As some of my friends know, I sort of "adopted" one of my favorite man cousins. The poor man lives alone. Ocationally one of his sons come to visit. He eats mainly junk food and has been having some health problems. He has high blood pressure and is overweight. And he LOVES sweet things. He is coming for diner every Friaday and I make him homemade food. I put the leftovers in a doggybag so he can reheat it at home and can have another day of decent food.
What I want now is a dessert that meets his health needs and also his wishes.
I have a pineapple and I would like to use it. Any ideas?
Take care everyone!

Hey marguicha, sorry that I cant help you with a recipe but I just wanted to say GOOD for you to help someone eat healthy. When you are alone it is easier to go out and eat that unhealthy stuff out there. Hope some one can give you some god advice what to do with your pineapple.

wow, we are going to vote for a new gouvernment in september next year. I hope there will be changes. The sitting one is not doing a good job in my opinion. But again, it is not easy to be a politician today. Well, I think it was nice to make something good for a family member. I also do my eating here beside my computer. My son is with his father this weekend. So I am totally alone and I love it.

Hi Marguicha! We have a popular dessert here called apple crisp. It's baked appled with a crumbly topping. The topping is usually a mixture of quick-cooking oats, flour and brown sugar (equal parts) and mixed with melted butter or shortening to make it crumbly. Why not make pineapple crisp? Because pineapple is naturally sweet, you could adjust the amount of sugar in it, and no one would know.

Glad you liked the idea. You could actually make it even easier on yourself by using a good granola for the crumb topping. By saving a bit of sugar in the topping, you could add a scoop of low-sugar ice cream. Then, if Carlos doesn't like it, I'll come down and give you a hand...

This is an excellent idea, catla. I´ll do just that. And if Carlos doesn´t like it, I can have 2 dessers.
Thanks a lot. I´ll tell you how it came out.

hi marguicha, well once famous dish is a pineapple up side down cake i have never made one before, you can also make him a yummy fruit smoothie with some fruits he may like it filling easy to make and naturally sweetened. for example pine apple, banana, mango and orange juice and don't forget the ice. or maybe cut up the pine apple and melt some extra dark chocolate and either dip the pine apple in the chocolate or drizzle some over the pineapple and then get some unsweetened coconut flakes and sprinkle on top and stick in the refrigerator. you take care too
