These blackened shrimp tacos with pineapple are bright and summery. Shrimp is grilled with a homemade blackened seasoning, and a delicious grilled fresh pineapple salsa tops them off. Add sour cream if you want to cool them down a touch.

Magical Unicorn Poop Meringues
This spin on classic meringues is fun and tasty! I have even turned off the heat and let them continue to sit in the oven overnight. They are not so much baking as they are drying out the moisture. Although humidity can affect them, I have made them on many a wet day day here in rainy Oregon. I hope you enjoy them!
