Trader Joe's Sparkling Green Tea with Pineapple Juice is a new favorite. I liked the Black Tea with Peach Juice, too. Basically two ingredients -- the tea and the pineapple juice - it's totally refreshing, not super sweet and I will be restocking.

On this fine #NationalIceCreamDay, we're celebrating with the simplest of ice cream treats, short of a scoop. The ice cream float. Sure, you could just go with root beer or Coke, never a bad choice, but Dry Soda Company has expanded their offerings with a new zero sugar soda line, sweetened with erythritol and stevia.…

Pineapple Passion Fruit Glazed Chicken we first made during our trip to Kaua'i in February.
Sometimes the standout in a meal surprises you. I expected the main topic of this post to be the chicken tacos we made using this recipe from the Flying Pig food truck, but what I want to talk about first is pineapple salsa.
