To be honest I have not always been a fan of salsa. Before this year I never even went near the stuff. I was a “don’t let that lime juice, cheese, or whatever else, come near my fruit”, kind of girl. If I wanted a peach, I just wanted a peach. Not a peach with some grilled corn, a jalapeño and some spices. So what the heck changed? Well, for one I have been reading Jessica’s blog for years and I 100% blame her for planting this whole fruit salsa concept in my brain. If anyone loves fruit salsa more than me, it is her. All I have to say is thank you Jessica! Best obsession possible! Second? When I started this blog, I realized I needed to try some different things for the sake of not coming across as totally boring (which, I am). The rest is all history and I am now addicted to fruit salsa. For the next two and half months expect tons of fruit salsa on pretty much everything I post. You name the fruit and my guess is that by the end of the summer I will have turned it into some kind of weird sounding salsa, that I of course, promise will be delicious.
I am sorry if you are not into this whole concept of fruit in your salsa and all over your food. Lucky for you it can always be left out. But really you should just make it, because I think you’ll really like it. For example, my Dad who was just like me and thought fruit was only to be eaten in its original pure form, is now convinced it’s a darn good thing. I heard through the grapevine that he was telling his buddies down at the gym all about the fruit salsas. If he tells the dudes at the gym, then it has to be good. Trust me. He only tells those guys about the good stuff. They’re some of his very favorite people.
Here’s the deal, I think it is time for some healthy food. Ugh. Boring! I know, but after those cookies yesterday, the homemade coconut caramel snickers bars on Sunday, the milkshake on Friday… and the post I have coming up… I think some healthy food is needed. I am even thinking salad tomorrow, not sure, but I am thinking it.
Honestly, we do not just shovel in sweets day in and day out. I like salads, lots of quinoa, and well sometimes I’ll even throw in a healthy dessert…. Sometimes. Oh and I know the whole cheesy polenta thing may sound well cheesy, but in my brain cheese is considered a health food. Protein, calcium – both healthy things! Plus, aren’t they saying salmon is one of the healthiest fish in the sea? I’d say this is a pretty dang healthy meal, I mean so colorful!
Oh and the blackened seasoning on the salmon is so gooood!! Like crazy awesome, definitely one of my favorite ways to do salmon and also my go-to salmon seasoning! Oh and it’s just a little bit spicy, which I read somewhere that spicy foods are good for your metabolism. They are also good for boosting the immune system. Score!
Okay, excited yet?
