  1. Luscious, sweet, sour, creamy, tangy and smooooth. Wonderful way to gild the lily. I think this works well as a salad or as dessert. If goat cheese were unavailable, I'd substitute cream cheese or something with a smooth, fluffy/dense texture. Dh wondered how much trouble it would be to make himself another serving. I told him nothing to it, very simple. Thanks, CountryLady.
     
  2. So many flavors your tongue will love you for this recipe. Your mouth explodes from the pineapple and vinegar then the goat cheese and sugar mellows it out. So good! My DH and I ate two the day I made them using Honeyed Wine vinegar recipe #65708. The next day I heated the other two on a hot grill just to get the grill marks on both sides which was enough to be warmed through.
     
  3. Nice variation to serving fresh pineapple. Didn't have any goat cheese so used feta. Served with some grilled salmon.
     
  4. Excellent interesting recipe! Tried it with goat cheese crumbles with basil and it was great! Next time putting it over arugula as a salad
     
  5. I would never have thought of combining these ingredients but what a treat. This will be a keeper for us.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
