This Hawaiian grilled cheese is bursting with pineapple, Canadian bacon and jack cheese!
I don’t know what it is about Hawaiian pizza, but it was always my favorite when I was a kid. Maybe because it was different? I love pepperoni and cheese pizza, that’s a classic. But the Hawaiian, was just so much fun!
To this day eating Hawaiian pizza reminds me of being a kid.
This grilled cheese was everything that I hoped for. It truly matches the Hawaiian-ness of the pizza. I’ve never been to Hawaii, but I imagine it to be like how a pineapple tastes. If that makes any sense.
The day I made this was the hottest day of the year so far. I didn’t look to see the temperature, all I know is that I was my poor Lily (now 10 months old) was so sweaty and sticky, and that was with her stripped down to just her diaper. It was also the day I gave her a ponytail! Her very first one. I took it out when she went down for a nap though, and she spent the rest of the day with the best mohawk!
Goodness..where was I? Oh yea. It was hot outside, and inside. So eating this grilled cheese made me think of Hawaii. And sitting on the beach under an umbrella, enjoying a drink from a coconut. I don’t care whats in the coconut. Could be ice water. The important part of the story is that whatever it is I’m drinking is in a coconut!! How amazing would that be?! For those of you who have had a drink in a coconut don’t tell me how lame it really is and ruin this fantasy for me. It’s a life long dream of mine to someday enjoy a drink in a coconut. And it has to be done on a beach.
I am definitely enjoying the month of April being National Grilled Cheese month. I wonder what kind of grilled cheese will be next…

That picture of the melting cheese is amazing! Gooey foods are so hard to photograph, but you nailed it! Ham and pineapple sounds refreshing and filling … perfect for hot days. Haha, I cracked up at the mohawk story! I can relate 🙂
Gooey foods are sooo hard to photograph! And you have to be quick to get it at the right time before it’s just a soggy mess! And I know, poor baby girl has my hair, it’s coming in slightly curly and easily messy!
This is a different twist on a grilled cheese sandwich. Kind of a sweet and salty flavor. Pinned on my lunch board. Visiting from the Show Stopper Blog Party.
