The entry period for this giveaway is now closed. Stay tuned for the winner announcement, and in the meantime, make sure to enter all of our open giveaways…
Like everyone else, we made a few New Year’s resolutions at the beginning of this month.
And we’ve already broken down.
But that’s no surprise, right? Hey, it’s pretty impressive that we made it even this far, right?
Not exactly.
Did we ever mention what one of our New Year’s resolutions actually is?
We resolved not to diet and detox.
And unfortunately, we failed and “accidentally” made this totally heart, waist and mental healthy Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa, based on a recipe out of the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook.
We are such failures.
So the only way we’re going to keep up with our resolution of more fattylicious fried foods, sticky sweet creamy, dreamy desserts and enough alcohol to marinate our liver into a tiny livery pickle is to get this cookbook out of our kitchen.
Perfect timing with our birthday giftaway!
How to Enter this Giveaway
Canyon Ranch Nourish is a gorgeous cookbook from, you guessed it, Canyon Ranch. When we first got it, we were sort of reluctant to even open the book, since we associate “spa cuisine” with a sad little plate of garnish passing as a meal. But now you know that the book makes you want to eat all those healthy things like tofu, kale and raw vegetable smoothies, but also includes French toast, flatbread pizzas and *gasp!* cake. Not to mention gorgeously delicious dishes like that salmon.
Gawd, we’re still kicking ourselves for giving into it…
Ok! But no crying over spilled soy milk! This is a quick and easy giveaway. There is one step:
Leave a comment on this post with one of your food-related New Year’s resolutions.
Don’t worry if you didn’t make any resolutions — we actually think that’s a smart move. Just make something up, because it doesn’t matter what you say. We’re going to pick the “winner” randomly from the comments, so it only matters that you do comment.
You already know what our (already failed) resolution is.
Good luck! The deadline to enter is midnight Friday January 28. Make sure to enter your email address in the space provided address so we can contact you if you’re chosen!
And don’t forget to keep coming back throughout the next few days for more of our TasteSpotting’s 4th Birthday Giftaways…
Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa
based on a recipe from the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook:
…Mangoes are rich in vitamins A and C and carotenoids. Salmon is a great source of disease-fighting omega-3 fatty acids. (We prefer wild-caught Pacific or organic farm-raised salmon.) In short, this dish delivers amazing nutritional value along with wonderful flavor…
makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
for the Avocado Mango Salsa
half a large avocado, peeled and diced (Canyon Ranch uses 1/3 cup fresh blueberries)
1/3 cup peeled, diced mangoes
2 tablespoons minced red onions
2 tablespoons minced red bell peppers (we substituted tomatoes)
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers
(Canyon Ranch adds 2 teaspoons evaporated cane juice or organic cane sugar — we omitted sugar completely)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
for the Salmon
½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
four 4-ounce salmon fillets
pinch sea salt
pinch freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Combine the avocado (or blueberries), mangoes, onions, tomatoes (or bell peppers), cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, salt (and sugar, if using) in a medium bowl. Lightly crush with a fork to release the juices. Set aside. [Wear gloves when handling hot chile peppers, or wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes, nose or mouth.]
Heat olive oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.
Serve each salmon fillet with ¼ cup Avocado Mango Salsa.

I totally vow to make the piano cake on the Palachinka website this year!!!! I have been looking at it for three years now. It looks so awesome. But its in grams and such – not cups and teaspoons – It scares me!!!
Don’t be scared Charisse….I actually got me a little scale and the recipes work out great! Most measuring cups now have grams for liquid now, so it’s not so hard! I had a recipe I wanted to make for a few yrs myself & finally made it…came out AWESOME!!! Of course, guess where I got the recipe…LOL
my food-related resolution: to pack my own lunch to work every day…no more processed crap.

I am trying not to buy processed food and eat more fruit.
Well, you have just helped me out with my New Year’s food resolution, which was to start making more of all the recipes I have, or have access to. This salsa sounds great for salmon, which we love, but also other fish. Thanks!
I know you’ll be disappointed to hear this, but my resolution is to be more careful about what I eat. I’ve been successful so far! :)
My resolution is to eat smarter and healthier. Not to deprive myself of what I truely enjoy eating and come up with a unique cuisine to keep it all adventurous!

