Pineapple Pork Tacos

Pineapple Pork Tacos are so amazing and easy to make.. They are healthy and refreshing, very delicious.

Dinner at the Reese house goes from healthy to not healthy at all. It’s been a crazy transition. I go from wanting to be more healthy to craving chick fil a fries at 9 o’clock at night. It’s really a conundrum. I’ve also noticed that certain foods make me have heartburn at night and that’s been fun.

No more marinara for dinner, fruity candy at night or diet coke after 5 pm. I know there are more triggers so I’m going to be a little more careful. I really liked these tacos because they were refreshing and light and tasted so good. Since I now love tacos and hamburgers with this pregnancy it’s been amazing!
