I'm kind of breaking away from the normal use of this blog and decided to set up a recipe blog so anyone can see what exactly this crazy family eats every day. We are very consistent and dedicated to good health. We have a unique way of eating that has brought us health and happiness.

I threw a surpise b-day party for Sasha yesterday...some of our friends brought some yummy treats that I had to share.

 

Michelle Lowry shared this recipe. Thanks Michelle!! 

 

Pineapple, Allspice and Lime

1 ripe pineapple
1 lime
1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 tsp allspice

1.  Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters and remove the core.
2.  Loosen the pineapple by sliding a knife between it and the skin.  Cut the pineapple flesh into thick slices.
3.  Remove a few shreds of rind from the lime and set aside, then squeeze out the juice.
4.  Combine the allspice and brown sugar or honey.
5.  Sprinkle the pineapple with the lime juice and rind, sugar and allspice.
6.  Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Red Hot Marion brought some delicious watermelon

Here's how she made it:

Cut up 1 watermelon into medium size chunks ( seedless probably works better)

Chop up one bunch cilantro

Mix together and squeeze the juice or 5 limes over the mixture.

 

I would NEVER have thought of this combo but it was soooo delicious

Luz Lewis brought a delicious salad also. She makes it by combining equal portions of avocado, cilantro and celery...and a few dashes of lime juice. Very good!! It was so fun to see everyone yesterday and the food was great!!

 

I made a yummy ground turkey chili

First I soaked 4-5 cups of kidney beans overnight.

I cooked the kidney beans for several hours and made a yummy bean broth while I cooked them that I used in soup today. To the broth I added 1 onion (I just threw the whole thing in) a bunch of parsley, several cloves of garlic, 1-2 T of chili powder, salt and pepper to taste.

While the beans were cooking I cooked ground turkey with onions, orange pepper and garlic which I spiced up with more chili pepper, salt, black pepper. Then I added 3 cans of tomato sauce. When the beans were done cooking I added the meat mixture to the drained beans (I also took out the parsley and onion). I heated them up together and served them with rice, cheese and other toppings...tomatoes, avocado etc. :)
