Bring on the Chips Because This Salsa Is The Bomb!

I used to think that mango and salsa didn’t belong in the same sentence let alone as a recipe. The mangos I had eaten were a bit on the slimy side and the thought of dredging a perfectly good tortilla chip through the sweet mash seemed almost criminal.

But, that was before I learned how to pick out a good mango and cut one up. One of the perks of living in Southern California is the abundance of fresh fruit for such a long season.Mangos are a staple at our house.

Two of our kids joined Ballet Folklorico when we moved from Northern California to San Diego. The culture, dance, and food is bright and colorful. Just like this fresh fruit salsa.

This easy recipe is a perfect blend that makes my taste buds feel like are having a fiesta! It is perfect to serve with chips, on fish, and whatever else your heart desires.

Shout out to Kate at Cookie+Kate for this recipe.

Quick Tip:  If you do bring home a mango that’s slightly firmer to the touch, and not quite ready to go — ripening is easy! Just leave the mango out at room temperature, OR, to speed up the process, let the mango ripen (also at room temperature) inside a paper bag.

This Side Dish Dresses Up Any Picnic!

I just checked to make sure our gas grill is ready to fire up. The taste of grilled chicken, crusty french bread and a cold side make eating outside extra awesome. Especially when you don’t have to spend a ton of time cooking in the kitchen.

This recipe originally called for frozen spinach but I love being able to toss some fresh spinach into anything for an added wholesome touch.

Being a busy family on the go means having to either have great recipes or having to buy prepackaged foods to take to picnics and get-togethers.

Thankfully, this recipe calls for everything I usually have on hand and is super easy to make the day before. I just put this into a large zip-lock bag to save on space and when it is time to serve, just pull it out of my ice chest or fridge, put into a bowl, add a small handful of extra Parmesan cheese on top and BAM..we are ready to dish up!

Quick Tip: If you have some extra artichoke hearts or fresh mozzarella cheese, just put those in as well. I am all for customizing dished with our families favorite ingredients!

Fix it and Forget it! Now That Is The Ultimate Convenience

It takes a lot of juggling to keep up with everyone’s busy schedules. As a mom of six kids, I remember hectic days when it felt like we lived in the car!  And I know I am not the only one who wonders how she can be so busy and yet never feel like she never gets enough accomplished. Is that you?

I see you out there..nodding your head “Yes!”

While life can feel like a merry-go-round on warp speed, there are things that come up that we don’t want to miss. Life is too short not to live it the fullest.

The last thing you want to do after a long day is worry about what you are fixing for dinner. Time to pull out the crock pot! You can put this chicken in before you leave the house, so all you have to do is steam some rice and veggie and dinner is served!

An Added Bonus Is That This Dessert Is Gluten Free

Once of my mom’s best friends from high school married a man from Australia and moved to the land of Koala Bears and Kookaburra birds.

I remember it was a big deal every time her family traveled to the states because it was usually several years between visits. I think it was when they were having a get together that we had pavlova for the first time. After that, every time my mom made the melt in your mouth dessert I would think of Wendy and her family.

Serving Pavlova in Australia is what serving pie is in the United States.

It was when they were having a get together with Wendy’s Austrailian family that we had pavlova for the first time. After that, every time my mom made the melt in your mouth dessert I would think of my mom’s friend and the joy they stories they would laugh about when they were together.

Quick Tip: Use whatever fruit is in season such as strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, peaches, raspberries.

Don’t Let This Simple Muffin Fool You.

Perfect for those soccer mornings where just getting out of the house with everyone’s gear in hand is worthy of a trophy..or at least a sticker!

Recently I combined two of my favorite muffin recipes and doubled it. I ended up with a huge mountain of muffins, and my family couldn’t be happier. As a mom of 6 very busy and hungry kids, I know what I am talking about when it comes to feeding your family hearty and healthy food.

I put a dozen in each gallon sized zip-lock bags and put most of them in the freezer so I could just take a few out at a time. Because I substituted most of the oil for applesauce, these muffins are moist without being heavy.

 “As much as I love the convenience of buying cardboard trays of muffins from the large discount warehouses. I know it is so much cheaper, and healthier when I make them from scratch.”

Helpful Hint: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand you can make your own! Who knew?  Pour 1 cup of milk into a bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. There you go!