In spite of not making any NY resolutions I’ve found myself accidentally dieting. How did that happen! I blame it on the cookbooks, too!
I don’t really have “resolutions” this year… but I did set the goal of making croissants. I’m a little afraid of the labor involved, but I know they’ll be worth it. :)
My new years resolution was not to limit what I eat too much, and to give into my dessert cravings once in a while. Everything in moderation. :)

My resolution this year – experiment more with new foods & recipes!
I had a list of food resolutions this year but the one that I am most proud of would be to conquer yeast. I have really been trying to work on breads and think that so far I really have owned it and am happy with my progress!
To learn how to make the perfect biscotti
My resolution was to drink less and try to eat less meat, more veggies. So far I’ve cut the drinking back a bit, so it’s a success, and I’m eating even more veggies, but I just can’t stop eating meat!!!!!!
My New Years resolution is to broaden my meals throughout the week to include a different ethnic meal. Made braised octopus yesterday and it was fantastic. (Allthough I think the kids enjoyed playing with it more than eating it!) Will be trying more and more. Nothing is out of bounds! Tastespotting has become an addicting site for finding so many great dishes! I have made more than 20 and every one of them has been awesome! Happy Birthday!!
My resolution was to cook foods I have felt were too cumbersome or would be too time consuming to make. Last week, I cooked a 17 lb pork shoulder which-surprise!- turned into 40+ servings of pulled pork and required an extra 5 hours of cooking time than what I had originally intended! Next up, marron glace.
My resolution is to eat more fresh fish, veggies, whole grains and fruit! Exercise at least 1/2 hour a day!
i absolutely mean to eat healthier and am!
Eat more fish
More fish, and to continue to avoid farmed fish.
Sometimes it’s SO much more expensive! Boo.
Our resolution is to eat more chicken and to get more fish in our meals. The chicken meals are easy but to get fresh fish we have had to plan on those days when everyone is home to eat at the same time so its fresh.
My resolution was to have weekly pot-lucks and Friday night dinners with friends. This forces me to cook savory rather than fall back on providing desserts (I bake a lot). This year, I will become a respectable maker of savory!
My resolution is to get my butt to the gym so I can make more recipes I find here!!! AND… so far so good!
Yum! My food resolution is to try lots of new recipes this year. So I figure another cookbook certainly couldn’t hurt…
Beautiful pictures! I vow (and so far so good) to eat out only once and to try new foods! We are creatures of habit here and rarely break out but this year we have tried a new homemade soup (delish!), had fruit and veggies at every meal and trying new veggies!
My resolution is to put more fish into my diet.. a lot more fish.
I decided to make a conscious effort to think about what I eat.
My food resolutions were related to making foods or dishes I have never made before. One of them chicken pot pie and I made it the other night!
I have the first Canyon Ranch cookbook and it’s fantastic! My resolution has been to actually make some of these tasty and healthy foods, and try and encourage my family members to eat more healthfully. It helps when the food tastes great.
I am definately cutting out all the extra dumplings I keep adding to my home made veggie soup (put in some peas pudding for extra flavour)/stews etc, got to lose the tunny before I meet the x factor stars in March!
My food resolution for this year is to get out of the rut of the tried and true and easy for the weeknights. Cooking is relaxing to me so I shouldn’t shy away from new things. Most of all…I resolve to ENJOY!
My New Year’s Resolution is to eat breakfast. I always run out of my house in the morning without eating a proper breakfast, so I would like to break that habit in 2011.
My food related resolution is to stop overindulging too much and start using moderation….everything in moderation, right??
And….try a new recipe every week!
Happy Birthday Tastespotting~!!
I am super allergic to Mango… to its taste… smell… touch… even Mango lotion.
no one can eat around me either~!!!
Can’t get any more hypersensitive to it.
Looking at this photo of Avacado Mango salsa… makes me really want to try it~!!
my new years resolution… is to slowly expose to myself to Mango… maybe start with smelling mango while making this amazing salsa. :)
My food resolution is to eat whole foods! Foods that I prepare fresh from the market.
I saw Anthony Bourdain a few months ago- and he was telling the audience to take more risks with trying new foods and new flavors. I’m trying…baby steps!
