Mango

Mango is notorious for being just as polarizing as we’ve described. It can be the tastiest fruit imaginable, but you have to be “ready” for it. You have to be in a circumstance where you’re ready to get your hand dirty because it might be the stickiest fruit in existence.

Orange

Oranges, while not usually as sticky as mangos, are also pretty darn sticky. Especially when you consider the fact that orange juice is always squirting out in all different directions while you’re eating it.

Pineapple

And then of course we have pineapples. This spiky fruit that looks like it could’ve been Tom Hanks’ best pal on an island in Cast Away is darn delicious, but also can be just as sticky as the rest of them. Just make sure you’ve got a napkin on hand!

The best way to cut pineapple for grilling is into round, horizontal slices. You will need to remove the core, though, so if you don’t have a special tool for that, you can use a small round glass or cut each round slice into halves before removing the core with a knife.

You can then simply grill the pineapple slices over a medium-high grill for 4-5 minutes. Once one side browns, flip and let the other side grill, too. If you sprinkle a bit of salt on it, the sweetness of the fruit will become even more prominent.

For example, in the 18th century, it wasn’t uncommon to rent a pineapple in order to impress party guests. This was because pineapples were considered a luxury and the price of one went up to today’s $8,000 at some point.

Celery wasn’t as expensive, but it definitely had a moment in history. The Victorian era people used to keep it in special glass vases and display at visible places. Celery dishes were considered a delicacy and they were the main thing at every dinner party. Whenever you’re not feeling like eating celery, remember that the first-class guests on Titanic had it as an exclusive treat.

Despite their simplicity, quesadillas can be modified in countless ways. The simple addition of one or two ingredients inside of your two tortillas can transform a quesadilla from dull to drab! Here are three suggestions for creative additions to your next quesadilla.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a filling way to put a unique touch on a quesadilla. We love combining mushrooms with simple, creamy cheeses such as mozzarella in mine. They can be canned or fresh–either way, you’re going to love it!

Avocados

Mmm, cheese and creamy avocado. The delectable texture that avocado acquires when it gets warm and is in contact with melty cheese in a quesadilla is an absolute treasure. You can take heart in knowing that it’s authentic too, being popular in Mexican gastronomy!

Pineapple

Hear us out here. You might want to brown your pineapple in a skillet or on a grill before placing it in a quesadilla, but if you combine it with a cheese that isn’t too sharp or aggressive, this combination is actually extremely delicious.

All you need to do is to take a small wooden stick, insert it into the fruit, and put it in a plastic bag and into the freezer. Voila, you have frozen fruit “popsicles” that are cheap and easy to enjoy!

Here are some fruits that we recommend for freezing and enjoying this summer.

Watermelon

One of the best fruits for freezing is watermelon. The high water content of this traditional summer melon (over 90%!) makes it super easy to freeze into a refreshing and cooling fruit pop. Yum!

Pineapple

Are you looking for a sweet and tropical frozen fruit pop this summer? Buy a fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks, and enjoy the delicious flavor of frozen pineapple!

Strawberries

Strawberries are a little different than the first two fruits mentioned here, as you don’t have to cut them up in order to enjoy them as a frozen fruit treat. Just stick a toothpick or a small stick into a whole strawberry, place into the freezer, and then enjoy!

While hamburgers and chicken might be things that come to mind as foods made on a grill, there is a variety of foods that can also taste great with the smoky flavor of a grill.

Try out these next three items on your grill the next time you find yourself cooking outside.

Watermelon

That’s right. This beloved summer fruit can be turned into something completely different when you prepare slices of it on the grill. The smoky flavor of the grill creates a fascinating flavor combination when combined with watermelon, turning into a perfect sweet and savory side dish.

Mushrooms

Looking for a hearty grill option that’s meatless? Grilling whole mushrooms like portobellos can be the perfect option for you. Grilled mushrooms seasoned with garlic and olive oil are sure to be a hit for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike at your next barbecue.

Pineapple

Another fruit that’s delicious when grilled is pineapple. Adding heat to this fruit actually caramelizes some of its sugars, turning its flavor into an even more intense experiment. You can eat it on its own, or even top hamburgers with it!
