With only 3 ingredients, this refreshing Pineapple Italian Ice recipe is about as easy as it gets!
One of my dearest friends in the blogging universe is Aggie from Aggie’s Kitchen. Have you met Aggie yet? If not, you must. She is incredibly kind, family oriented, down to earth and beautiful both inside and out. If you know Aggie, you’ve probably heard that she’s expecting baby #3… a sweet baby boy to round out her adorable family. I’m excited to be joining a group of Aggie’s friends in celebrating the arrival of her newest addition with a virtual baby shower.
Considering Aggie’s Italian heritage, the theme of the baby shower was Italian food. I hope you’ll hop around to all the other blogs to see their tributes to Aggie and her new bundle of joy. Find my recipe for 3 ingredient Pineapple Italian Ice at the end of this post. It’s so easy and refreshing!
Aggie, I love you and am so happy for you and your family! I can’t wait to meet your sweet bundle of joy very soon. Congrats!

this reminded me of that seinfeld episode where kramer asks bette midler what kind of italian ice she wants and she says pineapple because she knows it’ll be impossible to find.
