I haven’t exactly been the best so far this summer about my eating habits.  I was on such a good roll a while back until I got the flu and it flew straight out the window.  Most people don’t want to eat when they get sick but that’s all I want to do.    Seriously… what else is there to do when you’re stuck in the house because you’re basically quarantined from society for a week?!

This fruit salsa right here is the best of both worlds.  It’s healthy AND satisfies your sweet tooth craving… a win-win situation!  

And besides, I totally needed to re-photograph this fruit salad when I made it.   (Can you say over-exposed or what???)

The homemade cinnamon chips are crazy easy to make.  It’s simply brushing flour tortillas with butter, sprinkling a mixture of cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg on them, slicing and baking.

All of that delicious fruit with a little honey, lime juice and chopped fresh mint is a total flavor EXPLOSION.

Enjoy!
