Grilled Hawaiian Pork Chops

Grilled Hawaiian Pork Chops is a wonderful tropical tasting dish we actually had the pleasure of being served in Hawaii and this is a copycat of those fabulous flavors in this dish.


The pineapple and peppers along with this amazing marinade bring grilling season and boneless pork chops to a drool-worthy level of yumminess.

Grilled pork is wonderful, but even if you have to cook them indoors, they're still fantastic, just use a grided cast iron skillet.

This easy recipe is perfect for a warm day and all the neighbors can smell this cooking in envy.


I recreated it best I could and it really is almost exactly what we remembered!


Of course, if you're not a grilling kind of gal or guy, try this recipe in a cast iron gridded pan on the stovetop or bake in the oven.

Girl Scout Cookie Recipes

Growing up I sold them, as an adult I devour them. Girl Scout cookies were a fun cookie that I personally looked forward to every year.


Not only to support the girls but they're so darn delicious.


Over the years I just couldn't wait any longer and those knockoffs in the supermarket just didn't satisfy my addiction.


My favorite has always been the peanut butter patties, I could eat a whole box and hoard them away as a kid I didn't like to share them with anyone.


In this roundup that is by far my favorite girl scout cookie homemade.


I had to go back in time to some of the retired cookies that are favorites in the family.


The kids love those little powdered sugared coolers, they would eat them like candy!


In between those times when I can't get my cookie fix, I make these recipes.


Hope you find one as you stroll through my roundup that you like.


Some take a little time to do them, but sure worth the efforts, they are all delicious!
