Add a burst of tropical flavor to your summer menu with these delicious ideas:

2. Grilled Pineapple Skewers

🧼 Pineapple for the Home

Did you know pineapple enzymes are natural degreasers and air fresheners? Here are a few natural home hacks:

1. Pineapple Peel Enzyme Cleaner: Soak pineapple peels in water with a bit of sugar for a few days to ferment. Use as a mild, natural cleaner for kitchen counters or tile floors. (Test a small area first!)