I’m going to make more probiotic rich and fermented foods – fermenting has intimidated me a bit in the past. I’ve had success with kimchi, but saurkraut and sourdough were both flops – it’s a new year and time to dust myself off and try again!
Well we are cooking a lot healthier and bike riding and walking every day. Since April I have dropped 103 pounds with 50 more to go, you would had thought I would had changed the way I cooked before this year but this is my new step. Having Salmon tonight and wish I has the stuff to make the the stuff to make the salsa to go with it.
I resolved to continue to cook healthy things and to count my calories… but also to be more frugal and buy more of what’s on sale and less of ‘tonight I am going to make this!’ and buy all new ingredients. Both are off to a good start!
2011 is dedicated to lowering bad cholesterol! I’m excited to find some great recipes that will help!
Resolution? To get more calcium into my diet by drinking more milk!
to eat more veggies and protein for a lean, healthy body!
Cut down on the sugar! And so far I’ve failed miserably except for last week which has been the only good week since the new year. Fail! LOL.
Eat less sugar… exercise more.
Ohhhh I resolved to eat less carbs…but I am failing miserably!!! But this recipe will help with That!!! Looks soo good
To cook wayyyy more meals at home then I did in 2010!
New Years Resolution: Cook more, eat out less. :)
Eat more fish!
I am trying to gain elite Yelp status while reviewing all the good food I am trying :)
I have a lot of food related resolutions. I declared to pack more like many others… – There is a McDonalds right beside my work making it very easy to just grab food there. 2nd one .. To blog more food! #3- healthier food!
One of my resolutions is to eat more heart healthy adn to enjoy a great variety of fruits and vegetables.
My resolution was to cook more. I’m a restaurant manager with a culinary arts certificate. Sadly though, when I’m off, I would rather avoid my kitchen which in turn makes me sad. My other resolution is to teach customers and employees more about food. I love introducing people to things they didn’t know they loved! I’m always looking for healthier alternatives to their favorite menu items. I love my job.
Our resolution is simple. For the past two years, we’ve been on pregnancy-chaos-trying-to-get-by autopilot, and with two babies at home, that means both parents have gained about 30 lbs, give or take. We don’t have much spare time together, so we refuse to compromise our meals. We love food, and a good part of our relationship centers on preparing meals together. We just want to lose the weight by eating delicious but healthy food at home, and by being good examples for our kids. NO diets, no cleanses: lots of water, diet diversity, healthy preparation techniques and plenty of sleep.
More complete meals, i.e., whole grain, protein, vegetable/fruit. Even as a dietitian I sometimes forget the protein!
Cheers,
*Heather*
Such lovely pictures! My goal is to appreciate all natural and seasonal food. As much I would love to indulge in a bowl of California grown raspberry with some whipped cream and almond flakes on; I should actually try to buy the local strawberries and tangerines from the farmers market to cut down on carbon footprint. So far, it’s been real successful! (:
Sounds awesome. I definitely need to modify my eating habits, resolution or no.
Bake more. Bake Often.
resolution: to eat only when i’m hungry or if what’s in front of me is ACTUALLY delicious! no more mindless grazing on food I don’t even like!
1. Eat more fish, like this amazing looking salmon recipe!
2. Eat more hot dogs from hot dog stands. I really love a good dog and for some reason I always treat hot dogs as verboten. . . but not in 2011.
3. Bake (and give away) weekly! Last week was coffee cake, this week will be a big fat classic chocolate cake. Good thing I have lots of hungry neighbors!
be more adventurous about trying different recipes!
2011 for me is meant to eat less salt, sugar, and more tea, juice and popcorn!! Yum! I love your site and can’t live without it!! Thank you so much and Happy Birthday To YOU!!
Kathleen

Resolution: To try to not eat when I’m not hungry….we’ll see…
My resolution is to actually eat more! How lucky, right? Well, not exactly…
I lost too much weight while training for a marathon, and while trying to live a “healthier” lifestyle, I became way, WAY underweight.
Now I LOVE food. The kind of love that you feel toward puppies and kittens when they give you those eyes, or something….The problem is, I just get way too full way too quickly.
Anyway, I don’t want to just go and pig out on junk…after all, I still want to be healthy. I just need to eat more.
My resolution is the same every year: give up processed pre-packaged food. Each year I get closer and closer to success, so there’s hope for me yet!

