Pineapple Salsa and Giveaway

I enjoy making a variety of sweet desserts and savoury dishes using pineapple all year around. Since I can't find fresh pineapple when it is not in season, we opt for Dole canned pineapple and find that they work just like fresh pineapples for the recipes I make. I always have a can of pineapple at home, you never know when you need one. As a pineapple fan, I am excited to be partnering with Dole Canada to host a Dole Pineapple kit giveaway to celebrate International Pineapple Day this June 27th.

Sponge Pineapple Upside Down Cake made in a Deep Cast Iron Pan

Have a blessed Ramadan everyone.

I love making my favourite, delicious pineapple upside down cake on this Deep Cast Iron Pan from Mr. Bar-B-Q. It has deep sides, which is useful for pan roasting, braising, grilled cheese, cobblers and much more. We can use it on grills, stovetops, and in ovens or take it for camping. I love that it is pre-seasoned and ready to use. The heat distributes evenly to the cooking surface. This pan has to be washed by hand without using harsh detergents and dried thoroughly right away to prevent rusting. We should apply a thin coat of oil before storing in a dry place.
