Salsa is the way to this girl’s heart

The next time you are headed to the hospital, be sure to sneak some salsa in with you. It’s the perfect cure for those hospital meal blues. After fasting for a day before my surgery and only drinking beef broth the night after, I had a hard time looking at the grey turkey roll-ups for dinner and the french toast that was the same color as the sausage the next morning. Luckily, my husband smuggled some salsa into my room. Two kinds! And a big bag of chips, no less. What can I say? The man knows the way to my heart.
Seriously, the salsa made everything taste much better and turned it into something you might even want to eat. I put the Goldwater’s Brand Sedona Red Hot Salsa on the turkey and the Goldwater’s Mojave Mango Salsa on the french toast. No, I’m not kidding. I actually put it on the french toast. The mango salsa is not sweet. It’s more like a chutney so it turns the french toast into a savory dish that save you the calories and fat of syrup and butter. It was even good on the sausage patty. I thought it was sort of brilliant even if I do say so myself. I do have to admit that it would taste much better if the mangos were fresh.
So, if your aren’t checking in to the hospital soon (I certainly hope you’re not!) try these recipes for unusual things to do with mango salsa/chutney.
