We just got back from Jamaica and ate some incredible local food, including pineapple chicken. I decided to try it for friends last week and made it again today with amazing results both times. The sauce is amazing and so easy. This time I added some unsweetened medium coconut to the breadcrumbs. It made the dish! My guy loved it and couldn't stop thanking me for dinner! Definitely a keeper for the recipe box. Oh and adding cucumber as well turned out nice and crunchy. This recipe is endless for options.

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy".
I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
