Recipe Recipe: Strawberry Salsa
Posted By Kelly Davis on Fri, May 4, 2012 at 10:21 AM
When warm weather rolls around, I love to making fresh salsa for parties, cookouts, or just any ol' weekday dinner. The essential definition of salsa is a spicy sauce of chopped, usually uncooked vegetables or fruit, especially tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers, used as a condiment. Fruit is an especially tasty and creative way to take salsa to the next level. And since strawberries are so abundant right now, I decided to use them this week to make a sweet and savory salsa.

This delicious, and might I add gorgeous, salsa is a wonderful way to incorporate fruit and vegetables into your meal simultaneously. You can eat it with some tortilla chips, add it to fish tacos, or spoon it over some grilled chicken.
I was extra creative today at lunch and spooned it over a spinach salad with chickpeas and feta cheese. The options are endless!

Smorgasbord / Events Another gulp of The Big Brew Ha
Posted By Kelly Davis on Wed, May 2, 2012 at 9:49 AM
The second annual Big Brew Ha, which took place at the Mint Museum Uptown on Friday, April 27, was held to benefit the historic St. Peter's Church of Uptown Charlotte.
The church is one of Charlotte's most treasured historic landmarks, dating back to 1893. Participants of The Big Brew Ha not only supported the preservation of St. Peter's Church but were treated to an array of delicious heavy hors d'oeuvres, a variety of international beers, and artisan coffee, as well as games and prizes.
Coffee was brewed upon order using the pour over method by Counter Culture Coffee, from Durham, N.C. The folks from Not Just Coffee, a coffee stand in 7th Street Public Market were also there assisting with the brewing.
