This Is Us

  Another one of our favorite things to grill is BBQ chicken and pineapple.  Ingredients: 2 or 3 - boneless skinless chicken breasts BBQ Sauce 1 whole pineapple First you cut the chicken into chunks, then put into a ziplock bag. Then pour in the BBQ sauce (we use sweet baby ray’s) so that the chicken is completely covered. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but 4 hours (or more) is best! The longer it marinates the more flavor it will have. Once it’s marinated for as long as you want cut up the pineapple in chunks. Then use skewers and alternate the chicken and the pineapple. Place on a preheated grill and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°. Serve with your favorite BBQ sides: salad, pasta salad, chips, etc. Enjoy! The chicken is delicious, the pineapple is sweeter, and they taste so good together! Sometimes we even add bacon to the kabobs! We bought the skewers from Target! Aren’t they adorable?

  This holiday, as with most things this year, was different. We couldn’t go anywhere due to a kid in one of our kid’s classes getting COVID, and our kid having to be quarantined until the 11th. So we tried to make it a special one. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, boiled corn, made bacon ranch pasta salad, had raspberry parfait and chips. We also bought everyone their very own little tub of ice cream. Everyone was so excited! While we ate our ice cream, we watched The One and Only Ivan It wasn’t our normal thing we do, but it was fun and we enjoyed our time together! Nick, Lydia, and Tyler has fun with the Lay’s chip bag...
