MANAGER’S CORNER by
Cynthia Montiglio
Hello Members!
The season is getting upon us, and we are looking forward to having you all back. I want to recall some of our summer projects: the rec center floors were replaced, cornhole area was added, new AC in the rec center and new table clothes for the rec center tables. We’ve had small projects to maintain our resort nicely, a few more projects are on the works before the season begins.
I want to give a big thank you to Cobblestone and our members for receiving the “Community of the Year” award. We’ve had our ups and downs but have made cherishable memories that make this place a better home. Thank you to all those members that make this resort an incredible stay for everyone.
The 4-months stay is still AVAILABLE for booking, September 1st – January 1st for $899. Book before August 29th, 2025. Limited sites available.
As always, I’m available in my office for any suggestions or just drop by to say Hi.
Cynthia

Happy Summer Del Pueblo members. Wished I could say it’s cooling down here, but with 2 months left of monsoon season, it is just heating up! You know what else is “heating up”??? Your Fall Activities Schedule! I am so excited to share with you all the great events planned to start in October and continue through the end of March! I am attaching the flyer sent out to all of you as a reminder of all that you must look forward to! MORE TO FOLLOW!

MAINTENANCE TEAM UPDATE
Well things are pretty quiet around here & hot. Palm trees are being trimmed and then the trees after that. The laundry room at the Rec Center is being painted plus a few other projects to be accomplished before the season starts.
Working hard to make Del Pueblo some place you’re proud of. Enjoy your summer and safe travels on your way back to Del Pueblo.
Maintenance, Rick Van Tassel

Recipe of the Month
Strawberry-Jalapeño Chicken

This one is for sweet-and-spicy lovers. This strawberry-jalapeño chicken is bound to become your springtime go-to dinner. Seasoned chicken breast gets pan-seared until golden brown, smothered in a strawberry chipotle sauce, and topped with fresh strawberry-jalapeño salsa to create this playful, bright dish. If you’re not a huge fan of the cilantro that gets sprinkled on top, you can easily swap it for fresh basil or parsley.
Strawberry and jalapeño might seem like an odd combination of flavors, but the subtle tartness of the fresh strawberry combines with the fruity spice of the jalapeño and the smokiness of chipotle chiles for a match made in sweet heat heaven. Serve this with roasted sweet potatoes or wild rice for a satisfying, easy dinner that comes together in less than an hour.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Pat chicken dry; season both sides with pepper, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt. Add chicken to skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss cilantro, 1 cup strawberries, 1/3 cup jalapeños, 2 tablespoons shallots, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook remaining jalapeños and shallots and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until shallots start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup
vinegar and stir to deglaze, scraping bottom of skillet. Stir in chile, adobo sauce, BBQ sauce, honey, and remaining strawberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and strawberries have started to cook down, 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Return chicken to skillet to heat through. Spoon strawberry salsa over. Top with cilantro.
