As you can see I'm a BIG fan of Whole Food's site. It's VERY user friendly and has a lot of cool features. It seriously may be my favorite site. The only thing I can think of, so far that could improve it is for the site to actually categorize or group together items in your shopping list for you. The way it's set up now they are just listed in the order they're added. It would save a lot of time in the store. I really suggest checking it out. You can use it even if you don't have or choose not to shop at a Whole Foods.

This dinner was deeeeeeelish. The plantains weren't quite ripe so that was a bit of a fail but, the pork and pineapple was wonderful. The husband and youngest really enjoyed it (SCORE!). My 8 year old took some coaxing, He literally sat at the dinner table for nearly 2 hours. We make eating a choice. Sometimes choices are more limited than others. Dinner time is becoming less and less flexible. Tonight, Keegan knew he did not have to choose to eat his dinner but, if he didn't he also could not have the left over piece of cake from his party this afternoon. It was really tough choice for him. When he did decide to eat his pork he was pretty neutral on the taste. The texture was familiar so he was good there. He didn't love the taste but, it seemed to grow on him. Realizing that it didn't taste bad enough to sit at the table for 2 hours and definitely not worth passing up the cake over. He did finish his small serving (half a tenderloin) and said he actually liked it, although I do think there was some kissing up going on for the sake of his cake.

Overall, I think this dinner was a success. Given how picky my family is the level of resistance was actually less than I'd anticipated. The prep and cooking time was minimal. I did all the grilling on my Foreman in about 20 minutes, *two thumbs up*
