Hey Good Lookin'! Whatcha Got Cookin?

Guess what?! My work had a recipe contest recently, and to get people to submit recipes, they said that the first 50 people would receive a free jeans day sticker. I totally wanted to wear jeans, so I hurried and submitted my Mahi Mahi Tacos with Fresh Mango Salsa recipe. It's a favorite of Jamie and I's. They taste so good, and it's such the perfect summer meal! The trick to submitting though, was your recipe had to be heart healthy. The yummiest and the most healthiest recipes would be announced the winners. There were three areas to submit: salad/side dish, entree, and dessert. Well, come to find out after a came back from grandpa's funeral, that I had first of all won a free jeans day sticker, and second of all, I won the entree category as the 1st place winner! So, since I won first place, my work will be catering a meal with all the first place dishes to 10 people of my choice next week! Plus, today, they featured it on their menu. I purposely didn't bring a lunch today so I could taste test my recipe, just to see how good they followed my recipe. When I got there, they were all sold out! Not even a snitch left! Nothing! Nadda! I was a little ticked at first... but then, took it as a compliment. Atleast everyone liked them! The server said that the line was ridiculously long, and that everyone was raving about them! He then went on to say that they will definately be adding my dish to the regular menu, because everyone liked them so much! I can't believe I won! I didn't think I even had a chance, seeing that there are about 2,000 people that work there, and the majority are women! So, there you have it. I'm officially a chef! Not really... but it is pretty cool that I won! So, here's the recipe if you wanna give it a shot! Let me know how it turns out!
