"Fruit Salsa" - My friend Anita Starke has some very innovative recipes! She's an interior designer, and she's just as creative in the kitchen as she is decorating.

Perfect anytime - and would be a fun addition to an Easter Brunch! This is April's recipe.

"Texas Javelina" - the first painting for the calendar! Inspired by a recipe from Nancy Pearson Smith for Mexican Macaroni, which includes pork. She often uses Javelina (a wild "pig") because her husband hunts them in S. Texas. And they both attended Texas A&M University - Kingsville, who's mascot is the Javelina. Nancy's from my first hometown - Bishop, Tx - way south in Texas. Hence the hot blazing sun, especially in August when this is featured.
