This is a wonderful tropical tasting dish actually we had in Hawaii on a trip we took back in 2003.
The pineapple and peppers along with this amazing marinade for these boneless pork chops are drool-worthy.
You won't be able to wait when you smell them cooking to eat them.
Grilled pork is wonderful, but even if you have to cook them indoors, they're still fantastic, just use a grided cast iron skillet.
Pineapple with that little bit of sweetness gives you the taste of the tropical island flair.
I just love this recipe for this grilled Hawaiian pork chops and it sure reminds me of our fabulous fun times in Hawaii.
I recreated it best I could and it really is almost exactly what we remembered!
It sure gives me a nice feeling to have that taste etched in my mind of those beautiful memories of Maui, and hope you enjoy this easy delicious way to cook pork chops on the grill.

We just love cabbage rolls, but when I started out cooking, I never wanted to try them, they look way too complicated.
One day I met an elderly wonderful lady named Amelia, that taught me this trick and it's now over 30 years and making them often without feeling stuffing cabbage was a long and tedious chore!
This tip will let you make them often in no time!
Not going to give you that secret yet though, check out my recipe card at the end to print this off.

One of the best meals my family loves is Chicken Parmesan.
These are tender cutlets with sauce and tons of melted cheese, so simple to make, and always asked for on my oldest son Chad's birthday every year.
There is so much controversy where Chicken Parm originated.
Here are some fun facts to ponder.
Chicken Parmesan started way back with Eggplant Parmigiana in Campania and Sicily in Italy.
You deep fry the eggplant and then add cheese and tomato sauce and viola, eggplant parmesan was born.
A much less expensive version that started out in Italy back in the old days, when families stretch their budgets and meat was hard to afford.
Baked to perfection, the eggplant even became a famous hoagie.
At some points, cooks in North America, and other regions of the world with large Italian immigrant populations realized that chicken would be an excellent alternative to the eggplant and Chicken Parmigiana was born.
In America, the dish became popular around 1958, and the “New York Times” first featured a recipe in 1962.
This dish continues to be one of my families favorite.
The Italian sauce, mozzarella melted over a delicious fried chicken cutlet is divine and leftovers are great too.
This is certainly a true classic Italian American dish.
This is the way mom made it. Served with angel hair pasta on the side.

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!

If love eggplant rollatini, this is a copycat version using fresh thinly sliced zucchini and very similar to that dish.
This is an easier method and my version and results are fabulous substituting zucchini for eggplant.
I love making these roll-ups into roses instead of filling and rolling it's so much easier.
The zucchini roses are filled with ricotta cheese, topped with even more cheese that makes this a mouthwatering side dish for any meal.
This is the perfect casserole all summer long for any picnic or backyard events.
The sauce can be freshly made marinara or any store-bought.
Zucchini is a delicious Italian style squash that can be transformed into a gourmet meal all in one dish.
Baked until the mozzarella cheese has a golden browned crust on top makes this over the top delicious.
There is step by step easy to follow instructions, don't miss trying this out.
