This will be my go to summer dessert, so simple but delicious!  Just put a slice of fresh pineapple on the grill and grill until soften, sprinkle with a little brown sugar and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel topping.  YUM!

Ribeye Steak Dinner - No Recipe Needed!

As much as I love recipes, once in awhile, I love to make a NO recipe meal.  A ribeye steak dinner served with a baked sweet potato, grilled asparagus and sauteed mushrooms is as easy as it gets.  My husband, Kevin, does the grilling so all I had to do for this meal was put a sweet potato in the oven and saute some mushrooms.  Crumble blue cheese over the steak to take it over the top.  It's nice to go out for a steak now and again but it really doesn't get any better than this.  We poured ourselves a glass of wine and enjoyed every bite.
