Firstly, sorry for the silence…I don’t know why but time seems to move so fast and before I know it, it has been almost a week since I last updated this blog! Time sure do flies, it is already my birthday and I felt as if I just celebrated my last birthday.
Sigh…one year older, a tonne more wrinkles, an even more sluggish metabolic rate, more food turning into padding on my hips and waist…I will have to say, I don’t feel any wiser than last year except more tired, more fat, more . . . → Read More: Chicken Recipes: Healthy salmon and chicken burger

Salsa is actually a very healthy and easy to make sauce that you can bottle up yourself and keep in the fridge. I love to use salsa as toppings for my salads, as part of my spaghetti sauce, as gravy for my rice, as sauce for my sandwiches and even as toppings for mini mushroom pizzas.
So, I am sharing here a recipe of my own home-made salsa sauce:
If you enjoy smoothies and fruit juices, why not make your own at home? All you need are the fruits / vegetables, some ice, water and a blender. It is easy and cheap too!
So, here I present you a recipe for a healthy cooling drink that is both good for health and has a deliciously fresh taste to it!
