Pinkglow® Pineapple Carpaccio

by Nanny Bubby

By Tasha Ann PowelI
I love learning about a new fruit that has only been on the planet in development for five years. And, it has only been on the market for 2 years at the writing of this recipe in January of 2022. I am talking about the Pinkglow ® pineapple grown in Costa Rica by Delmonte and distributed in America by Melissa’s Produce. This hybrid pineapple is so sweet and smooth.
This recipe was taught to me by Tasha Ann Powell, a very talented food blogger and “Pitcher and Powell” food tour operator in Morocco, Provence and Italy. It makes a beautiful presentation and an even more delicious dessert! The edible gold just brings it to a whole new level. Enjoy!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

by Nanny Bubby

When it comes to pre-packaged seasoning mixes, I don’t trust them. Often, they are filled with MSG, corn starch, stabilizers, etc. Once I realized how easy it is to duplicate those seasoning by making my own, I have never looked back. Here is one of the easiest Mexican flavored seasonings that work on almost any dish. Enjoy!

Total Time:

10 minutes

Serves:

1

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. Onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Oregano
  • 1 Tbsp. Black pepper

Directions

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a wired whisk. That’s it
  • Store in a sealed container up to 6 months.

Notes

Most packaged seasoning packets have 2-3 Tablespoons of seasoning in them. To substitute this Taco seasoning mix for store bought, sprinkle 2-3 Tbsp. homemade seasoning on your meats before serving.
