I love my Dole pineapple. It's an addiction. I've been known to open up a can and just dig in with a fork. I love to add my pineapple as a topping on pizza, and in recipes like my BBQ Sweet Chicken I posted awhile ago.

I follow!
Beet, Fennel and Mandarin Orange Salad. Thanks!
I can think of two recipes off the top of my head that are great with pineapples. One is dump cake...mmmmm and the other is what my family and I call green goo. It's pineapple, green jello, cool whip, cream cheese and marsh mellows. There may be more to it but that's what I can think of off the top of my head. It's so yummy! Okay typing this has made me want to make one of those two. =)

The old saying is true: You are what you eat. We are a bunch of fruits! We have always loved fruit, from the regular to the exotic. If we aren’t experimenting with the exotic, we’re chowing down on the regular…and our regular is Dole. One thing we always do is incorporate Dole fruits into at least two snacks/meals per day. We put Dole pineapple on our homemade pizza and in our various attempts at Chinese food. We make an awesome dessert pizza with a mixture of fresh fruits and delicious Dole mandarin oranges. The oranges top off numerous salads, as well. Sometimes, we’re just gross and we dump whichever fruit we crave in a bowl…and eat each piece WITH OUR FINGERS! I know. Improper…but what do you expect from a bunch of fruits?
