Grilled Corn and Mango Salsa

I can’t believe it’s Friday already. This week seemed to have passed very quickly. I guess that happens with a long holiday weekend and a busy full schedule.

On Saturday, we took the kids in their first ever bike trailer ride. Despite the heat and humidity, we had a great time. It’s been a while since the last time I rode my bike, but I’ve been diligently going to cycle classes in the gym and I noticed a difference in my strength and endurance. My husband hauled the kids–I can’t say he enjoyed the ride as much as I did though. Khaled was amazed by the whole thing and kept looking for me, while Zayd fell asleep!

We had our potluck family barbecue on Sunday and we contributed this salsa, along with mac and cheese. Yes, you read it right. I’ll share that recipe one day. Thanks to my sister-in-law for letting me use her kitchen placemats for my picture!

If grilled corn is not possible, use frozen or canned. You can also microwave fresh corn. I place the ears in a ziplock bag (I do worry about the chemicals in plastic getting into the food so I don’t use this method often), poke a couple of holes, then microwave for 2 minutes for EACH ear.

Now to the recipe…. this is the first time I use this plug-in, so let me know if you think its better or easier to read than the old-fashioned manual way.

Nour’s guidance and expertise was the key to dramatically halting our son’s [Crohn’s] disease progression! His pediatric gastroenterologist is now in agreement of our choice to treat solely with diet and supplements. All his labs have improved and his inflammatory markers are so low they are practically nonexistent.

Before working with Nour, I experienced intestinal pain off and on for for 54 years with minimal success on medications. I have benefited 100% from Nour’s program as I am now pain free!

A lot of time and money was wasted on foods that I thought would help my digestive struggles [diarrhea, bloating, hunger], but in fact I was making it worse. The main benefit is getting a handle on what negatively affects my digestive symptom. Doing a total 180 to my eating habits has been pretty amazing.
