Sweet And Spicy Pico With Goat Cheese {2 Recipes}

January 6, 2014 by Jess MillionMoments

It is a brand new year, and with that brings new beginnings, new goals, and for most of us a focus on cleaning up our lifestyles.  I know that I need a menu revamp after all the indulging I have done the past few month (my blog has been in sweets overload lately!) and it is time for me to get back to my normally healthy diet.  I adore full flavored foods, and a lot of people have the misconception that full flavor = full of bad stuff.  Well guess what? That isn’t the case if you do it right, and this Sweet & Spicy Pico with Goat Cheese is here to prove it!  I am a huge fan of anything tomato, and you already know about my love affair with Goat cheese, so check out my newest snack obsession and learn how to make it for yourself.  I could seriously eat this all day, it is that good!

Wasn’t that easy?  The jalapeno makes it a little spicy, but the Goat cheese balances it out with sweetness for a match made in heaven!  Oh yeah, and if you want to pair it with these delicious homemade whole wheat tortilla chips here is the recipe.  They are WAY better for you than store bough chips and taste oh-so-delicious!
