Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
Here it is...my 100th Post! Woot Woot! I tossed around all kinds of ideas of what it should be. I am really proud of my little blog and excited about this milestone. I decided my 100th post would be a Thank You! When I think about my blog and all the wonderful people I encounter through it I am thankful. So I'm going to make like an Oscar winner, get all sappy, and thank some people!
First, I want to thank two people and a company who really brightened my week last week. As I blogged about last week, we are having money troubles right now. I haven't had grocery money for almost 3 weeks now (don't worry, we'll be fine). I was feeling a bit down about this last week and within a day span I received three things in the mail. I've heard of pennies from Heaven, but this was like presents from Heaven!
I want to thank Kami Gray who recently sent me a copy of her book The Denim Diet.
I want to thank Vitalicious who sent me huge sampler of VitaTops and VitaBrownies.
I want to thank Tracey Mallett who sent me a copy of her workout DVD Lose the Belly Flab.
Big thank you to all of them for putting a smile on my face during a difficult time. I know companies send things for bloggers to review all the time, but the timing made it special to me.
Next, I want to thank all of you that read my blog and comment on my blog. You rock. I hope that my next 100 blog posts will be worthy of your reading. Your support and kind words mean so much to me.
A huge thank you goes out to Vonda...you are always there. Your love, support, kindness, encouragement, and yes, your ninja-ness are so important to me. I couldn't ask for a better friend.
I also would like to thank all my Twitter friends. As a stay at home mom who homeschools you guys help keep me sane!
Last, I would like to thank my fellow bloggers. You all are this whole wonderful, supportive, encouraging community that I feel proud to be a part of.
I work very hard to keep my attitude positive and grateful, it's not my natural bent, but I think it is important and makes all aspects of my life better. I have a lot to be thankful for in my life and I think it is important to remember this, especially in the hard times. Who knew my silly little blog would bring so many wonderful people into my life? But it has and I am grateful.
Thank you! Here's to 100 more posts!
congratulations! I bet the next 100 will be fantastic as well! Been great to get to know you better through here.

Very sweet blog...I love reading your blog...and conversing with you on twitter. You make me feel important; like you've known me forever and don't mind me haning around (like a pesty lil sis). I'm at a very interesting point in my life, when things are constantly changing, and reading the blogs I do keep me sane. And probably a bit grounded. Heres to the next 100 posts!!
