Pine Apples

If you are looking for cheap, easy appetizers, this recipe fulfills just that. The grilled bacon with pineapple is a cheap, easy appetizer that anyone can make, and even kids, under some supervision. Eat it at Hawaii-themed parties or have it as an appetizer in a dinner function.

What you will need for this delicious appetizer is really simple. All you will need is some back bacon and some pineapple cubes or rings. It is best if the pineapples were freshly cut, but if you do not have them, you can always get canned pineapples, where you can use the syrup for other purposes. Toothpicks or bamboo satay sticks are optional.

Basically, you will need to slice the bacon to the desired size. Cut them in strips which you will use to wrap around each cube of pineapple, or roll in the middle of the pineapple ring. Then, grill the bacon for about 2 to 3 minutes. Leave it to cool for a while because you will need to use your hands to wrap the pineapples up.

If you are planning to wrap the cubes of pineapple up with the bacon, simply fold the four edges of the bacon in one direction, leaving extra so that you can keep it in hold. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon slice to the pineapple. To make presentation interesting, you can poke them up around the surface of another pineapple fruit that is seated on a stand.

On the other hand, if you are planning to roll the bacon up in the middle of the ring, all you have to do is just that. Keep the roll in one and a half lap so the taste does not overwhelm the taste of the pineapple. You can poke bamboo satay sticks horizontally through the pineapple and bacon, and keep two of these per stick. Serve, and enjoy.

The question really is why paying for exotic spa wrinkle treatments that you can DIY yourself at home?

If you are looking for anti-wrinkle treatments you can do without prescriptions, this article is going to show you one of the recipes I used for anti-wrinkles.

There are so many ideas and homemade recipes for wrinkle removal and Anti-wrinkle products and treatments on the net. Anti-wrinkle injections are also very common, and to turn back the clock many go for surgical face lift mask & anti aging skin care products.

It is also know that some apply coconut oil on the skin and face where wrinkles set in and gently massage every night at bedtime. Others suggest that to use banana as an anti-wrinkle treatment. What they did was basically mash the banana until it is very creamy. Spread the banana "Paste" over the face and leave it for 20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. It was also believe that applying green pineapples juice and apples the face daily and leave for 10-15 minutes works excellent for fine wrinkles and cracked skin.

But the most important thing is still the result of diet. Research has shown that your diet can influence the way you look and feel. A healthy diet can help to delay the advent of aging and wrinkles and is definitely true that a healthy and balanced diet protects your skin from damage and aging.

DIY Anti-Wrinkle Recipe: Use Red tea leaves, brown sugar and flour for Anti-Wrinkle Mask.

First, mix the Red tea leaves and brown sugar together, boil it and wait for it to Cool, add some flour and stir them into paste. Apply over your face for 15 minutes and rinse it with warm water.

Experts pointed out that there are anti-aging ingredients contained in the red tea leaves that help to reduce wrinkles effectively and keep the skin fair and smooth.

My grandson reminded me of this recipe after hounding me for several weeks to make this. You know how it is, I hadn't gotten around to getting all the necessary ingredients since I know he would tell me if something was missing! So my grandson, the resourceful little one, bicycled to the store just up the country road and brought all these ingredients back making sure that I had to make this for him. God bless him, he knows that if you want something bad enough, you can make it happen!

3 boxes of instant vanilla pudding

5 cups of milk

1(8oz.)of sour cream

1 large container of cool whip

1-2 boxes of vanilla wafers

Lots of bananas

Mix the 3 boxes of pudding with the milk, add sour cream and cool whip. Place a layer of wafers & bananas in the large dish - cover with a layer of pudding mix. Continue with wafers, bananas, & pudding. Cover and place in the refrigerator. This is best made night before served. Wafers need to soften.

