I am obsessed with all things pineapple! So delicious (tasting) and summery (looking). We buy them fresh here in the spring and summer and eat them all the time, totally inspiring me to make lots of recipes incorporating it. For my favorites this week here all my pineapple loves...
I have fresh mint growing so not only am I loving fresh pineapple I'm loving anything I can use fresh mint in as well. I stumbled across this recipe for pineapple mojitos and I'm dying to try it. Such a fun twist on the classic mojito. I think I might serve it at girl's night that I'm hosting in a couple of weeks. I'm not using a big mojito fan but this one sounds so scrumptious!

I hope everyone has a very happy Friday and a great weekend! It will be a busy one for me with a 5k and a few last minute vacation errands to run and packing. All in hopes that the sunshine finally shines in Oklahoma the rain has been relentless!
Love those pineapple stud earrings! Have a great weekend!
