I had discovered the beauty of mango and spice in the Strawberry Mango Salsa from the first of the month, so I thought I’d try a different combination. This salsa, is more similar to your traditional tomato pico de gallo with the added sweetness and smooth texture of mango. It’s delicious AND (seriously) nutritious! Can’t […]
Spicy Strawberry Mango Salsa Recipe
It’s STRAWBERRY SEASON, friends! Plus, there have been mangoes on sale in the stores almost every week since Memorial Day. Between those two exciting events and the cilantro steadily producing on my back porch, this salsa was an obvious choice to bring to a party! I knew the dip would be delicious, if only I […]
Creamy, Tangy Avocado Dip Recipe
Kevin and I were a bit skeptical about the combination of yogurt and avocado, but with 5 fresh avocados in the house, we thought, “Why not?!” Boy are we glad we put on our grown-up-pants and tried Maria’s recipe! This dip is outstanding!! We love traditional guacamole, but this puts a whole new spin on […]
Refried Beans Recipe {from dry pintos}
I have become a big fan of refried beans–especially now that Kevin and I have, what we call, “Mexican fiesta” at least once a week. I make a quick batch of pico de gallo and guacamole. We doctor up a can of refried beans. He grabs the chips and sour cream. And we’re off to deliciousness! […]
Mango, Avocado, Black Bean Salsa
For a unique salsa with the freshest, most exotic ingredients, this is your recipe. The flavors meld beautifully and it looks just as stunning as it tastes. A quick and easy appetizer, snack, or side dish. OR if you’re Kevin and me–a complete lunch using Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips. :) Mango, Avocado, Black Bean […]
Salsa from Canned Tomatoes
I am still absolutely in love with the homemade-with-tomatoes-from-my-garden Salsa Recipe, but for the months when tomatoes are not in season, this recipe is top shelf amazing. I don’t know how I never thought of this before, but using canned diced tomatoes is brilliant and delicious. I’m fairly certain I’m never going to be buying the over-cooked, […]
Taco Layer Dip {low fat}
It was Super Bowl Sunday. It was also just hours after saying good to the last student after a weekend of leading a trip of 27 to a youth conference. We were tired. We wanted rest and relaxation. And we wanted a private party chock full of delicious Super Bowl snacks. While Kevin cooked up […]
Fresh Guacamole
First of all, I must apologize for the poor appearance of this guacamole. I misread the directions and mashed all of the ingredients together at the same time–resulting in smushed tomatoes throughout the beautiful green avocado (aka–not pretty.) Besides the slight discoloration of this dip, the flavor is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I love the fresh ingredients, […]
Buffalo Chicken Dip
If you are hosting a party for any occasion, please pleeeeease make this chicken dip. It’s the tastiest, most addictive appetizer I’ve ever encountered. Though it’s not all that great to look at, anyone who takes one bite of this stuff slathered on a Ritz cracker will keep coming back for more. My one word of advice […]
