Another Yumsy in My Tumsy

I remember when I was little, I loved helping my mom in the kitchen.  I wanted so much to be her little helper, and learn how to do everything she does.  That woman can do no wrong in the kitchen.  But as I grew up, I never really developed that love for cooking and all things domestic.  I am a self-proclaimed messy girl.  I'd rather spend a day in the park than at home cleaning and cooking.  Can you really blame me???  But the more I learned about the dangers of processed foods and thought about the long-term effects of how I was eating, the more I realized that in order to be able to go to the park and chase my kids I needed to start enjoying making food for myself.  I have to say, I am loving coming up with new recipes and different ways to mix flavors.  Homemade, organic, healthy, AND delicious!  My latest creation is Mango Shrimp Salad:

Ingredients:

1 Avocado
15 Cherry Tomatoes
1/3 Large English Cucumber
Cilantro (Eyeballed)
1 Mango
1/2 White Onion
20-30 Medium Shrimp
1T Lime Juice
1T EVOO
Salt/Pepper to taste

Directions:
Chop, mix, EAT!
