Oh, I love this thread!!!

Fruit Salsa

2 mangos
2 oranges
2 Granny Smith apples
1 pint fresh or 1 cup frozen raspberries
1 red onion
1-2 jalapenos, membrane and seeds removed (wear gloves)
2 roma tomatoes
2 nectarines
2 peaches

Dice all of the above (the jalapeno smaller). Mix together and add the juice of one lime. Stir well...chill until cold. Serve with Tostitos or other corn tortilla chips.

The sweetness of the fruit and the saltiness of the chips together is really good. And you can basically add any kind of fruit to it that you like.

Good Morning Ladies Donna good for you on your WI. Tell your DH we all have ups and downs with diets, just don't let it get you down and keep going. Sounds like you two are having fun with changing your eating life style and that is what it is all about making it work for you :) Guess what my DD told me to go to KOHL's and look for Lee brand jeans in the Tried and True style, her and I both have booties and it is hard to find pants to fit our waist without taking them in or wearing a belt, I hate belts I am bulky enough on my own! I found them they looked great BUT they were not on sale and Lunchlady does not buy unless it is on sale and I have a coupon for extra % off. I did spy some crop pants which I love, same brand same type style and they fit great, were on sale and I had a 15% coupon AND a $10 gift card I had gotten in the mail from the store!! The beauty of these pants is they come 9/10~~11/12 sized. I have not seen that in ages, the 9/10 too tight in the waist the 11/12 just right:) That is my problem my waist is not as small as the rest of me~~I have to go up a size to fit it. I will be getting these jeans for work as soon as they go on sale since I throw away all of my trusty big ones I liked so well~~~had too or DD's would burn them LOL!! I am off to visit my mom and my brother today in the next county and wearing my new crop pants:) Also a cute fall top my quilting pals gave me. Have a good one!!

Hey, I'm glad you like this thread! I just thought it would be great to share recipes. So far the ones I've posted, I've made, but sometimes I see one that just looks delicious, and thought, why not share?

Vicki, I've saved yours and sent it to my DD and DSis. This is right up their alley. They'll love it! Thanks!

This is what I'm making, today, for my potluck lunch gathering, tomorrow! Hope it turns out good.

Lemon Cream Salad
10 ounces lemon-lime carbonated beverage
1 cup miniature marshmallows
6 ounces cream cheese
1 (6-ounce) package lemon flavored gelatin
20 ounces frozen red raspberries in syrup, drained **Using blueberries
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup whipped topping (recommended: Cool Whip brand)

In a saucepan over low heat, combine lemon-lime beverage, marshmallows and cream cheese and stir until smooth. Remove mixture from heat and add lemon-flavored gelatin until dissolved. Stir in thr raspberries, pineapple and pecans and chill until mixture is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Fold in whipped topping and pour into a lightly oiled 5 cup gelatin mold. Chill until firm and serve.

Hope it tastes as good as it looks!
