Roasted Pineapple with Cayenne and Allspice

I found this recipe in a weight watcher cookbook. It was delicious! I have listed the recipe exactly as it appears in the book, but I made a few modifications when I made it. I did not brush oil on the pineapple and I did not measure the spices. I just sprinkled a little bit on each side of the pineapple. I also didn’t have any lime juice so I skipped that part. The pineapple still turned out beautifully! Enjoy!

1 peeled and cored pineapple

1 ½ teaspoons canola oil

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1. Preheat the oven to 500 F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.

2. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into16thin wedges. Lightly brush both sides of each wedge with the oil, sprinkle with the allspice and cayenne.

3. Place the pineapple, curved side down, on the baking sheet. Roasted until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove the pineapple from the oven, increase the oven temperature to broil. Brush the pineapple with the lime juice and broil 5 inches from the heat until lightly browned on the edges, 1-2 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Misty and I are part of a food co-op. This week we got a big bunch of brussel sprouts (yuck!) I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. It was actually pretty good! I exchanged the bacon for turkey bacon and cooked it in a little canola oil before continuing on with the rest of the ingredients. My brussel sprouts may have been a bit larger then usual. It took 25 minutes to cook them until they were soft enough to eat.
