I have some really yummy recipes to share with you this week! The first one is one that I found years ago for fruit salsa. With warmer weather looming, this is such a fun and tasty treat or a lighter and healthier alternative for dessert! The only down side about this particular recipe is that it is pretty time consuming to make. I only make it on special occasions, but each time that I do, it goes quickly and is accompanied with many compliments. I learned the hard way that you need to chop the fruit by hand instead of using a food processor to try and cut back on time or you will end up with a big runny mess.

Recipe: Fresh Fruit Salsa

Ingredients

1 c. finely chopped Strawberries
1 med. orange, peeled and finely chopped or 1 small can of mandarin oranges well drained and chopped
2 lg. or 3 sm. Kiwifruit, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 c. finely chopped fresh pineapple or one 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, well drained
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions
1/4 c. finely chopped yellow or green sweet pepper
1 T. Lime or Lemon Juice (or 2 tsp. of each)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine all ingredients and chill for 6-24 hours.
If you plan to chill more than 6 hours, stir in strawberries just before serving.
Serve with cinnamon tortilla chips

Recipe: Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Ingredients

Flour Tortillas
Melted Butter
Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

Brush each tortilla with melted butter and then top with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Cut into 8 wedges
Bake at 350 for 5-10 minutes or until slightly brown and crisp
Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.

This second recipe I just happened upon this weekend for Artichoke Chicken and thought that it sounded pretty good. It was very simple and quick to prepare and I love that it only has 4 ingredients. It was absolutely delicious and was even a hit with Joel, who is a bit of a picky eater.
