Tucanos is a restaurant in our area that is our absolute favorite. Only problem is that it costs more than our trip for a week of groceries does at Costco.
For your bday Tucanos sends you a coupon for a free meal to use anytime during your bday month. That plus getting there right before the dinner price starts= pretty cheap for incredible food. Running 14 miles right before going to Tucanos is an excellent idea, just in case you were wondering.
Round 1 of 58 is below, I didn’t take a lot of pictures because I was too busy eating it. Billy always thinks it is silly that I go to the salad bar and fill up on salad followed by a plate of mashed potatoes and cheese filled rolls but those are my favorite things and the delicious meat is just an added bonus.
The servers come around and offer you grilled pineapple marinated in brown sugar which is the best thing you will ever eat in your life. I have canker sores now from eating an entire pineapples worth of it. My other favorite parts of what the servers bring around to your table are garlic sirloin, turkey wrapped in bacon and mango cod. The cod was everyone’s favorite.
The little block on the table is to tell them whether to keep coming or stop, we had the green end up for way too long. What does one do after running for 2 hours followed by eating for 2 hours? Turn off every light in the house and see how long we can nap for, which surprisingly turned out to be 2 hours. Now that is a productive day for you. What does it feel like to have responsibilities?
And for your viewing pleasure: My niece dressed up as a princess and a ninja at the exact same time.
Round two for you viewing pleasure: Janae at midnight getting her chocolate strawberry on….is scary.
PS did anyone watch Modern Family this last week? HILARIOUS!

I’m so behind the social media storm. I’m a facebook girl Just go twitter to try and promote my blog. Don’t have any other (my mom has pintrest & I dont….)
Just Facebook.
And speaking of that picture of you and Billy could be a new profile pic……VERY CUTE!
Erica, you are brilliant. I haven’t updated my profile picture in 2 years ha. Hope you are having an amazing day and we need to email chat!
I’m currently loving pinterest, facebook, and Twitter!
Okay and I am just wondering – how did you guys get those syringes with actual needles? I’m scared.
BAHAHA so my BIL shadowed for a doctor a while ago and got some syringes specifically for injecting strawberries…we are a strange family! Hope you are having an amazing day gorgeous girl!
Grilled pineapple with cinnamon and topped with vanilla yogurt is so delicious! My day has involved me, tv, bed and pjs abd oh has it been glorious
Hi Janae! First of all, that is an excellent picture of you and the Billster! Seriously- couple of the year!
I LOVE grilled pineapple! Have you ever done bananas? Oohhh. So good, too! And if you’re wondering if ice cream follows that, YES!
Today Im looking forward to my 8 miler- I still need some more coffee though:-)
Have a great day! And… Are the strawberries as good as they look? What a genius Billy is!
Jodi!!! Your comment made my day, thank you so so much for your sweet comment. I NEED to try grilled bananas, that sounds SO good…ice cream on top? YES PLEASE! How did your 8 miler go!?!?!
I love that picture of your neice. I cracked up laughing.
I got 3 (fast for me) miles in yesterday, and was planning on doing 5 today, but my body hurts in places that I didn’t know it could from running. I might just walk my 5 today (boring).
I want to go to Costco. hmm…froyo!
CONGRATS on your SPEEDY miles yesterday! I hope you get to go to Costco and eat froyo!
I LOVE grilled pineapple! In the summer I make it on my BBQ!
That green light would be on all night for me too!
I have never watched an episode of Modern Family that I didn’t just absolutely CRACK UP!!!!! it’s my favorite show!!!!!
Manny and Gloria are my favorites!
Mmm the grilled pineapple looks amazing
I’m allergic to it, but sometimes I’ll eat it anyway because it’s delicious and worth the agony and swollen tongue after!
I’m kind of hooked on Pinterest right now, surprisingly! I am OBSESSED with finding running photos and motivational photos and pinning them… And of making collages of cute stylish running gear. I think I need a life
I LOVE modern family. “Aunt Mommy”. hahahhaha
love grilled pineapple and cod. I must go to that restaurant next month when I go to Utah. I don’t do instagram but want to try it. You guys injecting strawberries is too funny. MF was dang funny this week, the best was Claire’s scary hair and makeup the morning after…my kids think I look like that after a rough night.
I ran 11 miles yesterday, went great except I had never worn my running shorts, I got chaffed on my thighs. I should have listened to my 13 year old when he said they didn’t look good. Lol I am sore today, tired feet. Have a good one. Did you darken the bottom of your hair again?
HEY YOU!!! Wait…you are coming to Utah?!? We must hang out! CONGRATS on your 11 miles yesterday, that is awesome. NOOOO I hate chaffing, it is so painful when you get in the shower. I didn’t darken my hair…I think it was just the lighting or maybe it is fading ha. Hope you are having a relaxing day!
I’m so excited to throw my college roomie a baby shower today!
I am addicted to pinterest and daily mile…could spend a straight hour on twitter too….social media, eek!
How did the shower go!?!?! That is so much fun! Yep…social media takes over my life too! Hope you are having a great day!
It went sooooo well; thanks for asking! I just posted about it on my blog if you want to check it out. Hope your Sunday was fantastic!
Marinated grilled pineapple? This must have been so delicious!
And I need to try filling strawberries. Never knew this was possible!
Such a cute picture of you and Billy!!
Thanks Kristin, hope you are having an amazing day!
You guys eat out more than anyone I have ever known! lol But that restaurant sounds amazing. Grilled pineapple? Yes please!
I am solely a Facebook girl. I’ve tried to get into Pinterest for about 30 seconds one day and just didn’t get it.
Today I’m looking forward to getting in the 10 miles I missed yesterday but mostly I’m looking forward to having tomorrow off for President’s Day!
