Marinated Sweet Pineapple Recipe by Bianca Mwale
 Bianca Mwale @bianca_eatsy Zomba, Malawi Being pregnant has me craving all sorts of things, and pineapple has been high on the list. So when I finally splurged on one (despite it being out of season and pricey here in Malawi), I was so bummed and defeated to find it completely bland. Luckily, I found a simple way to sweeten it up with a quick syrup soak, and it worked like magic. I ended up with two tasty options, but draining the syrup hit the spot for that fresh, juicy pineapple fix I was really after #CA2025 Being pregnant has me craving all sorts of things, and pineapple has been high on the list.

Rosanas Ideas Asian Sweet Potato Mousse Asian Sweet Potato Mousse I was addicted to Asian sweet potato pudding once and found the recipe for mousse!! I prefer a looser mousse, so I changed the recipe a bit. It's easy and has smooth texture. I like the mousse better. Adjust the amount of sugar since the sweetness of the sweet potatoes vary. I recommend sweetening the mousse lightly and have it with brown sugar syrup. If you don't have heavy cream, you could replace it with milk. It will be much lighter.
