I love to cook. I wouldn't even say love. I would say I am obsessed. My obsession with cooking began first with my love of food. As a child I grew up with a family of amazing cooks. Any social gathering always involved food. I plan to share my creations as well as some secret family recipes on this blog. I hope you will enjoy this and begin to become your own food artist if you have not already.

Salsa and While Wheat Chips
Yum Salsa! Everyone has their favorites! With so much cilantro growing on my back deck, I felt inspired to make some! (And the pix was taken yesterday, but I keep forgetting to reset my date on the camera, it always defaults to 1/13/2007 when I change the batteries! Argh) I like to make my own chips as well. This salsa can be made mild or super spicy like I like it. To make yours mild, just avoid the hot habanero! Also, do not include the seeds in the jalapeno and banana pepper. I used a can tomato because the fresh tomatoes just do not taste juicy and sweet this time of year.
Salsa
Ingredients:
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 vidalia onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 banana pepper chopped, seed included
1 jalapeno pepper chopped, seeds included
1 habanero pepper chopped, seeds included
1 can of diced chilies, including juice
1 handful of fresh cilantro chopped
1 juice of a line
1 Tbsp. of sea salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Enjoy!
Chips
1 package of whole wheat tortillas cut in to triangles
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. sea salt
Heat oven to 375. In a large bowl, place the tortillas. Drizzle olive oil and sea salt. Toss gently to be sure each tortilla is lightly covered. Place the tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes or until crisp. Stay close, they can burn easy. Repeat until all tortillas are cooked. Once cooled, place in an air tight bag.
