Fruit Dip

I finally tested this recipe and it is amazing. My waistline will not be thanking me in the morning. Maybe the fact that it is served with fruit will cancel out the bad stuff!

Cream together:
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp grated orange peel
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Now, I could just eat this all by itself. But, it is supposed to be served with fresh fruit. I had it with an orange, which was perfect! It is great with pretzels too!

Corn Salsa

This has to be my favorite thing to make. I could eat this for every meal and never get tired of it. It is refreshing, sweet, savory...and not so bad for you!

The list:
4 ears fresh corn, or 2 cans sweet corn
1 12oz jar roasted red peppers, chopped
2 avacados
2 green onions, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 jalapeno
3 tbsp minced cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cumin

If I am using fresh corn, I like to boil it for a few minutes first, to get the bright yellow color, but not too much so it gets soggy. You still want that bite to it. If it is not corn season, go ahead and use about 2 cans of sweet corn. Let the corn cool before cutting it off the cobb.

Mix the corn with all the other ingrediants. Chill for a few hours. Serve with chips.

I dont use the jalepenos....too spicy for me. That, and I have an obsession with avacados. So I usually add one more. I like to have a piece with every bite!
