Tucanos Pineapple

Tucanos Pineapple
The second most popular recipe

What a great way to cook pineapple and in such a simple recipe, too. Good desserts do not have to be complex cakes cookies or candies. Some are just simple fruit with a sweet glaze. The particular pineapple was peeled and cored right in front of us in the grocery store, so we knew it would have the ultimate in fresh flavor. The addition of lemon juice to the glaze adds a bright flavor.
Ingredients:
  • One half pineapple, cut into long spears
  • 1 TBPS butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tsp. cinnamon, in all
  • lemon juice

Fire up the grill to medium heat. Before putting the pinapple down, sprinkle the spears with half of the cinnamon and a little bit of brown sugar. This will facilitate a sweetness and instant carmelization when they hit the grill.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar and the rest of the cinnamon. Heat until bubbly and the sugar is properly melted.
Grill the pineapple spears over direct heat about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occaisionally. Each time it turns, baste with a brush of glaze. When finished, plate up and drizzle a final amount of glaze on top.

Meatball Subs

I made this up...

Take a hogie bread and spread it with butter. Sprinkle garlic salt and basil on top. Broil until crispy. Then take frozen meatballs (amount depending on size of bun) and warm them. Mix with just a little warmed marinara sauce. Put on toasted bun and top with pepperjack cheese. Broil again until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Taco Soup

1 can undrained kidney beans
2-3 TBS. taco seasoning, to taste
Tortilla chips

Brown ground beef and onions together. Drain well. Put remaining ingredients in a pot. Add onion and beef. Simmer 15 minutes. Add water if needed.
This is very easy! You can crunch up tortilla chips and put in the soup or scoop up the soup with the chips.
