There’s simply nothing like fresh fruits and vegetables!  The flavors are so much more intense and the way they are meant to taste without any additives and/or preservatives!   And if there is only one fresh fruit and/or vegetable that is a must-eat for me while in Hawaii, it is pineapple!  It’s the very first food item that we purchase in the marketplace!  I enjoy pineapple simply cut up into cubes, but my husband doesn’t, so I knew that I needed to either grill, bake or cook some pineapple in a different way to get him to eat it!  

So with fresh macadamia nut ice cream on hand, the logical thing to create was a pineapple sundae of some sort.  So I came up with this idea:  slice up some of the pineapple pound cake that my husband bought, serve it ala mode with mac nut ice cream, pour over those with a brown sugar-butter caramel sauce with sauteed pineapples, some banana slices and sprinkled chopped macadamia nuts!  The end creation:  Pineapple Cake with Macadamia Nut Ice Cream and Caramel Pineapple Sauce!  It was sweet, loaded, and decadent!  Plus this recipe was fast and easy . . . I just made it up as I went with what I had on hand in our mini-kitchen (I did run across the street to the store to pick up a small bag of brown sugar and a tiny container of cinnamon that I can pack back home).  My husband was in Hawaiian pineapple paradise!  I was in sugar-high-overdose mode, but the caramel sauce was worth every second.  This is so “ONO”, which means ‘delicious’ in Hawaiian!
