Pineapple - Broke & Healthy

Crushed Pineapple Popsicles

by Ande Truman on May 07, 2013 | No Comments

This is less of a recipe and more of a fun tip. Summer is coming and there’s nothing better than a fruit popsicle in the hellish heat. Instead of splurging on expensive popsicles full of high fructose corn syrup and who-knows-what-else, make your own! Grab yourself a set of popsicle molds from Amazon and let [...]

One thing I love about these is that they’re perfect for entertaining. Make this for a dinner party and you’ll be the local eccentric condescending foodie in no time! (But seriously, eat it…)

If I remember correctly, after taking the first bite of this I proclaimed, “OH SNAP.” Thus concludes my introduction to this dish. Start with some chicken legs or whatever cut you want. I just got a killer deal on these. Rinse and dry the pieces. Also, go ahead and get your rice cookin’! Drop them [...]