My husband and I resolved to meal plan for at least 3 weeks out of every month. So far, we have been good. It helps that we plan one “floating” meal out a week so that if we really don’t feel like cooking, we can order pizza and push the schedule back a day. We started the last week on 2010 and have been going strong since!
My foodie New Year’s resolution is to make my own bread more often. I love the process of doing it – I just never set aside the time. Cheers to changing that in 2011!

My husband and are eating only vegetarian food on weekdays. Best decision we’ve ever made!
I resolved to eat breakfast every day and to start most days with a green monster. So far, so good!

stop counting every calorie I consume.
shoot, misspelled my email. This entry has the correct one attached.

My resolution is to eat more fruits/veges and drink more water!
I lost 35 lbs last year and have vowed to lose the last 30 pounds this year. So healthy eating is top of my to-do list this year. A Canyon Ranch cookbook would come in handy!
My food resolution was “meatless Monday” but, alas, I have also failed. Tring to stay on track though…
Figure out a way to convince the chefs at my local sushi bar to leave the imitation “krab” stick off of the combination plate. Processed Alaskan whitefish = not crab.
Eat the rainbow in vegetables!
Fast from after dinner Monday to dinner Tuesday.
This year, I’d decided I would reduce the amount of meat I eat every week, adding a few vegetarian meals every week and giving more room to vegetables. That resolution kind of flew out of the window when I was a guest at other people’s house. Or with this week. I still can’t believe the amount of ground beef I put in those fajitas… >< Hopefully I won't make it to something amazing and specific that would be worth pretending I've managed to truly keep a resolution, but I'll still be able to get a few good habits. I've at least discovered a few great vegetarian recipes. ^^
To make one brand new recipe out of each one of the gazillion cookbooks I have.

New year’s resolution…be more daring with macaron flavors! No more chocolate and vanilla!
My resolution is to stop wasting food. I love to shop, and I love food. It’s a perfect combo when I go food shopping. I grab too many things, and forget it’s sitting in the fridge. Often food goes to waste. So now, I make more conscious decisions before the old habit of buying on impulse kicks in.
My resolutions about food were boring – eat less, eat healthier. I wish my resolutions involved cake and beer but sadly, they do not.
My new years resolution is to not eat fast food junk anymore.

