by Melanie Walsh With 2015 now in full swing, I finally had a chance to reflect and write some resolutions. Better late than never, right? One thing that would benefit my family is to increase our fruit & veggies intake. I use a variety of methods to get my kids to eat healthy. I’ve instructed […]

Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kebabs Recipe

February is Heart Health Month, and in my family we strive to cook meals that are healthier for us. After cooking an amazing recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga Tacos a couple months back that has now become a family staple, I tried some other recipes that lean toward lighter cooking (I’m just not really […]

  • I could do this. I love dinner out of the slow cooker, and the kids do too. And I could put anything on a skewer and they will think it’s cool and delicious.

    In this case, they’d be right.

  • Andrea Kruse

    Those pineapple chicken kebabs look amazing! I already love grilling pineapple on the BBQ, but I bet my kids would love these with lots of veggies. Love the simple flavors of rosemary and oregano in this recipe.

  • TerriAnn

    Ooh, this sounds so yummy. I love pineapple and everything tastes better over the grill!

    I love pineapple and chicken and this sounds easy enough to make so I may try to make it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

  • Crystal

    Those have me daydreaming about summertime. I love to bbq, but the weather isn’t always permitting. I need to get a stovetop grill.

  • Hilly

    Although I don’t eat meat at all, I must admit that this looks delicious!

  • Donna

    That looks so fresh and delicious, Penelope! Pineapple is my favorite fruit, too! This reminds me that I need a new grill pan.

    This is one of my favorite summer meals. I love adding baby potatoes and mushrooms too!

    These sound delicious. I like that it’s a healthy dinner option.

  • Jenn

    I bet these are delicious, I’m a huge fan of pineapple.

    I love the colors in this dish. Since we have mild temperatures pretty much all winter we grill a lot, the perk of living in the south 🙂

  • Matea

    I love chicken-pineapple combination! Great recipe! Will try it for sure!

  • Lesha

    I’m not sure if I ever tried kebabs before, but they sure look amazing!

    I love both of these actors! I’m going to have to dvr this movie — it looks like a perfect Friday night flick.

  • Jenn

    I love family movie night, this looks interesting!

  • Billie

    I love Jason Lee! He’s a favorite around here.

  • Colleen

    Hallmark has some great movies! This sounds good.

  • HilLesha

    This is my kind of movie! I was meaning to watch this earlier, but completely forgot all about it.

  • vanessa

    Hallmark has the best movies. I can sit home all day and watch.

  • Liz Mays

    I love watching Hallmark. The movies always make me feel good inside, and I know I’ll love this one.

    Great cast! I love watching Hallmark movies with popcorn and a big blanket. This also sounds like a movie my kids would enjoy.

  • Tanya

    I love the fact that Hallmark movies are always appropriate to have on when children are around. My husband thinks they’re sappy but I usually like them 🙂 I like the feel good stuff better than huge explosions, lol!

  • Tara

    This sounds like such a great movie. I love it when movie makers can focus on telling a story than using so many gimmicks of effects and swearing/innuendo.

  • Rina

    I can’t wait to finally see this movie. It’s sounds like it’s going to be one of those great “love movies”.

Three Reasons Why Everyone Should Be Streaming Netflix in 2015 #StreamTeam

this is a partnered post I recently realized that Friends is now streaming on Netflix, so I’ve basically spent every free moment I have binge watching the first two seasons and re-experiencing the tumultuous love story that was Ross and Rachel. I love Friends, and I love that Netflix is streaming them, and it’s just […]

  • HilLesha

    I used not be into TV shows at all. However, Netflix has helped fostered a love for them, and now I have several favorites. Lately, I’ve been binge watching Sons of Anarchy. Normally, I hate those TV shows (or movies), but it has a really interesting story line.

  • Crystal

    I hadn’t seen Friends in so long, even though I own most of the seasons on DVD. It’s been so fun to go back and rewatch them. Have you ever noticed there’s a Reserved sign on the coffee table at Central Perk? It was just pointed out to me, and my mind was blown.

  • Anna

    You know I never got into Friends? Maybe now I can watch on Netflix!

  • Awwww,that turned out so cute! I have 4 series I’m rotating between every day on Netflix now, and weekends I do movies on there.

  • Tammy

    Aww I love that they were able to put that together on their own with mama just helping a bit with the scissors 🙂 I binge watch Netflix like a starving person 🙂 Right now we’re working on Marco Polo and The Guild.

  • Kait

    I need to jump on the Netflix train. Maybe I’ll comvince the hubby for Valentine’s Day.

  • I agree these are excellent reasons and all the reasons we love Netflix, too! Sometimes I watch a little too much when I should be working… but hey, there’s worse things I could be doing. 🙂

  • Valia

    We’re always streaming our Netflix since there are so many amazing shows on Netflix.

  • Andrea Kruse

    I have had Netflix for years, but only recently was turned onto the Netflix Original programming. It is great for my kids. They love watching the Netflix Original Veggie Tales episodes.

  • I am obsessed with Sons of Anarchy now, thanks to finding it on Netflix.
