Salsa Sunday!

Okay, so Anna made this salsa at one of our family gatherings ages ago and we fell in LOVE, and now, it is apart of our family. Last week, Damien said, "Mike, are you going to make some salsa? It IS salsa Sunday?" LOL! We do make this salsa once a week and we down it by Thursday or so. Needless to say, we LOVE salsa. Every time Mike makes it, it comes out different, sometimes super hot, sometimes not. Even Max and Jesse are growing accustomed to the salsa. Since this has become such a family tradition, I decided to give the salsa its own blog post. We anxiously wait for Dad to make the salsa, and then rush the bag of chips to try his creation. Today, we made it with jalapenos from our very own garden! How HOT is THAT!! Oh it was HOT. You didn't know it was hot until a few seconds later :) Then you have major salsa/onion aftertaste for at least a day or so, that is, IF you don't have anymore salsa ;) Mike has since adapted the below recipe, now he only uses one can of Rotel, and goes from there.

  • 1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
  • 2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
