Last night the boys asked to make homemade salsa.  We were coming home from a fun run last evening and I told the boys we could stop at Publix<\/a> to pick up the things we need.  I whipped out my iPhone (“Pardon me while I whip this out….”) and Googled a salsa recipe.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how she does it, but Pioneer Woman’s salsa recipes topped by Google search results.  I chose the “Restaurant Style Salsa<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

We have fresh jalapenos and cilantro in my garden (YUM!), and a big fat Vidalia onion and some garlic in my veggie drawer, so I picked up the other items I needed.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take step-by-step instruction photos since PW takes care of that for us, but here’s our end product!  The boys were devouring it as soon as I opened the food processor lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

That’s Timmy’s hand dipping in a chip to taste.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This recipe makes a TON of the salsa (that’s a 12-cup food processor there that’s 3\/4 full) — I’m inclined to put some in jars and run it through the canner.<\/p>\n

I’d put this salsa up against anything we’ve had in Mexican restaurants!  It’s pretty tasty, the kids enjoyed it (hooray for veggies!), and by some miracle after eating about 1\/2 cup of the stuff with last night’s dinner, I didn’t get heartburn!  Whoo hoo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
