Happy Friday to all and to all a good weekend!
Today is suppose to get up to about 60degrees which shows that spring will be here quite soon! With the weather warming up and getting tired of the hearty soups, chilli's and other heavy, stick to your bones kind of meals I have taken to the super market to see whats going on. I have expressed my love for trader joes many times but here it goes again, they were recently highlighted in Forbes magazine or was it Finance, don't remember (obviously not something I have a subscription to but found in a waiting room). It is owned and operated by the same company as Aldi with a German base but corporate is extremely private. Love it!
I am sure there will be more days up ahead where a warm soup will be desired (it is March in Chicago, you never know what you will get) but I have turned to protein and fruits.
Salsa is such a great compliment to main entrees, chicken, steaks, fish or pork. Drop the ketchup and mustard use salsa as a garnish and topping. And I'm not just talking tomatoes, cilantro, onion,jalapenos, garlic, and the usual suspects. My brother makes a mean red pepper and mango salsa. Black bean salsa is great on burgers and steaks, or go with peach salsa for your fish, chicken and other light meats. Not a meat eater? mix small chopped mango, apples, grapes, and bananas together with some cinnamon chips for a great dessert.
Salsa is just a vessel or idea, what you choose to put in it can be mixed up with your tastes and feelings that day.
Hope all enjoy the weekend, try something new, add a little variety!~
