I have been distracted and posted the del.icio.us tips twice so I’m apologizing and I’m going to give you a recipe as a gift. I have decided that I will be posting a recipe here once a week since we ALL eat and I want to take care of the whole person – body, soul and brain!

This is a recipe for Corn Salsa that is actually pretty carb friendly and great for dialysis patients not to mention just plain delicious! (there’s that word again!)

I use frozen corn kernels and it tastes great. It is better if you make it the day before and let it chill over night so the flavors can meld.

Good to pack in your lunchbox for a quick snack!
