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...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
