Mango Salsa - Tropical Mango Salsa by SalsaCrazy #mangosalsa

We love a little spice in our life. I enjoy cooking and so does my hubby but you have to keep it fresh and use a variety of ingredients to keep meals exciting. This is especially important when you cook healthy. The great thing is that, these days, you have tons of options for condiments and add-ins to always keep your palate guessing. 

We both work full-time and some nights are a little harried between the fitness routines, kids sports and activities and hubby's own sports and coaching schedule. That is why I love condiments that are ready to roll like this sweet and spicy salsa from Salsa Crazy. You can use it in tons of recipes from a topping for pre-made chicken breasts to fish. I add a bit to pastas or rice salads to add some zing too. 

• Awesome Mango Salsa
• Delicious Tropical Flavor
• Not Too Hot, Not too Sweet - Salsa perfection

It tastes delicious and you can't beat the combination of mango and spice. I think it would be great as a quick snack blended with low fat cottage cheese on crackers or blended with fat-free Hreek yogurt as a veggie dip. Give it a try and let me know where you use it most. 

You can pick up this delicious mango salsa on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Johnsonville sampling through @Crowdtap #SausageFamily #sponsored @jvillesausage

Disclosure: I am a member of the Crowdtap Johnsonville Sausage program and Johnsonville® sent me coupons to review this product.

I was excited to try a new product from Johnsonville because I have had great experiences with their products in the past. My whole family has always been Johnsonville fans...mom swears by their sausages for weekend breakfasts and busy nights. 

There's nothing like breakfast for dinner....it's always fun! The company has always stood for quality products. Now they just made it all even easier with several varieties of Johnsonville Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage.

I picked up the Johnsonville Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage in the Turkey variety.  The whole family loved them. They were juicy and flavorful...it was a fast change from the usual wait for them to cook we often have in the weekend. 

My one thing I really wish Johnsonville would do is have some of their products be organic. That would be so great...I would eat them even more often. Especially now since they cook up in the grill pan or microwave in a minute! 

I know Johnsonville products are widely available at my favorite grocery stores here in the mid-Atlantic. I found them at my local Stop & Shop.  Let me know how these Johnsonville Fully Cooked Sausages go over with your family.

Weeknight dinner idea: Sunnyside Tortilla Veggie Wrap

Once again, driving around and this idea for Sunnyside Tortilla Veggie Wraps popped into my head as a quick dinner which you could mostly prep ahead. Mix 'n match your veggies to what you have. I was too tired to do more but you could add vegetarian or turkey sausage, grilled chicken, shrimp or even meat to amp up the protein for everyone or just select guests. Sometimes I do that based on our diet needs since hunky hubby is a vegetarian (sigh...more work but I 💗 him and he does do a lot of the cooking!)

I sautéed up 2 chopped cloves of garlic in olive oil then I added 1 chopped onion. After another two minutes I added some chopped red and yellow sweet peppers. Add more for a larger group. Chopped cherry tomatoes would also be good to add to the mix or zucchini I think. 

Meanwhile, I grilled up a block of organic tofu that I had sliced the long way into four pieces. I like to grill it because it gets a bit crispy on the sides and builds a good texture. I grill about 15 minutes each slide on medium in a grill pan on the stove until each side is golden brown. Let cool a minute then slice into one-inch pieces. 

Add the tofu to the almost finished grilled veggies. Heat up a frying pan and cook sunny-side up or broken cooked yolks or scrambled...your preference) one egg per serving/per person. 

Heat up large or small tortillas...I use whole wheat ones. If you are cutting carbs you can use Romaine leaves instead of tortillas. Drop you preferred style of cooked egg in, add your grilled veggies and top with salsa and or hot sauce. I love my Sriracha but you enjoy any way you like.
