Recipe Share: Stone Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Chips

This is one of those dishes that is magical, because it is appealing to adults, and children, too! (In my house that is a miracle.) It does take some time to prepare, but it's so worth it. The flavors and textures are divine, I say. This recipe comes from one of my favorite chefs and TV personalities, Kelsey Nixon. This is a great dish for summer barbeques or potlucks. I've made it a few times for get togethers with friends, and it's always a hit.

Here's the printable recipe.

Ingredients:
Salsa:
6 cups chopped mixed stone fruit (apricots, cherries, peaches, plums - I used what I could find at my local store and added in strawberries and blueberries, too)
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. minced fresh basil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch kosher salt

Chips:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Directions:
For the salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed stone fruits, honey, basil, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt. Stir to coat the fruit evenly. Taste and season accordingly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the chips: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over both sides of the tortillas. Cut the tortillas into 8 wedges. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes, flipping half way through. Serve with the fruit salsa.

Make this soon! You'll love it!

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned. I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them. And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much. The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them. This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. It is also very satisfying to know that you're eating veggies in your breakfast!! And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Toast your bread, and enjoy together!
