Cilantro, Bell Peppers and Pineapple!


Brian has been focusing on eating healthier, including adding more raw vegetables into his diet.  Rather than getting ideas out of cookbooks, Brian gets creative.  One of his newest dishes that we all LOVE is a chicken soft taco.  But it doesn’t have many of your usual ingredients for a soft taco – no cheese, salsa or sour cream.  Instead, pineapple, bell peppers, onions and cilantro accompany his seasoned chicken fajita meat.   There is something about the combination of pineapple and cilantro that is different but tastes wonderful.  It is quickly becoming our new favorite. 

Through our change in eating, we have discovered that the kids love raw bell peppers of all colors in salads.  Brian also includes raisins and red onions in our now colorful dinner salads.

My grocery shopping trips now include more time in the fresh produce section and less time on the canned goods aisle.  It definitely is a change for the better.
