Award Winning Salsa Recipe

Salsa!

Just looking at this picture makes my mouth water! haha! This is not my award winning salsa, this is my mom's salsa! Its restaurant worthy people! Its so good, I'll even eat it with a spoon or drink it through a straw! You can blame that weird trait or quirk on my birth mom, who also would do the same! haha! Here is how to make it!

INGREDIENTS:this makes a huge bowl. For two people cut the measurements in half.

1. 4-6 fresh tomatoes, chopped.
2. 2 cans of whole peeled tomatoes.(28 oz)
3. 1 onion, finely chopped.
4. 1 bunch of cilantro.
5. 2 tablespoons of crushed garlic.
6. 1 tablespoon of salt.
7. 2 tablespoons of lime juice.(fresh lime tastes best)
8. 1 can of green chillies or jalapeños. (to taste)

DIRECTIONS:

     Pulse canned tomatoes about 2-3 seconds in a food processor, then put in a bowl. (longer, if you like smoother salsa) Pulse cilantro in food processor with some of the juice of the tomato juice, pulse until finely chopped. Add in the onion and garlic.(may need to chop up a little for the onion and garlic) Add the lime juice, salt, and chillies or jalapeños to the mix and stir.

This tastes better the second day after the ingredients mix and sit together.

Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole

I have never made Guacamole on my own. I was always my mom's taste tester because she can't eat it. I decided just to make up my own recipe. I thought, "surely it can't be THAT hard." Josh was the taste tester. He said it was a lot like the restaurant Chillies. That's good, right? haha! I did not have any tomatoes so I left them out. So here's how I made my Guacamole.

INGREDIENTS:

1. 3/4 Avocados. (halved, pitted, and peeled)
2. 1 Lime. (Juiced, or you can use the bottled lime juice)
3. 1 tablespoon of Cilantro. (I used a little more then that, but make sure you chop it finely)
4. 1/3 cup of Red Onion. 
5. 1 Garlic Clove. (mashed and chopped. just use a big spoon to mash after you chop it)
6. Salt. (to taste)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mash up your Avocados with a fork. Leave it a little chunky.
2. Add you Lime juice, Cilantro, Red Onion, Garlic and Salt. Mix it together. (I usually add one at a time, mix, then add another.)
3. Find a taste tester! haha. Add salt and the lime juice according to how you like your Guacamole to taste.
