summer young

i love to bake. it's fun to try new things, and it has this therapeutic thing to it. but during summer, it is easier to make other treats, because turning the oven on would be a terrible idea. after reading a number of food blogs yesterday, i decided i would start putting up some recipes that i try.

Salsa Buena (Good Salsa)

4 tomatoes. i used roma tomatoes. cut each tomato into four pieces.

1/4 small white onion

1 jalapeno pepper

1 tbsp whole cilantro leaves

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 lime juice

1.5 garlic clove

place all ingredients in blender and chop until it looks like salsa! enjoy :-)

*tricks*

• if you stick the 1/2 lime in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds the juice comes right out
• also the recipe really only calls for 1 clove of garlic, but i believe there is no such thing as too much garlic....
• A lot of the jalapeno spice comes from the insides, so take out however much you want depending on how spicy you want your salsa

thanks Dillon for the salsa recipe!
