Wow I tried Newman’s Own Pineapple Salsa for the first time and I’m going to have to make room for another Salsa! My favorite is still Newman’s Own Black Bean and Corn Salsa but the Pineapple is awfully close! It’s a completely different Salsa than the Black Bean and Corn. It’s got a little heat from the Jalapenos and then you have the sweetness from the Pineapple, it ends up a perfect match for a Salsa. This would go good over your Eggs at Breakfast or at dinner for a topping for your Baked Potato. I’ll be adding this to the Pantry Stock for sure.

Aloha-peno! A little sweet with a bit of heat.

Today’s Menu: Glazed Grilled Chicken Breast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Asparagus Spears, and Whole Grain Bread

A perfect day outside and fired the grill up! i grilled Miller Amish Boneless Chicken Breast with a Heinz 57 Sauce/Honey Glaze. You think it sounds good, it tastes even better! Grilled the Breasts about 30 minutes and after flipping the Breasts after 15 minutes brushed the Glaze on with about 10 minutes left. The Glaze recipe is just two ingredients, Honey and Heinz 57 Sauce (the recipe is at the nd of the post). Along with the Chicken I had sides of Grilled Asparagus Spears and Idahoan Homestyle Mashed Potatoes along with Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. The Sauce really set the Chicken off, give it a try. For dessert/snack later some Fiesta Salsa along with Chip‘ins Pop Corn Chips.

57 Sauce/Honey Glaze

Today’s Menu: Broiled Mahi Mahi w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice, Mango/Pineapple Salsa, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread

What a dinner! I bought a huge Mahi Mahi fillet and cut it into three fillets for myself and my Mom and Dad. I seasoned the fillets with Sea Salt and Pepper and drizzled them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I broiled the fillets for 5 minutes per side. They turned out perfect! I used Uncle Ben’s Long Grain and Wild Rice. At the end of the post I’ll leave the Mango/Pineapple Salsa recipe and instructions. A really easy and tasty recipe that goes great with Seafood or Pork recipes. The Green Beans were leftover from last night’s dinner and I also had Healthy life Whole Grain Bread. Dessert later tonight a cup of Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Mango/Pineapple Salsa

Ingredients:
2 Cups Chunked or diced Mango. I used Dole Mango Chunks
1 Cup Pineapple diced
Juice of a 1/4 Lime, Use a fresh Lime if you can if not Lime Juice will work
2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Cilantro
Salt, to taste

* Combine all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving
* This goes good over a Sugar Free Angel Food Cake also.
