Hey guys!

Tonight, Iowa Boy Eats was in the kitchen! On the menu: Grilled Ham & Pineapple Salsa.

The minute he told me what were were having, I thought of this classic Seinfeld clip…salsaaaahhhh! For a good laugh, play seconds :08-:11 a good four or five times. Hilarious!! 

Ahh…love me a good Seinfeld clip.

Love me some grilled pineapple, too! Ben simply drained a can of pineapple rings and lightly grilled them alongside a lean, ham steak.

Then he chopped them up and added the chunks to the last of our Graddy’s Fresh Salsa – pretty clever!

I topped a 4oz portion of some lean, grilled ham steak with a whole pineapple ring and a generous portion of pineapple salsa. Unbelievable!

The smokey, salty ham was complimented so well by that spicy, sweet salsa. Go Ben!

Go Ben x2 for including some fresh veggies with dinner: Steamed Broccoli.

Fork tender and oh-so fresh.

Ben’s getting so good in the kitchen that a dedicated tab has been requested…hmmm…we’ll see what we can work out.

I definitely saved some room in order to sample my new Trader Joe’s goodies tonight!

Mini Vanilla Meringues:

1 meringue = 1 calorie!

These are super sweet, so you really only need a few.

I paired them with a few pieces of Australian Licorice.

I’m rationing this pack – I finished the last one far too quickly!!

After this – the kitchen is closed.

FYI – the alternative title to this post was “Hold Me Closer Tony Danza” because Ben has been singing that song all evening and I can’t get it out of my head…

AFYI: I’m answering emails tonight! If you’ve emailed me in the last week without a response (I know) you should get one tonight!

Have a good one!
