We have a beautiful Apricot tree that yields tons of fruit!  So this year instead of making Apricot Freezer Jam I'm going to freeze Apricot Fruit Spread .  I just made a cup of it to make sure it was wonderful AND IT IS! ---side note---I know I'm always saying things are AMAZING etc...everything I make is not amazing.  I only put the great stuff on the blog.  There is much that doesn't make the cut...in fact I made bran muffins the other day....trash can.  It was sad. This is the same recipe as the Homemade Strawberry Fruit Spread . Apricot Fruit Spread 1 cup crushed Apricots 1 T corn starch 2 T sugar 1/4 c water I crushed the apricots in this handy tool.  I've had if for 5 years but just barely realized it...lol  That says bad things about my cupboard organization. In a small bowl mix corn starch and sugar add water add mixture to crushed apricots (I took the skin off of mine) in a large microwave safe bowl microwave for 10 min DONE  - makes abo

Have you seen this baby at Costco?  I remember I bought it once last year and I was stressed out because I though it might go bad before I could use it all....lol. Funny what stresses me out. Anyway, my AMAZING friend Mindie told me about adding Mango Salsa to chicken and it is a FABULOUS meal!  I'm not sure if the ease of making it adds to the taste... I used 2 chicken breasts - cut into strips As much Mango Salsa as I needed to cover it Basically you just dump it over chicken...lol...that's it. Bake 30 - 45 min at 350. You can also put the chicken in a freezer bag and just add in the salsa for a quick freezer meal. This is a REALLY good, low calorie meal.  Almost too good, I have to watch my portion size with this one. :):)  I could easily eat most of the pan....my husband is always amazed at my eating skills.  lol

I just got this in the mail the other day and gave it a try.  LOVE IT!  I first tried it in water...not my thing.   But in other drinks!! .....so good!  You can still get a FREE sample here .  The sample also comes with a coupon for $1/1. :)
