Lime Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

We're on our way!!  It has been one of the longest months of my life, but I'm pretty excited to spend this week with my Caleb & Eli in Tennessee.  What a journey it will be!  Wish us safe travels & luck!:)

Since it's grillin' season I thought I'd give you some wonderful grillin' menu items this week (and a cupcake recipe...what can I say?!)

This rice goes so well with grilled chicken or fish.  Add in some watermelon and you've got yourself a wonderful summer meal!
