Pineapple Salsa



I added grilled tilapia to the menu this week.

I have to admit:

if it's not grilled salmon, I don't make a lot of fish stuff.

I'm not really sure why.

I think I'm afraid!

I don't have too much experience cooking fish.

So I don't really have a great technique.

Also, I don't want my house to smell like fish . . .

for days!

I'll forgo eating healthy omega 3 stuff

for not having a smelly fish house.

Truth.

With grilled tilapia on the menu, I decided we needed something with the fish.

Like a salsa.

I see it in the magazines all the time.

After all, don't most of your dinners look like something out of a magazine?

Yeah, mine either!

Since my boy cherub was home, studying for final exams, he took a break and helped me.

Together we created this little sauce to top our fish.

Honestly, we didn't measure a single thing.

We threw the ingredients into a blender and went with it.

For you, I'm giving a real guess of how much stuff we put into our salsa. 

But trust your eyes and mouth -- do you like what you see and does it taste good?

If you don't want your salsa blended, just chop it.

Either way, it can't be wrong!

Pineapple Salsa

2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
5 strawberries
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/4 lime, peeled and finely chopped
1 TBSP cilantro
1/4 jalapeno, chopped

If you're blending it, place in the container and give quick pulses until it is to your desired consistency.

If you are going "rustic" in the salsa presentation; chop the ingredients small and place in a bowl and stir.

Either way, refrigerate salsa until ready to serve.

Great on fish, chicken, or even with cinnamon chips!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
