Just Breathe.

My stepmom gave me the link to this and I think it is something that everyone should see. Ryan Star was a contestant on Rockstar: Supernova, a reality show, a few years ago. He didn't win and now I'm kind of glad that he didn't. It seems like he was destined for better things :)

This was made for Breathe For Jobs and if you click on the link, it will take you to a page where you can see all the people that were in the music video. It is meant to grab the attention of employers and to help these individuals find jobs. If you could pass around this information, you would really be helping these people :)

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips


NOT my picture...although I do have that bowl ;)


I made these a couple times for my class and I keep forgetting to post the recipe for everyone! This is the perfect recipe for brunches, cook-outs, or grilling out as people call it in Indiana! I'm learning ;)

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
Original recipe can be found at http://www.tasteofhome.com/

Ingrediants for Fruit Salsa
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries (super tiny pieces, think the size of ingrediants in a regular salsa)
1 medium orange, peeled and finely chopped
3 medium kiwi, peeled and finely chopped
1 can (8 oz) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. sugar (add more to taste, I usually adjust this based on the ripeness of the fruit)

Ingrediants for Cinnamon Chips

10 flour tortillas (8 inch)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Fruit Salsa Directions

1. In small bowl, combine all six ingrediants.
2. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
3. See, I told you this was easy!

Cinnamon Chip Directions

1. Brush tortillas with melted butter and cut each into 8 wedges.
2. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over tortillas
*NOTE: I usually have to make 2 batches of the sugar/cinnamon combo in order to have enough for all 10 tortillas.
3. Place tortilla wedges on baking sheets
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes or just until crisp.
5. Allow chips to cool before eating (I learned this the hard way! lol)
6. ENJOY! :)
