    Grilled Pineapple with Pound Cake and Vanilla Ice cream

    I just love being in the kitchen now that our daughter can finally eat a LOT more foods.  Food allergies are a total pain and I blame all the processed ingredients in our every day lives.  Now that summer is here we are enjoying using the grill.  Have you ever grilled your fruits?

    I mean sure, you’ve grilled vegetables – but what about fruit?!   If you haven’t you’re truly missing out.

    Grilled Pineapple with Pound Cake and Vanilla Ice cream

    I’ll even let you know on a little secret, you don’t need an outdoor grill to do this recipe!  We live in a condo where outdoor grills are prohibited.  So I went to our local Target and picked up a cast iron grill for the stove.  Chris goes crazy for grilled pineapple and bought some so we could grill it up.

    Meanwhile I’ve been testing recipes for our daughter’s birthday cake and I think we’ve created a winner!  I am going to make her a sour cream pound cake filled with beautiful berries and whip cream.  We’re having a Mickey/Minnie Mouse Party – it’s going to be awesome.  We’ll also be grilling outdoors that day which will be nice.

    Since I have so much pound cake from the recipe testing I thought it would pair extremely well with the grilled pineapple, yes.. so good!  A little bit of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and some zest from a lime (or a lemon if you’d like) just hits the spot.  Summer just got a little sweeter with this grilled recipe.

      My daughter has already gobbled up all my pineapple, but I’ll be sure to try this! We have allergies here, but no biggie to whip it up gluten and dairy free style. SUCH a great idea, I never thought of it!
