Mango Salsa

This past week an Arctic Blast has whipping through Delaware, and it has been so c-o-l-d. While I know other parts of the country have it worse, but here on the East Coast, we don't usually see temperatures that low. They even had a 2-hour delay for most of the area schools because the temperature was only 10F in the morning.

I decided that if I couldn't get the weather to cooperate, I'd bring some color and a little bit of heat back in the form of this bright, citrusy treat. If you're anything like me, you're looking at this Mango Salsa and longing for the warmer nights of Summer. The bright flavors and combination of ingredients balance the heat of the Jalepenos perfectly. Served with warmed tortilla chips or alongside a chicken breast marinated in my honey chipotle sauce, you can't go wrong. This recipe can't get any easier and it only takes ten minutes to whip up.

Now, I need other recipes to help us warm up! If you have any ideas, respond in the comments!

Romertopf Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make.

Romertopf White Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make! Clay pots or earthen-ware may be the oldest type of cookware ever found. In fact, they've been unearthed by archaeologists at historic sites all over the world! We know that these ancient civilizations put these clay pots in the glowing embers of fires, and used them to bake, roast, poach, and braise all sorts of meals. I admit that I'm new to clay pot cooking. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful covered Romertopf roaster for Christmas and when I started learning about how to use it, all I could think about was bread . I make a lot of bread in my oven, but I was incredibly excited to try it in a clay pot! After all, I reasoned, this would have to be as close to an authentic brick oven as I was likely to get, and I couldn't wait to get started. The basic bread recipe, which was included with my cookware, was the first one I tried. Because you soak both pieces of the clay pot p

Pot Roast - the perfect one pot meal

Sunday night supper: Pot roast, and mashed potatoes and gravy Pot roast is a great choice for lazy Sundays when you want a special meal, but you don't want all the work. With just a little bit of prep in the morning, you can just pop this in the oven and cook it "low and slow" all day long. The end result is simply perfection. And best of all - nothing beats a good roast beef sandwich made with the leftovers. Click below to read more.

Homemade Antibacterial Lavender Surface Cleaner

Homemade cleaners are better for you, your family, the environment, and your pocketbook. This particular cleaner is perfect for just about all messes, and it's antibacterial too. The best part of all is how easy it is to make. Prior to this cleaner, I had been using a simple 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water, but I wasn't satisfied with it for a couple of reasons. The smell was awful, and it took a long time to dry - even after wiping it off with a towel. Armed with just a few common household ingredients, I created a spray cleaner that is perfect for surface cleansing. The ingredients kill bacteria, and the final product is superior to commercial cleaner (in my humble opinion). It smells GREAT too! Give it a try - and be sure to check back here and let me know how you made out!