I didn’t explicitly make this a new year resolution, but, I would like to learn more healthy recipes instead of just cooking what I’m craving this year.
Eating less sweets was my goal and so far I have done very well. I make a daily decision not to have sweets but plan a once a week treat to look forward to eating. It was hard at first but my cravings have subsided and the treats haven’t been that satisfying. I’m starting to feel a subtle difference in my waistline, too.
To create something for air curing meats.
To make bread once a week.
Master 3 new dishes without having to look at the recipes
To slow down when I eat.
My food resolution was to learn to eat less carbohydrates and eat more fruits and vegetables. I have just recently conquered my daily bread obsession (toast, sandwiches, dinner rolls – bring it on. T’spotting has helped me find lots of great new veggie recipes!
To cook at home more often is my NY Resolution – so far, so good.
My food related resolution that is my top priority is not buy canned or packaged foods with HFCS or MSG. My next food resolution is to make pasta from scratch (something that tastespotting.com can help me with!).
I don’t have any food-related resolutions! I’d say I eat quite healthily already, so I guess my resolution could be to keep up the good work (if you could call eating delicious foods work – heh).
I’m making at least one brand new recipe every week! :)
Try more new recipes
My food-related resolution for this year is to successfully make French macarons!
One thing I’ve been wanting to do is to become more familiar with the different cuts of beef and how to cook them, and to hone my fish-cleaning skills.
Hmmm…well I don’t quite have one, but I guess I always want to eat more vegetables! Year-round resolution?
My resolution – bake macaroons
I resolve to not make resolutions I know I won’t keep :)
Eat foods that I can read the names of! So, no more weird scientific words in my food. No more! We are focusing on making our own foods from scratch this year. so far, so good!
After finding Tastespotting last year and following it heavily for the last 2 months. I made a new years resolution to make 1 new dish and dessert every weekend. I am not a regular for cooking, so this is big.
I eat healthy already but my resolution is trying to eat more organic.
Just to eat healthier be more adventurous with cooking.
One of mine is to eat more vegetables, and to eat better so that I can get in shape for a half marathon.
My food related resolution is to make as much from scratch regularly as possible. I’m making homemade bread once or twice a week but I would love to get the confidence and the ability to make bread daily. I’m getting better though, my naan breads are fantastic if I do say so myself, lol.
To take time to bake more. I won’t buy desserts so if I don’t make them, I don’t eat them and I miss them.
After 15 months of Army food out of necessity, i promised myself I wouldn’t eat just to eat, and only eat things I found yummy! No moment wasted and every calorie valued!
I am a vegetarian so healthy resolutions are that much more difficult – but I resolved to make sure that my diet contains more variety of vegetables and fruit and less grain/carb laden foods. In other words, my resolution is to achieve more balance in my vegetarian diet!
I’m working hard to re-invigorate an anti-inflammatory diet that much improved my health last year, but I need to find new ways to keep delicious foods on the diet.
I love the Canyon Ranch cookbook I already have and think it’s a good source for healthy, delicious recipes. And I would love to add another one to my ever-growing cookbook collection…please! :)
My resolution is to cut back on all the take-out/processed/junk food and try to create unique dinners with what’s in my kitchen. :)
More leafy greens.
My goal was to eat at least one super healthy meal a week. Sounds do-able but my current stats put me more towards the once per month category!
One of my resolutions for 2011 is to learn to cook more asian influenced foods.
Well, this year I would like to successfully make a souffle ( preferably a chocolate one) I also want to try to cook healthier while still making delicious food. So the cookbook would definitely help with that!
My foodie new year’s res. is to Yelp all restaurants I go to
I want to reduce my refined sugar intake — and rely on sweet treats using agave or even dates as sweeteners!
eat fish at least once a week. possible
make my boyfriend to eat fish at least once a month. almost impossible.
cheers, codruta

To make more things from scratch AND to be a more resourceful grocery shopper.
Eat more fish!
Eat less meat and more veggies. Meatless Mondays!
I’ve resolved to simply try and eat better, despite my busy schedule. Teaching three classes and taking five doesn’t leave much time for cooking, but I think I can make it work.
My resolution is the same as last year: Eat less processed foods… just taking it a step further and try to do even more!
Shop more locally, improve my urban gardening skills, and eat more PROTEIN! :-D
I resolve to eat more fruit.. It’s delicious!
I plan to eat healthier – more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
My resolution is to eat a really healthy piece of fish at least once per week.
Well, to eat fewer sandwiches and cut down on my bread intake — but I love to bake, so it’s proving a challenge….
… to spend less time on computer – blogs, Facebook, emails
oh well, there is always next year – ‘scuse me, a message has just arrived!
One of my New Year’s Resolution is to eat less processed food and try to make more meals at home so I can try to make them healthier.
Eat more fruits and vegatables.
My NY resolution… now that my niece turned me on to Taste Spotting is to pick a recipe and make one per week. The hardest part will be choosing!
MY food-related resolution: never leave dishes in the sink after cooking/dinner at night!
I know I’ve read you for at least three years and I know I’ve drooled over just about every recipe you have posted pictures of. My NYR is to not drool into the keyboard of my computer any more. . . er. . . not as much. Yeah, that’s it! Not as much!
To start a food blog. Instead of just reading them all……it’ll help me keep track of which recipes I actually enjoyed and I wont forget to make them again!
to love, laugh and eat more!
Start eating a vegan diet, and working out more.
Watched a segment on TV about this cookbook….everything looked so delicious, sound so yummy….I WANT THIS BOOK !!!!!! I am soooooooo………… glad you have provided the recipes for Salmon with salsa….I’m making it for dinner…………Thank-you !
