According to the Nutrition Action Health Letter (July/Aug. 2009),…

Here’s a really fast, easy, and delicious way to make an entrée: Use salsa as a sauce (that’s what the word “salsa” means to begin with)! Buy an inexpensive jar of tomato salsa (mild, medium or hot) and spoon it over grilled, baked or broiled chicken, fish, pork or beef. Better yet, make your own…

This is a really different, delicious, and healthy dessert.  It’s a spectacular finish to a barbecue grilled dinner of any sort – as it goes well with any grilled meat or vegetable.  It’s my own original creation, and I’ve never seen it done anywhere before.  Serves 4. 4 Wood or Metal skewers.2 apples, peeled and…
