Fruit Salsa With Cinnamon Chips

My friend Lacee D. first introduced me to this recipe and I cannot tell you how many times I have made it this summer! So darn good! It's an addiction you can feel good about! Below is an exact recipe, but you really can add whatever you want. Today I did fresh pears, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes and peaches because that is what I had on hand. It was delish!

Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
1 medium navel orange sectioned and chopped
3 medium kiwi fruit, peeled and finely chopped
1 8oz. can unsweetened crushed pineapple drained
1 Tb. fresh lemon juice (or lime works great)
1-1/2 tsp. sugar (Optional, it really doesn't need it!)

Cinnamon Chips
10 flour tortillas (8 inch)
1/4 cup melted butter (can use non-stick spray instead)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:
In a small bowl combine first 6 ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving. For chips brush tortillas with butter (or non-stick spray). Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cut into eight wedges Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or just until crisp. Serve with fruit salsa.

Blueberry Pancakes & Buttermilk Syrup - Mindee

I had some fresh blueberries on hand so we decided to try these! They were pretty good, not to sweet and they baked up nice. For the syrup, I am usually pretty loyal to maple but Sylvia (my sis in law) was telling me about a buttermilk syrup she had tried and my mouth was watering just listening to her describe it. I could seriously eat this syrup by the spoon fulls.....so good!!! Thanks for the idea Sylvia!

Todds Famous Blueberry Pancakes (allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 Tb. baking powder
• 1 1/4 tsp. white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 Tb. butter, melted
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, thaw first)

In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt , baking powder, and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries (Mine were fresh so I just sprinkled them on as soon as the batter hit the griddle). Set aside for 1 hour (We didn't wait that long, and they turned out fine!). Heat a lightly oiled griddle over med/high heat. Pour batter onto griddle using 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Buttermilk Syrup (allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
• 2 Tb. corn syrup
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract (I only used 1 tsp. of pure vanilla)

In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda. Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Make sure to use a larger sauce pan because the syrup rises as you boil it!
