Pico de Gallo


As the summer comes to an end I leave you with one of my favorite summer treats. I have had this recipe for over 10 years and love it. It uses fresh tomatoes, peppers, cilantro and banana peppers. My kids love to eat this as an after school snack, with chips or cheese quesidillas. It makes me happy to see my kids eat fresh veggies out of the garden and enjoy it! Give it a try, you may never go back to the jar again.





Pico de Gallo
1 bunch green onions
1 whole red pepper, diced
1 whole green pepper, diced
1 whole yellow pepper diced
4 whole banana peppers (found in a jar in the olive section of your grocery store)
2 Tbsp jalapeno peppers, diced
8 whole tomatoes, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1-2 Tbsp salt (add to your taste, the longer it sits the salter it gets)
Mix everything in a food processor, except salt. Add salt slowly until flavor is what you want. Cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
