This time of year, cherries are fresh, sweet, and delicious (and on sale!). Pick up a couple of bags the next time you are at the grocery store – one for snacking and one for baking.
Vicki combined two cherry pie recipes to come up with this sweet and tart, and oh so yummy, recipe. We recommend using a pre-made crust.
This cake comes together quickly and tastes delicious!

This appetizer can be as spicy as you want – it all depends on the level of heat in the salsa you use.
Credit for this outstanding dish goes to Vicki’s Australian friend, Paula, who is an awesome cook. It has been served at many a simple celebration.

This rub will add great flavor to the pork!
During our recent vacation with friends and family, one night we had grilled pineapple as part of the dinner. It was so popular, that any time a person would go to the store, they picked up another pineapple – resulting in three dinners with a side of grilled pineapple. One of our friends even had the left overs for breakfast! Take Vicki’s advice when she says, “the secret is to have a very big, sharp knife.” This was said after she almost lost a finger to a dull knife.
Pick up one ripe, whole pineapple. Give it the sniff test – you should be able to smell the pineapple’s aroma.
Cut the pineapple into 8 equal sections, keeping skin and top intact. Oil the grill. Grill pineapple on both sides until you see obvious grill marks (10-15 minutes). You won’t taste anything sweeter. Goes great with any simple celebration of chicken, shrimp or pork, and don’t forget to serve it along with our fabulous fish tacos!
]]>The way to make these tacos fabulous is to use the freshest fish available. We used Wahoo while in the Bahamas recently, but any thick, white fish will do such as Grouper or Mahi-Mahi. The beauty of these tacos is that all three parts of the recipe use a lot of the same ingredients which cuts down on your shopping list and almost everything can be made in advance of your simple celebration. The fish can be grilled before your guests arrive and kept warm in a warming tray or low oven. Assemble just before eating……
