you pay for your indulgences!

One thing we love about Central Market is you get to try stuff before you buy it . . .like if you want to try some new funky apple, just find a worker person and they'll slice it up for you right there . . .

Isn't that cool?

And in the bakery too . . .and the cheese department. . . . and the tortillas . . .

Wow! I'm in love with Central Market!

The other day, while spending time there, I saw this recipe card and grabbed it!

My boy cherub has a weakness for pineapple; and can devour a ton of grilled pineapple.

I want to make this for him . . .
and me too!

Grilled Pineapple Salad

1 pineapple, peeled and cored; either 1/2 thick slice it or quarter the pineapple (I'm going to quarter it then chunk it up after grilling)
1 onion, peeled, quartered, brushed with a smidge of canola oil
2 limes, cut in half, brushed with a smidge of canola oil
2 poblano peppers, seeds removed and julienned
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and chopped (or your favorite nut)

Grill the pineapple, onions, and limes until pineapple is caramelized and onions are soft. Remove from the grill and cool.

Rough chop the pineapple and onions.

Toss pineapple, onions, and poblano peppers. Squeeze juice of limes over the salad and sprinkle with the nuts.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
