Pineapple salsa- perfect snack for this super hot summer!

My sister spotted this recipe on Facebook and I've been trying to get to it all summer.    I hit the store yesterday, and sat down to put it together with the cutest helper ever, my niece   :)


She was instrumental in counting all the vegetables and telling me what order to dice them in. The blogger removed the pineapple to make a bowl and her presentation was gorgeous, be sure to go check it out.   I didn't do that, I just stripped it down and diced it.   I doubled the recipe, and I admit to not measuring super carefully, some of the cupfuls may have been "heaping"  I'm not a fan of cilantro, my sister is.  I used parsley in mine.   It didn't specify, but I prefer bermuda onions, so that's what I used.   Mine got the jalapeno, hers didn't.    I had gigantic limes, so I only used 2 total, figuring I could always add more later.      

Fruit and salsa has been a pretty recent discovery for me, and I'm sorry that it took me so long.    We're expecting ridiculously high temperatures today.   I'm really looking forward to snacking on this by the pool, maybe with a nice margarita.   It's refreshing and light and delicious.    Thank you so much to Tonia at The Gunny Sack for sharing this recipe!

                 Pineapple Salsa Recipe - The Gunny Sack


  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 cups diced fresh pineapple
 2 cups peppers -- diced (I used orange and yellow)
2 cups  Roma tomatoes -- diced
1T dried cilantro for half batch, 1T dried parsley for other half
     1/2 cup  bermuda onion -- diced
  2                     limes
                        Salt and Pepper
                        Optional: 1 jalapeno -- seeded and diced- used in mine

Combine pineapple, peppers, tomatoes, onion, salt, pepper and lime juice.   I then split this into 2 bowls.   Add cilantro to one bowl, and add parsley and jalapenos to the other bowl.    Refrigerate until serving.

For a special presentation, slice about 1/3 of the pineapple off longways, leaving the green top attached.  Use a knife to run along inside edge and score across the fruit.   Scoop out pineapple, pour out any extra juice and proceed with recipe.   Fill pineapple bowl with salsa and serve.

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!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
