To tell you the truth, I toned down the spiciness.  The salsa cruda was made with three fresh diced beefsteak tomatoes, one diced sweet onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, pinch of sea salt, and just a teaspoon of minced serrano pepper.  Normally, I would put in two wholes serranos!

And the queso dip was just Velveta, melted, stewed tomatoes, and some mild peppers.  Much like the Rotel recipe.

It was a fun time, and the charity walk waddle  begins in 4 hours.

My middle daughter has Crohn's.  So, this weekend is the Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis charity walk in Santa Barbara.  Last night we hosted many of our team's walkers to a barbecue.  One was in from out of state, and another had driven down from the Bay Area.

One of these days I'll donate to one of those groups... One fewer medication to take the rest of my life would be a good thing .

I just finished my bowl of Special K cereal, I'm still working on my glass of orange juice.

I love Special K cereal.  I got a box of the Vanilla Almond the other day on sale for $2.50

Not so much eating, but tasting.  I spent much of the night preparing "crudités" for my cardio-rehab group tomorrow.  I was doing in to Wednesday, but the Friday session folks were feeling left out!

Crudités are vegetable appetizers.  Sometimes served raw, but mine are briefly blanched in boiling water and then shocked in ice water.  The fun part has been making the four sauces/dressings.  Tonight I made a Southwest Buttermilk Ranch, an Aioli, some Tzatziki, and Green Goddess.  These are all made with just a fraction of the fat and salt as the regular versions of the recipes.  Where a standard version might have sour cream or mayonnaise, I used non-fat sour cream and/or low fat plain Greek yoghurt, and/or low calorie no cholesterol mayonnaise.

The point being, you don't have to "ruin" some heart healthy fresh vegetables with a bunch of fat and salt.

Pineapple chicken Greek style quesadilla  (I used pineapple instead of cucumber)

*Yes, I can hear you salivating*

Removed the skin and trimmed off all the fat from a dozen chicken thighs, sloshed them around in a bowl of sesame oil and dusted each with copious amounts of "Kicken Chicken" herbs and spice combo from Safeway and grilled them slowly keeping the heat in the 300-350 degree range until they were golden brown, covered each side with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, that and a tossed salad with light dressing did the trick.

I could use a little of your type of metabolism myself, I look at something sweet and gain ten pounds automatically!

The ones I had are angus beef franks. Pretty good. I usually get some kind of beef ones, the chicken and pork ones seem to have dyes and stuff in them too often.
