Homemade Salsa...

This is the best salsa ever!!! And I have a very picky salsa family!! Can't be too chunky,  too store-bought tasting, to hot, too mild, to small chunky...ya get the point!! But this one seems to be a keeper and it's from my dear friend Tammie who shared her recipe {and two big containers she made} with us!!!
 So I am thankful she shared so my family can enjoy it!!
And so John won't be begging her to make it for him every 3 days!!! And so him and Hannah won't fight over it!! And he can have his own container so he doesn't have to have all the broken chips and double dips from the kids!!! 

3 lbs. tomatoes ~ seeded and diced {Romas are best but can use what ever, dice into size that your family likes}

1 lg. white onion ~ diced 

1 jalapeno ~ use as much as your hotness level allows and can handle

1 "clump" cilantro ~ cut off above the stems and mince

Stir together in a container of your choosing then mix together:

1/3 c. lime juice

1 1/2 T. kosher salt

1 t. minced garlic 

Stir all together and enjoy! Can been refrigerated for up to 2 weeks!!

It's so yummy!!!!

Copy Cat Chili's Salsa

Recipes {and tons of other things} found on Pinterest are my newest obsession!! This was super easy and tasted pretty close to the real thing!! It comes from Six Sisters...

2 cans (14.5 oz each) whole tomatoes, drained
1 small (4 oz) can diced or whole jalapenos (not pickled)--about 4-5 jalapenos (or less if you don't like a lot of spice)
1/4 c. yellow onion, cut into quarters (you can also use dried minced onion)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt (depending on how much you prefer)
1 tsp. cumin ~ I left this out cause I didn't have any
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. lime juice

Place all of the ingredients together into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips.
The kids really liked it!! Didn't make a whole lot so next time I will double the recipe!!
