Rice and Pineapple Salad

 
We recently replaced our 17 year-old Ducane grill (which Drake had rebuilt twice) with a beautiful new Weber S-450. We had been sans grill for a few months as we researched replacement options for the Ducane and were otherwise occupied with other things. So it was a bit of a celebration to have the S-450 set up and ready to go. But what should we make for our grill inauguration? We settled on fajitas and this refreshing rice and pineapple salad. What I love about this salad is that it's a lighter balance to Mexican entree--and alternative to rice and beans. It also contains jicama, which gives it a fantastic crunch.

Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage

The holidays are over and we're getting back to our normal routine, including simpler winter fare. This sweet and sour cabbage is my mother's recipe--I'm 51 so I'll let you do the math on how long I've been enjoying this cabbage--but it is a family favorite served with grilled sausages and a baked potato. Warm comfort on a winter evening for sure.
