Fresh Strawberry Salsa

June is National Fruits & Vegetables Month! The thing I most look forward to in June is strawberries.   We're very lucky to live around lots of farms, and we make going to pick a family outing.   Usually we bring home somewhere around 15 pounds.   We leave some for snacking, a bunch gets turned into jam, and then I like to try a handful of new recipes.   One of this year's picks is this Fresh Strawberry Salsa from Taste of Home.

I made some very minor changes to the recipe. I'm not a fan of green bell pepper, so I used red and orange. I had beautiful heirloom cherry and grape tomatoes on hand, so I quartered them up and used those. I had serranos, so I used those instead of the Anaheim.  Sadly, I am in the "cilantro tastes like soap" camp, so I used fresh parsley instead.

This is such a great dish.  So fresh and colorful.  I love all of the textures and flavors.  It's great on top of chicken in a wrap or on it's own with some tortilla chips.   Thank you to Nancy W. for sharing her recipe! Thanks also to Ellen from Family Around the Table for hosting and to all of the #FoodieExtravaganza participants for sharing their recipes!

      I really just started branching out into fruit versions a few years back. There's a pineapple one that we absolutely love, and a watermelon one too. https://jolenesrecipejournal.blogspot.com/2016/08/pineapple-salsa-perfect-snack-for-this.html

    I am cutting back on the chips for a bit so I may want to try this on some fresh salad greens. Or spoon it over some grilled fish or chicken. Yum!

      It was great on top of chicken! I found some Chia and Quinoa chips that were very good :)

    Congratulations on the feature at Friday Frenzy. I had to come and check out your website even though the link on the feature went to the Chili Dog Pizza on Marilyn's Treats. This is a very unique strawberry salsa which I am anxious to try. Thank you for sharing.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi
