Peanut Hiccup Dip

Next
Stir in 1/4 cup of any jelly or preserves. [I use cherry or pineapple]

Add 1 or 2 tablespoon of rum. [Captain’s Morgans Spiced Rum is my favorite]
Chill and serve with apple slices and strawberries.
Come on Ice Cream Salsa

3 tablespoons of minced cilantro
11/2 to 2 tablespoons of lime juice
1 or 2 teaspoons of olive oil
3 chopped jalapenos
2 chopped chipote peppers
½ to 1 teaspoon of minced garlic [Garlic to taste]
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon and 1 shot of tequila [1 teaspoon is for the salsa, the shot is for you!]
Mix all ingredient together in a glass bowel and chill over night.

I use this on grilling chicken.
*Note: Do not use a plastic container you will never get the taste out of it. Metal containers may react to the ingredients.
A friend of mine recently suggested that I check out this website. She thought that my interests would be greatly reflected in the articles posted. I haven't had a chance to do much browsing yet but I think that I will really enjoy this site! I'm a young professional working in marketing/pr in the Washington DC area and I'm very interested in learning more about having a healthy and green lifestyle.
I just wanted to say hello and then mention that these recipes sound delicious! The salsa sounds like a must try and I like the suggestion of serving with grilled chicken. I'm always looking for new ways to serve chicken.
