mango salsa with a touch of habanero :)

Our freezer is filled with fish thanks to Spencer's deep sea fishing trip. We grilled up some Mahi Mahi on Sunday and topped it off with this recipe. It was SO GOOD!!! We also put it on grilled chicken and it was delish!

Combine:

1 C sweet kernal corn

1 lime juiced

1 lemon juiced

1 C grape tomateos, quartered

4 tsp olive oil

1/2 C chopped cilantro

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1 (2 if you're brave) habanero pepper, seeded and finely chopped

mix and chill overnight

last minute, add 4 C chopped mango, stir and serve

Serves 8

Chicken taco filling, microwave caramels, and Christmas meatballs!

 

8-10 frz. chkn. tndrs. or 4-6 breasts
1 jar salsa
2 T taco seasoning
1/4 C water
1 can black beans (rinsed)
1 can corn, drained or 1 C frz. corn

* Place chkn. in crockpot, add salsa, water and taco seas. Cook on high for 3-4 hrs. Shred chkn. w/ fork. Add beans and corn and cook for 30-45 more min. Serve with crisp or soft corn tort. and lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sr. cream.

this is a nice change from beef taco meat.

 

These are heavenly and pretty easy, and great as neighbor gifts (so you don't eat the whole batch!).

1 C butter
1 C sugar
1 C br. sugar
1 C karo syrup
1 can sweetened cond. milk

* Melt butter in a lg. microwave safe bowl. Add rest of ing. and stir. Microwave on high for 5 min., stir. Another 5 min., stir. 3 min., stir. Test for hard ball stage by dropping a drop of the mixture in to a cup of ice cold water; pick it up and squeeze it between your fingers. If it's still soft and sticky then cook for 1 min. intervals, testing with the ice water between each min. (this may take another 10-15 min.) Once it is firm, when tested in the ice water, like caramels should be, then pour into a greased jelly roll pan or a 9x13 dish. Allow to cool for a couple of hrs. or until firm, then cut and wrap with wax paper. YUM!

 

Super easy and yummie!

You can make your own meatballs and cook them, then place them in a crock pot with the sauce and cook for a couple of hrs. on low or until hot.......OR, this way....

1 pkg. frz. meatballs
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 12oz. bottle chili sauce
2 T br. sugar
2 T lemon juice

* Combine, pour over frz. meatballs in crockpot and follow pkg. directions. 2 hrs. on high then one hr. on low, I think.
