Pineapple Mango Salsa

-

As soon as the spring comes, I get excited for new salads and the refreshing summer fruits that are going to be coming into season. The other day my Whole Foods Market had a ton of these mangoes on sale and I bought a bunch. I made this pineapple mango salsa. I was going to put it over fish for dinner that night but it was so good, we ate it with lunch and it never made it to dinner! I guess that means I'll be making this again to try with my fish. This goes well over chicken or fish, or just as a side dish. I made half this batch with red onion and the other half without since my daughter doesn't like raw onions. I love red onions, but I was surprised that I liked the version without the onion a little better. Try it whichever way you like and leave a comment below and let us know which you prefer!
Ingredients
1 mango diced
2 cups pineapple diced
handful of fresh cilantro finely chopped
juice of half a lime about 2 tablespoons
2 jalapenos diced
1 garlic clove finely chopped
sprinkle of sea salt

optional addition:
1/2 red onion

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Serve right away or refrigerate overnight. I thought this tasted even better the next day!

Jac's Gluten Free Bakery in Hicksville NY

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes. It is great that they are gluten free but what I love even more is that their products are natural, 100% whole grain, use organic unrefined sugars, all natural food coloring and are 80% organic. Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free. I've tried some gluten free bagels but none of them were that good so I'd rather just not have them. Jac's bagels are amazing and taste just like a traditional NY bagel. The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee...

Turkey Broccoli Bites

-
Image
I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into a meal for myself and definitely for my kids. These turkey broccoli bites are the perfect meal paired with a nice big salad or as a snack anytime. They are kid approved! I know because I can barely keep them on the plate as they run by and keep grabbing them. I usually double the batch when making these because they also freeze good for another meal for a busy night during the week. Ingredients 1 lb organic ground turkey 1/4 cup pureed broccoli (I make a batch of pureed broccoli and freeze it in portions to use when needed) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons gluten free bread crumb (you can use Jillians or Chickpea breadcrumbs ) 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt pinch pepper olive oil or coconut oil for cooking Directions In a mixing bowl beat egg and add all ingredients except for turkey. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Add the ground turkey and roll into bite size balls or patties. Heat a large ski...

Interview on Probiotics

-
Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I...
