Grilled Pineapple

Here's a quick and easy and delicious recipe for grilled pineapple.  Never had it before?  Neither had I until last week, and I was very pleasantly surprised with the results. Slice up a pineapple, no need to core, spread on some marinade and grill. A very tasty side to go with your next cookout.  This recipe is from one of my new favorite food blogs, Skinny Taste.
