Ive been LOVING this mango cilantro salsa recipe I stole from a very (yummy) not healthy dip my friend makes. The topping was a diced mango, diced red pepper, can of black beans and a handful (to taste) of fresh cilantro. Mix together with nothing else and serve over chicken or fish. Eat alone as a side. Or mix in some feta and avocado and you've got yourself a healthy filling summer salad.

I must make this at least twice a week.

If you want the super yummy dip recipe. Take the open and put it over this:

2 8oz cream cheese bricks (room temp)

1 8oz sour cream

1 packet of taco seasoning

I mix with a mixer to make it smooth. Smooth it into a pie dish and cover with the salsa. Serve with whole wheat scoops. Party favorite every time.

I made the stuffed zucchini boats from Skinnytaste when my MIL and BIL came to visit. They were a hit and something different, and would be especially good for those with gardens who have and overabundance of zucchini.

Another one we made recently that is child-friendly (K loved them!):

Sesame chicken strips

Mix in Bowl:

1 c mayo (i used light and eyeballed it)

2 tsp each dried minced onion and mustard powder

mix in seperate bowl:

1 c crushed ritz crackers

1/2 sesame seeds

take about 2 pounds of chicken breast and cut into 1/4 strips (or buy the precut strips). coat in mayo mixture then coat in ritz mixture. arrange on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425 for about 15-18 minutes until chicken is cooked through and coating is crispy. If you want, you can make a dipping sauce with mayo, honey, and dijon mustard to your taste.

These are dairy free and could probably be made without the sesame if you prefer.

Here's one more summer favorite:

Apricot grilled chicken

2/3 cup apricot preserves

1/4 c ketchup

2 Tbsp dijon mustard

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ginger (says to use fresh grated but i usually use ground since its not something i usually have on hand)

Brush on cooked chicken in the last minute or so before taking off grill. This is especially delicious on boneless chicken legs but we've done it on breasts as well.

I just tried a new slow cooker recipe this week that was a huge hit.

Cranberry Chicken for Slow Cooker

2-1/2 to 3 pounds chicken thighs and/or drumsticks, skinned (I used 3 lbs boneless, skinless thighs) 1 16-ounce can whole cranberry sauce 2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix (I used 1 packet) 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca 3 cups hot cooked rice

Directions

Place chicken pieces in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, dry soup mix, and tapioca. Pour over chicken pieces.
Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked rice. Makes 6 servings.

Asian grilled pork chops:

http://www.food.com/recipe/asian-grilled-pork-chops-137142

I was so hesitant to grill pork chops since I was sure we'd overcook and they'd be tough.

This was a great recipe! I added a little pineapple juice since I had an open can and a little more garlic since we love garlic and I pierced the chops too so they would suck up more of the marinade

My husband was careful with grilling and they were perfect - cooked and juicy

We all liked it. I can't remember the last time all four of us liked the same meal!

I'm in such a cooking rut.....ok well, not even rut - I barely have time to cook since I've been coming home at 10-11pm from work pretty regularly. But I save most of these recipes!

I think it time for a recipe post.....
