http://http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/04/sweet-fruit-salsa-with-cinnamon-chips.html
here is the link since they have such pretty pictures plus they have a lot of different fruit options.
basically you pick a fruit from each color group and mix them together with either honey, sugar, powered sugar, etc. The possibilities are endless. top with coconut flakes or cinnamon or mint or whatever.
I made mine with
strawberries
mangos
kiwi
pineapple
blackberries
then added honey and a little bit of sugar.
i also made the baked cinnamon chips to go with it. Ethan took it to a work picnic and said everyone loved it and it was really good. I however haven't tried it cuz of the gestational diabetes. If you try it and like it leave a comment! can't wait to try the dessert nacho idea with the cinnamon chips....cover them with ice cream and caramel or hotfudge sauce! YUM.
I love this new recipe website!

baked creamy chicken taquitos
recipe is from ourbestbites.com
haven't tried it yet but it's what we are having for dinner tomorrow night with some spanish rice and corn and watermelon.
1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheese
small corn tortillas
kosher salt
cooking spray
Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.
You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or are coming unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

Got this recipe from Kim. She says it delish! She also suggested trying it with sausage instead of ground beef so it'd be like pepperoni and sausage pizza. I don't think she's tried it though. Write if you try it and what you thought.

Bruschetta
1 bagette, sliced and toasted
8-10 Roma Tomatoes
1/4 cup EVOO
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 bunch basil - minced
2 garlic cloves - crushed
salt and pepper to taste
soft goat cheese (optional- but don't knock it till you try it like I did.) :o)
Mix all ingredients except the bread and cheese. And it's ready to eat! Bread, cheese then tomato mixture. It is also good with just the tom. mixure on the bread. Enjoy!
These are all approximations and should be done according to taste rather than exact measurements.
Delish!!! I got this recipe from my SIL Katie. We had it when we were down in St. George in Oct.
