After buying some really delicious “golden” pineapples and I wanted to make something special out of it. Grilling really brings out the sweetness in the pineapple, and sauce is very good and easy to make. I bet it would be good on ice cream or even made into a butter free version.
Lightly spray a grill pan and heat until hot. Place pineapple slices on the grill and allow to cook 3-4 minutes on each side. When it is time to flip, you should see caramelized grill marks on the slice. If not, cook it a little longer. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the butter, rum and sugar to almost a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until it is slightly thick and can coat the back of a spoon. Whisk occasionally to insure that it doesn’t separate. Serve warm.

They are just filled with all sorts of things that good for you: carrots, whole wheat flour, and applesauce replaces much of the oil.These are the sort of muffin you can feel virtuous eating.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour or line 20 wells in a muffin tin. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, carrots, ginger, allspice, cloves, sugar and mace. In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, oil, applesauce and vanilla.
Pour into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full and bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the center muffin comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

My mom came up with this recipe for her Christmas party she is hosting. Pinwheel Cookies are pretty easy to make but the dough is really soft. My mom ended up having to refrigerate it in between each step and it was still tricky to roll the two dough’s together without ripping. It wasn’t a difficult cookie to make but we were left with a lot of “down time” waiting for the dough to cool down between each step. All in all, they turned out very well, not too difficult and very chocolatey. 🙂 Photo by: *Coconut & Lime*
WARNING: this needs to be done the day before you want to bake the cookies.
In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, combine thoroughly. Remove half the dough to medium bowl. Add cocoa and melted butter to remaining dough. Mix thoroughly. Divide the dough in half. Divide the vanilla dough in half as well. You should now have 4 sets of dough, two vanilla and two chocolate. Dough should be firm. If not, refrigerate 1/2- 1 hour until firm. Sandwiched between 2 pieces of wax paper, roll one portion vanilla dough into 8-inch square. Repeat procedure with one portion chocolate dough. If the dough is warm and soft, you may need to chill it again at this point. Remove top sheets of wax paper; invert vanilla dough onto chocolate dough. Remove the top sheet of wax paper. Roll carefully. Wrap in wax paper. Repeat procedure with remaining dough. Refrigerate over night.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch slices; place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 6-7 minutes or until just set. Careful, the cookies do not brown on top and it is difficult to visually tell if they are done. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
