A Wish and a Recipe

"This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life." Lynne Buttercup



Hello my fellow bloggers - happy Sunday and the beginning of June. I hope this week has all been a good one filled with positive thoughts and expe
riences. I stumbled across this quote early this morning and wanted to share it with all of you as another week begins. When you are feeling a bit on the down side, when things just aren't going your way - think about this quote and I hope it puts a smile on your face.


During the warmer months i love experimenting with new toppings for salads, grilled veggies, tofu or even fish. Although i usually eat a mostly vegetar
ian diet i do incorporate fish - especially during the warmer months. Fish provides a great source of B vitamins as well as a healthy dose of omega 3 fatty acids!! This week I made an amazing mango-orange salsa - perfect to top just about anything!!!!!


Here's the recipe:
1 ripe mango - chopped

1 clementine orange (or any sweet orange) chopped

1/2 red pepper finely chopped

1/2 can chopped green chipotle peppers

chopped fresh chives

fresh mint leaves

freshly grated ginger

salt and pepper to taste

sugar - i used a teaspoon but this will vary depending how sweet your mango is

Let all of the flavors combine and serve on top of just about anything!!!!! The longer the salsa marinates the more intense the flavors are!!!! The fresh mint is really the key to this recipe.


Enjoy your week!!!

xoxo aimee