Ha…funny you say that because we decided no more eating out all next week. We got too many coupons and gift cards for my bday and we went crazy! How did your 10 miles go? Stoked that you get the day off tomorrow, enjoy!
Pinterest is my favorite site of the moment.
I am obsessed with Modern Family….best comedy show on TV right now!
What a cool restaurant! I’ve never had grilled pineapple but it sure does look fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever had cod either! I’m excited to be going on an adventure hike today!
That picture of you with the needle and strawberry is hilarious!! You look like you are getting your much needed fix of that stuff!
Modern Family is our favorite show, we laugh out loud every week! I think Claire makes me laugh the most because she is spastic mom and I am afraid I might turn into one of those too.
Today is chore day, gotta get things ready for the week. I look forward to a clean house with clean clothes and a stocked frig by the end of the day!
My husband and I love tucanos. We also take advantage of their birthday club free meal which means we only go twice a year – once for his birthday and once for mine. The salad bar and grilled pineapple are easily my favorites too!
Mmm. I love grilled pineapple. I am looking forward to a short 3-4 mile run to shakedown the legs from yesterday’s 17, catching up grading some exams, and then reading some non-academic books for once.
Right now, I love—Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Pinterest is addicting so I try to steer clear when I have a lot of other things to do! Have a great Sunday!!
Oh Tucanos!! We LOVE that place! My Hubs went to Brazil on his mission so he LOVES all the weird meat! I love their salad bar(way better than Rodizio if I may add)!! I am just like you… Load up on salad and then a bowl full of mashed potatoes and pan de queso(cheese filled bread)!!! The grilled pineapple may be a tie with the bread, and LOVE the turkey wrapped in bacon! Can we all go together please?? Yum!
Today I am looking forward to staying in my pjs til our 1:00 church starts! And going to my moms after for a yummy Sunday Dinner!
Have a great Sunday and Rest Day!!
YES PLEASE can we go together! I am so there. Oh my…the cheese filled bread is the bomb.com! 1 pm church..wow! We have 8:30 a.m. church. Have a blast at your moms gorgeous girl!
It’s my rest day too- much needed! I’m loving instagram, but I’m just now trying to figure out how to use it! I thought it was just for pics and didn’t realize you have people follow you and all that. Oh and grilled pineapple is my fave
Hope you are enjoying your rest day Caroline and that you get some grilled pineapple ASAP!
Oh I didn’t realize that instagram has a social component to it. I do love the way that those photos turn out!
I LOVE pictures of your niece! So unbelievably cute!
We have a Brazilian place like that in Chicago (Fogo de Chao) and I always get the salad bar too and feast on the potatoes, bread, and plantains for the table. So delicious and what a perfect place to go to after a long run!
Grilled pineapple is the best! The first time I had it I was swayed because I was sitting at a beachside restaurant in Mexico. I wish I could eat grilled pineapple like that all the time!
Your niece is so much cooler than I was at that age. And why are you using a syringe for chocolate sauce?!
HA we injected the strawberries with chocolate…we are strange:)
I love that it looks like you have the grip of death of Billster’s arm in this!
Fun date night!! And, tell Curly she is THE coolest ever–you know how I like my ninjas! Especially the ones with tiaras!
hugs! And….maybe just a lil Dexter-ish with the strawberries! Nice facial expression!! 
im a facebook girl at heart and just recently am really loving twitter though!
and grilled pineappl eis my fav! I love it on kabobs with meat and veggies. yum!!!
We have restaurant around here that seems very similar to where you went. They went around with skewers of meat, and… grilled pineapple! So delicious!
I’m looking forward to my run today! Whether I brave the fresh snow on the ground, or hit up the treadmill… I will get this run done!
My favourite right now… Well the most fun one is definitely Pinterest. Hooked. But I also love instagram and twitter
Love grilled pineapple! We usually get a whole pineapple at Costco to grill. Soooo yummy!
Today is laundry day and my first attempt at running in a couple weeks. Can’t wait!
PR!!!!! I ran Half at the Hamptons, NH 1:57:54, then we went to Sonic Burger. I will have ice cream tonight.
Love grilled pineapple.
AHHHH BETHANY!! I am so so so so happy for you. Congrats on your amazing PR and enjoy your ice cream tonight!
Thanks Janae!
Its a rest day for me too – so nice!
That grilled pineapple looks awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever had grilled pineapple before. I recently had Cod for the first time. But I just bought it at the frozen section of the grocery store. I actually though that it was tilapia when I was buying it, but it was pretty good. It was potato crusted cod.
Yum! I love that this place offers so much variety and not just meat like I would’ve expected!
I love grilled fruit in the summer, especially peaches and pineapple.
Did I see wasabi peas on your salad?? Those are the best!!
We have huge awesome plans to go to a BYU basketball game and Tucanos next weekend! Our birthday month is the only time we go to Tucanos, too
. SO yummy.
I mostly use Facebook- kinda getting into Pinterest and I just got my first iphone, so I am stilling figuring out Instagram.
Okay well this is just reason #84682 why you need to move here ASAP and be my friend: it’s traditional/normal for burgers here to contain slices of grilled (or sometimes raw.. depends on the place) pineapple. You sold? Okay see you in like 20 hours bye!
That sounds like the brazilian restaurants near us. I am not a fan of hot fruit unless it is apples in some sort of crisp or pie.
I don’ t know Instagram. I will have to look.

we went to tucano’s for v-day. it is one of our faves! they had specials that night…filet mignon and shrimp. oh MY. i think i ate an ocean worth of shrimp that night. and my husband says the same thing about the salad bar. he won’t go near it. he doesn’t want to waste any room in his belly..has to save it all for meat. but those potatoes! and those rolls! good thing we are planning our next trip there already. we’ll probably have to save for 384 years. no biggie.
