Salud!

Yes, a rainy, gray Cinco de Mayo…

But, there were sun breaks now and again – YEA!

And I had Mexican food all day long ending with a bowl of halibut enchiladas verde, rice, beans and guacamole for my supper. Every single bite was homemade from the verde (tomatilla sauce) to the corn tortillas to the quacamole, rice (turmeric, cayenne & cumin spiced) and pinquitos. Halibut from Vital Choice (www.vitalchoice.com).

And then, dessert…

Pineapple, mango and orange popsicles.

YES – popsicles!

I’ve been enjoying these Outshine bars.

I like frozen bars/popsicles at night when I’m feeling thirsty/hungry and often too warm … it is zee hot flashes still!!!

Popsicles are my favorite “cure”.

And while the Outshine bars ingredients are not horrible, the list is still longer than my homemade version…

My ingredient list: Pineapple, mango, orange juice (fresh squeezed).

That’s it. No added sugar or other sweetener. Add the fruit to the Vitamix, blend, pour in the molds, then freeze.

Salud!
