Pepper Crusted Pork with Peach Salsa

Two words that come to my mind when I think of summertime cooking are 'refreshing' and 'fruit'. I had found a peach salsa recipe idea that I thought would be great to try some summer evening. I adapted it to suite our needs and I think it would go good with chicken or pork or maybe even fish.

Tonight`s menu was Pepper Crusted Pork with Peach Salsa, Spinach Salad, & 1/2 cup Jello Fat Free Chocolate Pudding with a dollop of Cool Whip.

We had bought a big hunk of pork a couple of weeks ago and before freezing it Millard prepared into a few meals including pepper crusted boneless chops. For tonight's meal all I had to do was thaw the pork, make the salsa and prepare the salad & pudding.

First I prepared my Roasted Red Peppers on the grill. Then I took 2 peaches and peeled and diced them and tossed them in a bowl. They smelled so refreshing!


I then diced the half a cup of both yellow and red peppers.

Diced & added the red onions

Mixed it up, added lime juice, chili powder, pepper & it was done!


Once plated it looked & tasted delicious! We had to cut the peppered crust off the children's pork because it had quite a kick of spice to it. Christian didn't like the peach salsa & Alexander picked through it to eat the peaches only. :) Both myslef and Millard enjoyed it!

Mango-Avocado Salsa with BBQ Chicken

One of my favorite foods in the whole wide world is avocado. It's a great thing to love because they have nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid. The only thing that I need to be careful with is that they are loaded with calories as well. One whole medium sized avocado is a whooping 250 calories! I was recipe searching back in April and came upon a mango-avocado salsa that I just had to try. We've had mango salsa many times before, but adding avocado was a whole new ball game. It was quite simple... cubed avocado, mango (I used frozen), and tomato, plus some diced red onion. Mix it all up and there you go. I served it over BBQ grilled chicken. Usually we have our chicken smothered with BBQ sauce, but this time I only marinaded it in some Budwiser brand BBQ sauce. Millard put it on the grill and held off on the extra sauce. It was a good choice. Our sides were sauteed a mix of fresh and frozen peas and asparagus.

BBQ Chicken Rub

Yup, chicken again! Don't be surprised if we start clucking soon. We do tend to eat quite a lot of chicken anyway, but we recently hit a good sale on whole chicken legs so we took full advantage of it. What's bbq chicken without seasoning? Only thing is we are cutting our sodium intake these days. Most bought mixes are absolutely full of sodium... not heart healthy! So... I searched online and found a low sodium rub at www.LowSodiumCooking.com : Rub #2 - The Mild One A sweeter, less spicy rub for grilling and smoking. 1/2 c Paprika 2 T Black Pepper,Freshly Ground 1/3 c Brown Sugar 2 T Chili Powder 2 T Onion Powder 2 T Garlic Powder Mix well, store in a cool dark place. Yield: 22 Servings 'The Mild One' was rubbed on the chicken and grilled to perfection. Of course I took the fat off first! It was very tasty and crusted nicely on the outside, but was moist and tender on the inside. I served it with Corn on the Cob with just a little chili seasoning sprink...

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!
