food love: cantaloupe salsa + salsa fresca

i think it was in michoacan, mexico where i was first given cantaloupe salsa... my friends and i all met in the hilly middle-of-nowhere town of patzcuaro one summer and someone actually made it for me. i remember it was so simple and unlikely but tastes so good!

cantaloupe salsa:
half a cantaloupe, diced
a handful of cilantro, chopped
juice from 1 lime
half a small red onion, chopped
salt + pepper to taste

mix together and enjoy! *in this version i actually added a whole mango, so mango is nice variation.

i also made salsa fresca here, which goes like this:
2 tomatoes, diced
half a lemon, juiced
half a small onion, chopped
a handful of cilantro, chopped
salt + pepper to taste

these are super easy to make and so good in nice weather. 

food love: kale addiction

i should start a new blog called "i just want a shit ton of kale." i honestly can't get enough of it. i thought i was obsessed before my blueprint cleanse, but now i'm an addict (of kale, let's not forget).
anyway, this is a pic of what i made for dinner tonite. i feel like a copout like sandra lee of semi-homemade (she buys a bunch of different things that are already made and dumps them into a bowl together. ta daaaa)

RECIPE

kale + kielbasa

chop one *rinsed bunch of kale into large bite-sized pieces. chop about 2 inches of kielbasa from your local greenpoint polish meat store into quarter inch chunks. (if you don't have a polish meat store you may want to consider looking for a new place to live that's closer to a polish meat store.) add the kale and kielbasa to a medium pot with about half an inch of water, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. sautee the kale and kielbasa with the top on and the burner on medium-low for about 5 minutes.
