Family from The South


We have happily had a lot of visitors come to see us before our move ! Sadly I have been  a bit behind in blogging  so I have missed the chance to share our adventures..... Funny a whole week of no posting and now you may get 2 a day for the next week ! In honor of our family coming I Have decided to share a few recipes. Salsa has oddly been a center point for many of our visitors and while we enjoyed restaurant salsa I have in honor of their visit decided to include my recipe for homemade salsa. This salsa recipe was actually given to me by a friend from Texas and it is SO yummy !

Janice's Salsa

5 chopped jalapenos ( remove seeds for a milder salsa)
4 chopped tomatoes
1/2 sweet bell pepper  Chopped( I have used all the color varieties my personal favorite is yellow or orange)
1 C. tomato sauce ( I often use diced tomatoes for a chunkier salsa) you can add more tomato sauce for a milder salsa also
3 TBL. of Garlic ( Sam is a fan of this so I usually add 6 TBL)
2Tbl of white vinegar
chopped Cilantro ( the more you add the hotter the salsa)

mix all ingredients together and it becomes a Paco de Gallo style salsa