God bless you: MISS JUDY

I ALSO LIKE TO ADD PINEAPPLES YOU JUST ADD A LAYER OF BANANA AND A LAYER OF PINEAPPLE. THIS IS REALLY GOOD. My grandson still loves it with the original ingredients and he's always telling me, Grandma, you don't go messing up something that's already good, so I'll let you all make that decision. As always, if you have any comments on this recipe or suggestions or just need some help making it work for you, you can let me know at my website and I always answer every question or suggestion.

Lord knows, I don't have all the answers, but I do the best I can and give the best advice I can. If I don't have the answer, I'll let you know that too! You can try this with the Five Flavor Pound Cake recipe and drizzle the banana pudding on top for a really nice surprise for your family too. I did this last Christmas and they all loved it!

For a natural and tasty way to improve your health and boost your healing capacity, add fresh pineapple and pineapple juice to your diet. Pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. This delightful tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which plays a major role in the body's healing process.

Bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory with analgesic properties, encourages healing, promotes well-being and has many other health benefits. Bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. This powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect can also help relieve osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and reduce postoperative swelling. Additionally, bromelain can relieve indigestion. The enzyme contained in fresh pineapple helps break down the amino acid bonds in proteins, which promotes good digestion.

Pine Apples

Pineapples also provide an ample supply of vitamin C, a commonly known antioxidant that protects the body from free radical damage and boosts the immune system. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Collagen is one of the primary building blocks of skin, cartilage and bones. Vitamin C also decreases the severity of colds and infections.

Furthermore, due to its high vitamin C content, pineapples are good for your oral health as well. Recent studies have found that vitamin C can reduce your risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Besides increasing the ability of connective tissue to repair itself, vitamin C also increases the body's ability to fight invading bacteria and other toxins that contribute to gum disease. Periodontal disease, which destroys gum tissue and underlying jaw bones, has been linked to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

So if you are searching for a natural way to enhance your body's healing mechanisms, promote overall good health and tantalize your taste buds, pineapples are the way to go. Choose the fresh fruit because it has the most healing properties. Unfortunately, most of the bromelain in canned pineapple is destroyed due to the heat used in the canning process.

When choosing a fresh pineapple, do not judge ripeness solely based upon color. There are several varieties on the market that range from green to golden yellow. The most important factor in determining ripeness is smell, let your nose help you decide. Ripe pineapples give off a sweet, fresh tropical smell. Avoid pineapples that give off an unpleasant odor or have any soft spots or areas of dark discoloration. Once home, let the pineapple sit on your counter at room temperature until ready to use. This will preserve its sweet and tangy flavor.

To prepare pineapple, you need to peel it, remove the eyes (the thorny protrusions within the puffy squares of the skin) and the fibrous center. One way to do this is to remove the top of the pineapple with a sharp knife. Then cut the pineapple lengthwise into 4 wedges (quarter it) and place each pineapple wedge horizontally on a cutting board. Carefully cut the fruit from the outer skin, and cut out the eyes and fibrous center core.

Another way is to cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, place the pineapple vertically (upright) on a cutting board and carefully slice off the outer skin. With a sharp paring knife or the end if a vegetable peeler, remove the eyes. Don't cut too deep, just enough to lift out the section that contains the eye. Then, slice the pineapple crosswise and remove the fibrous core individually with a cookie cutter.

Once the fruit is prepared, it can be diced and eaten fresh, added to salads and entrees for an exotic flavor, or made into tasty tropical drinks and smoothies.

To get you started, try Monique N. Gilbert's delicious, nutritious, cholesterol-free smoothie recipe. It's high in bromelain, vitamin C, beta carotene, potassium, thiamin (vitamin B-1), riboflavin (vitamin B-2), iron, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and soy isoflavones.

This is a great old fashioned pineapple upside down cake recipe that has probably been used for generations! This recipe is made in an old fashioned cast iron skillet. An added benefit is that cooking in cast iron skillets can actually add significant amounts of iron to your food and into your body! This was proven by researchers in and published in the July 1986 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association Journal. Acidic foods that have a higher moisture content absorb the most iron, making pineapples a great food to use. So have fun, enjoy the cake & maybe get a little healthier!!
