Pineapple-Palooza – Treats and Eats July Edition

Watch this month’s episode of Treats and Eats with Krista and Jodi where we feature a few delicious pineapple recipes and talk about how Thrive is closing it’s doors and having a liquidation sale. It’s a sad day for all of us!
Please note: To be notified of future cooking demos you can text the word “DEMO” to 717-788-3663. We may not be featuring Thrive any more but we are going to still do SOME kind of classes each month!

July Recipes

Pineapple Salsa
Dole Whip

Unfortunately pineapple is out of stock but you can pick up anything that’s still available for 25% off during the liquidation sale and with free shipping if you shop through the Thrive delivery service or contact the person who invited you to watch the demo.

If you missed the pineapple from Thrive you can try some other brands like Augason Farms. I haven’t tried many others yet but I definitely will be in the future to find a good alternative for you.
