Loved the pineapple & carrot combo here, & I was happy to double the amount of cashews! A great way to jazz up carrots! Thanks for a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders cooking game]

There was one major flaw in this recipe, and that was the oregano... it didn't blend well with the other flavors at all and I wish I had omitted it like I usually do. Other then that, it was great, my boyfriend, a huge pineapple fan, especially loved it and it was him going back and finishing the batch - oregano and all - that bumped this recipe back up to five stars, but I will omit next time for my preference.
