Mango Salsa

It's the time of year for grilling and thankfully we've had enough moisture to lower the burn ban in our area. Last night was "Grilled Salmon" night and so I wanted something summer fresh to go with it. The fresh lime and cilantro in this recipe is what made it so refreshing. The hubby, who normally doesn't like fruit mixed in with his dinner (especially in salads), gave this one a thumbs up.

It's also time for the garden to start producing, so we paired it with fresh potatoes, carrots, garlic, onions and chards from our garden. Yummy!!




Spanish Rice

One of the staples in our house is cooked rice-specifically Spanish Rice. The hubby doesn't handle cayenne, chili powder or heavy tomato-based products very well, so he sent me in search of a spanish rice recipe that didn't really have any of that.  I've already cooked this delicious one twice in a month!! It's cumin based and so delicious. [I substitute the tomato sauce with a can of un-drained Rotel.]
