Hiya, friends! How are you? Getting ready for Fall?? I’m almost in disbelief that the end of summer is near. wah wah waaaaah! Where did our time go? I’m gunna miss our days at the pools and backyard bbq’s… really, really miss them.
However, right here, right now, let’s just acknowledge that I am posting a recipe for GRILLED pork and pineapple skewers, which means it’s still summer summer summer-tiiiiime! <– Will Smith circa 1991.

Today we’re giving a big welcome to their Caribbean Inspired Adobo Blend and its aromatic and amazing chili-garlic flavor over some really good Barbecue Pineapple and Pork Skewers.
Adobo is a savory, all-purpose seasoning and is normally used to season and/or marinate meat, chicken, or fish. This Caribbean Adobo seasoning can be sprinkled directly onto the meat, as I have done here, or added into soups, stews, beans, and rice.
So here’s the deal: I’m obsessed with the whole barbecue-pineapple concoction. The sweet, the savory, the smoky… it’s all in there and it’s hearty, and zippy, but adding a sprinkle of that adobo, these pork skewers went from very good to pretty darn awesommmme. Once they are done, the rest will be history in under 5 minutes.
You can grab Private Selection Spice Blends at your local Kroger, but FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR OWN PRIVATE SELECTION SPICE BLENDS, please tell me what do you plan to make with them?
ENJOY!

WOW! I’ve never seen those in my Kroger! I hope I win them so I can let my cooking imagination fly!! I love using spices to create new flavors in my food. I will have to look for the Caribbean blend (unless you pick me) so I can try it on my next Kabob meal!!!
What I’d do with these spices? Create a flavor explosion in my guest’s mouths! Pork, beef, and chicken kabobs? Grilled steak? Pork chops? Grilled Salmon? Grilled veggies? So many choices
