We took a trip to the tropics this week and sampled some fresh juices. The kids made cucumber, carrot, and watermelon juices. They were so colourful we had to continue on the island theme with some Caribbean spiced chicken, Papaya and Pineapple salsa, and herbed rice. The food was a hit but the big winner was the watermelon juice. Mmmmmmmmmm!
Caribbean Spice 1 tsp ground Allspice 1Tbsp Pineapple juice 1 Lime, zest and juice 1 tsp Brown sugar Combine spices. Can be used to marinate chicken or pork, or add to fish just before grilling (leaving fish in citrus juices will "cook" the fish) Papaya and Pineapple Salsa 1/2 Papaya, diced 1/2 cup Pineapple, diced 1 Tbsp Mint, chopped 1/2 Lime, juiced Combine and let sit for 10 minutes. Serve with chicken, fish, or pork. Herbed Rice 2 cups Basmati rice, cooked 1/4 cup Mint, chopped 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped Cook rice according to instruction and let cool, slightly. Add herbs and serve with Caribbean spiced chicken and salsa.

I could not have said it greater myself! I believe we need to locate an additional strategy to detoure the humans without devestating the nature and wildlife right here. Thanks for sharing.
