While for a lot of us coffee is an everyday product, that doesn’t mean it’s a simple product. Producing coffee takes a lot of work and a lot of hands, not to mention the work it takes to get it all the way across the world and into your kitchen.

“This is the best mango salsa I have ever tasted! It’s a refreshing, cool and spicy salsa that adds excitement to fish, poultry, pork or tortilla chips! You’ll love it! If you’re feeling adventurous, use fresh cilantro instead of basil–wonderful!”

To wrap up the week, I asked Tricia to be my guinea pig in a new weekly column that turns to our fellow cooks and asks them: What’s cooking this weekend? Here’s what Tricia’s cooking — and nope, it’s not soup, but it is connected to her very ambitious New Year’s resolution!
