Margaritas, Salsa, and Mangoes. YUM!!!

Spicy Blood Orange Margarita
  • 1 oz silver tequila steeped in Thai chili peppers for 30 minutes
  • 1 oz cointreau
  • 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 oz blood orange juice

shake this in ice, strain into glass



Tomatillo Salsa
  • 5 tomatillos chopped
  • 5 tomatillos halved
  • 1 T lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 5 serrano chilis, finely chopped
  • 1/4 red onion finely chopped
  • 2 T cilantro, coarsely chopped

Puree the halved tomatillos with the lime juice
stir in the rest of the ingredients

Excellent with carnitas, grilled fish, with scrambled eggs, in tacos and burritos and stirred into plain yogurt with some chopped avocado!


Sticky Oats and Mango breakfast

This was inspired by some yummy Sticky Rice and Mango I had at the House of Siam in Morgan Hill. It is O2 safe!

Boil 1 c water with a dash of salt.
Stir in 1/3 cup oat bran cereal (or oatmeal) and cook until all water absorbed, about 3 minutes.
Spoon into bowl

Stir 1/2 tsp sweetened condensed milk into 1/3 c plain nonfat Greek yogurt (I prefer Oikos organic over Fage)

Top hot cereal with yogurt mixture
Chop 1/2 fresh mango and spoon on top of cereal and yogurt

Sprinkle with 1 T toasted coconut and 1-2 T chopped macadamia nuts or pecans

SUPER YUMMY!
