Fresh Tomato Salsa with Pineapple

Little pieces of red Tomato, golden yellow Pineapple, vibrant green Cilantro and Jalapeño and the dark red of Red Onion. It looks so good when it’s placed right in front of you.
Don’t you wish you could make a Salsa like the ones you are served in restaurants? All those beautiful colours, vibrant on the plate screaming eat me and your eyes are saying, no problem.
Take a look inside and see if you can find some inspiration. Who knows maybe you might surprise yourself and be making beautiful Salsa in no time.

Yummy Chimichurri Stuffed Mushrooms

A simple recipe with lots of options if you’re in a pinch when guests come over.
A vibrant green Chimichurri sauce topped with a Cheesy Bread topping. If your luck like me and your kids don’t like Mushrooms, then even more for you to eat. Although you may have to share with your partner if you want to keep them happy :).

Drop me line and tell me your favourite thing to stuff Mushrooms with. Or just tell me your favourite way to eat Mushrooms, I’m always looking for a new experience.
