a yummy pineapple month ahead!
yes I hope!
I just bought asparagus at the market yesterday! Those cute little sandwiches would be a fun way to introduce kids to asparagus (which I hated until I was 40… because it just wasn’t cooked right!)
thanks Jeanie, I love asparagus in just about any way!
Pineapple is a favorite! I can always count on you for beautiful food and fabulous recipes. I am excited that you included my Mama’s lemon cheesecake. It is so good! Happy Sunday, Jenna!
I can’t wait to try the cheesecake Pam, it sounds like heaven!
I love pineapple Jenna, the so refreshing taste to me. Yes, I hope we have beautiful weather ahead after all the cold rain. Seems March came and disappeared with the wind, in a flash! All the recipes sounds so delicious and the pineapple rum cake would be delicious with my coffee. I can’t wait to make your asparagus sandwiches and roasted radishes. Enjoy your Sunday.
Oh good! Yes, yesterday it was like summer and today I have the heat on!
Oh how I look forward to your posts! Delicious recipes and paintings too!
Lemon yumminess and now pineapple! 😊
Aren’t you sweet, thanks Nancy!
We eat a lot of pineapple so I look forward to your recipes for April! 😊 One of my favorite ways to cook it is on the grill. Kind of carmelizes it. I like your pineapple painting too, Jenna! 💗
I love grilled pineapple too, can’t wait to try some of these new ways! Thanks Jill!
Happy Pineapple Month Jenna! Looks like you’ll be eating well, enjoy the nicer weather:@)
I love all of these nice recipes and thanks for sharing them. I like the one with cooking the bacon and veggies on the sheet pan all at once. I will have to try that one.
Have a nice week Jenna.
Hugs, Julie
thanks Julie, it was a delicious supper!
Pineapple is not one of my favorite fruits to eat alone, but I do love it in recipes! Can’t wait to see what all you share for April! Send rain to Texas. I’m afraid we are in for a drought this year. We’ve not had as much rain and that is never a good sign for the summer! Hugs!
Oh no! It’s supposed to rain Thurs-Tuesday, I wish it would go your way! I agree, I love pineapple in things rather than alone, and I love it paired with something savory…
