chipotle chicken sausage with mango pineapple salsa

Today was a fantastic day. Nothing special happened,  I didn’t win the lottery, I didn’t save the world, but I did have a most excellent day.  It was like all the planets aligned, I was at peace at work and home.  You know what I’m talking about, it was just a peacefully, great day. Nothing could ruin it.  I got 20 thousand steps in, that’s ten miles, and I feel good.

And what a way to finish the day, but of course, a little Caribbean inspired goodness. And it was quick and easy to make,  which is always a bonus!
