Always Remember Altitude!

On the last day of 2010, my husband and I decided to break out our new bread maker!

Since we're impatient and didn't read the entire manual, we missed the section on altering recipes when you're cooking at high altitudes (we live at just over 4,500ft).

What we got sure isn't pretty, but it still tastes pretty darn good!

Happy Holidays & a Tasty Salsa!

It's been a little quiet on the blog front, I've been enjoying the holidays with my family, but I have a few posts scheduled for the near future! Don't think I'm abandoning anything just yet!

My husband is trying out a new diet which means there will be fewer opportunities for me to try out fun new recipes! I'm not following it as strictly, so I'll still be throwing some fun food in there occasionally! When you have someone on a diet in the family, the struggle to make food fun and tasty becomes even harder! Since this diet is mainly about calorie intake, I have to be really careful about the things I'm making! 

Last night I wanted to make a "sauce" for the steak I was making so I mixed:

1/4 jar Pace chunky mild salsa

2 chopped plum tomatoes

1/2 jar chopped Kalamata olives with a good amount of their juice

2 tsp capers

2 tbsp water

dashes of salt, pepper, and Cavender's Greek seasoning

It was DELICOUS!!! It's very low calorie but packs a TON of flavor! I'm going to use the leftovers when I make chicken breasts tomorrow night!
