Mango-Avocado Salsa

By -

Okay, so maybe this sounds weird, it did to me at least, but I'm telling you, this is soooo good. Give this one a try during the summer when produce is a bit cheaper than winter.

1 26-oz jar sliced mango, drained and diced (find this usually around fresh produce section)
7 green onions, sliced
2 large avocado, peeled & diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalepeno pepper, minced (this gives it a nice kick, if you want more of a kick leave in the seeds, if you want less, leave it out all together)
2 T chopped Fresh cilantro(must be fresh)
3 T lime juice (or juice from 1/2 - 1 fresh lime)
2 T honey (start with a bit less, and add more if needed)
1/4 tsp salt

Combine, chill & enjoy! You can eat it with chips, serve it over fish, endless possibilities.

    I haven't looked at this blog for awhile, and I see I am behind in posting a recipe. Guess I'll work on that. Any requests?

    You know me and my dislike for hot & spicy, so I'll be making this without the jalapeno pepper, but it does sound good.

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
