Fresh-ish Salsa

Just in case you and yours like salsa as much as I do...

2 cans stewed tomatoes 

1 spoonful jalapeno from a jar

(more or less depending on how hot you like it)

1/4 of a large onion

1 tablespoon garlic from a jar

a handful of fresh cilantro

dash of salt

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend to your liking. 

I like ours a little bit chunkier so I usually use the chop button on my blender.

This salsa is AMAZING and tastes so fresh!

Enjoy!

Mud Room

This has seriously been the longest, darkest, yuckiest, winter that I can remember.

I CAN. NOT. WAIT.  for warmer, sunnier, brighter days to come!

Although it's been very dreary, wet and cool spring so far...

I have hope, because....

                                                     “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”

Until then...

I am so thankful we have this mudroom/entryway/drop zone for all the 

muddy, wet shoes and boots.   I haven't yet put away the winter 

coats because sadly, I think we might still need them.

When we remodeled, this was the one space I wanted/needed more than

any other.  Just to have a place to collect all the mud and muck that comes through

the door.  It's not a big area, and sometimes you may trip on all the shoes, and bags that

get thrown on the floor...

but it works.

The weather is looking good for Saturday, and we will be in the garden...

(it's our first garden ever so we are like kids in a candy store)

pics coming soon!
