Salsa

Inspired by dinner out with some friends on Sunday night, I have to share this Pioneer Woman recipe with you guys. Side-note: did you watch her show on Saturday morning?? I didn't but I caught the new show with Jeff Mauro.  I was planning on going to church Sunday at 11, but lost track of time and watched some Food Network instead. Oh and also changed my car's headlights.

 That was much more of a side-note than originally planned... Speaking of getting off topic- we had a history teacher in junior high and high school who took the best bunny trails during class. His off topic comments always turned into 10 minute stories. We heard about drug addicts who thought they were carrots, the best practices in turkey and deer hunting, and history lessons camouflaged as interesting stories.

In case you're curious, I am really proud that I was able to change the headlights in my car myself. The car shop I go to wanted $40!! I went to the parts store and bought the bulbs for $9.99 each and it only took me 30 minutes to do. Luckily, my car has a really simple design and there weren't a lot of things in the way of the headlight socket thingys. I had heard that I might need to take out the battery and unscrew some things to get to the lights, but it was much much easier than that.

OK, back to the Salsa. yes, restaurant salsa is the topic I started to write about 3 bunny trails ago... I've been eating more salsa lately because it's a great dressing and condiment when you're on a diet. We went to a local Mexican restaurant on Sunday afternoon that had some goood salsa. I'm getting tired of the chunky kind from a jar, and was curious about making my own. I thought for sure lots of chopping would be involved, but according to this recipe- all I need is a food processor or blender.

 I can't wait to try it. I'm planning on making tilapia this week, salsa would be perfect on top. What do you think? Do you make your own salsa? My guy adds lime and garlic to store bought salsa to amp it up. (which is a delicious option, especially with lime chips.)
