Fresh Pineapple Crisp

Lately I’ve been buying a pineapple a week and eating it while standing up in the kitchen.  Most likely in one sitting (standing?).

 

Oh, and dreaming that I’m in Hawaii, far far away from the cold snow and blustery winds that Colorado has been cooking up for me lately.

I’ve been dreaming of the beach for going on 4 months now and pineapple?  Pineapple is this pregnant lady’s vehicle to get there.  Well, that and my imagination.  Obviously I can’t drive, fly, or ride a pineapple over the Hawaii.

 

Unless that is you know of a way to do so…then by all means share.  I’m not opposed to travel at 8.5 months pregnant!

 

Anyway, make this today.  Pretend you’re on vacation…you and me, hanging out, reading ridiculous celebrity gossip beachside with a Mai Tai in one hand and a plate of pineapple in the other!

FRESH PINEAPPLE CRISP

  • 1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Preheat your oven to 375.  In a big bowl toss together the pineapple, 2 Tbsp flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon and stir until the flour is coating all of the pineapple.  Pour into a buttered 9×9 baking dish.  In another bowl combine the oats, 1/4 cup flour, sugar, butter and salt, and using your fingers press the butter into the ingredients until the final mixture is crumbly.  Sprinkle evenly on top of the pineapple.  Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes until the pineapple is bubbly and the top is golden brown.  Devour.

You.  Me.  Beach.  Now.

    I don’t have access to really good fresh pineapple, do you think canned in juice will work?

      I think it would work just fine, although I would maybe strain it and only add back about 1/2 of the juice. Let me know how it works out, that would be a great way to make it when pineapple isn’t in season!

      i did too – apparently it’s supposed to induce labor? i would literally eat a whole pineapple in 1-2 days and people were freaking out. then we had to induce labor 1.5 weeks late, so i’m thinking pineapple doesn’t work 🙂

    Looks delicious!

    Be careful with pineapple if you’re at all at risk for going into pre-term labor. The bromalain in pineapple can trigger contractions. If you’re not at risk for pre-term labor, it shouldn’t be a big deal at all. You’d have to eat a huge amount to really see any effects from it.

    I bought a fresh pineapple last week and was coming up with all kinds of ideas for what to do with it. I have a post coming up in a few days featuring this luscious fruit. Mmmmm, tropical.

    Bravo on the crisp! I definitely didn’t think of trying that!

    We went to Tahiti on our honeymoon and pineapple always makes me think of the beaches there. They had amazing pineapple juice straight from the juicer and it just tasted so much better than making it here at home. I’m convinced it was a secret ingredient even though I’d watch them cut it up and juice it right in front me with nothing else added.

4. Roast at 375 for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.

If there’s a silver lining in the quarantines from last year it’s that I know now that I can handle much more chaos than I thought I could 🤪
A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with my avocado plant! Swipe to see this little guy as a teeny sprout 🌱 

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all 😆). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

And, because I know I’ll get asked, my favorite scents are in this order: Fresh Coconut, Soft Lavender, Clean Rose. The coconut smells like a vacation, and couldn’t we all use a vacay right now? 🏖 Link in the ol’ profile to shop!
🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I str 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ‘em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!
🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with findi 🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with finding cardio equipment for their home gym on a budget?

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.
.
BUT GOD.
.
This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!❤️
Just a couple quick reminders: ⭐️ healthy doe Just a couple quick reminders:

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
