Summer Appetizers

Here are two QUICK & EASY recipes that we enjoy...they can be made anytime, but i think they go best in the summer :)


Homemade Salsa

1 large can diced or petite diced tomatoes
1 large can crushed tomatoes
2-3 tablespoons (or to your taste for spice) of Jalapenos
1/2-3/4 jar of Hot Banana Peppers
1 medium-large onion
Cilantro - if you like it (i don't so i skip it)

Pour tomatoes into bowl. Finely chop onions, jalapenos, & banana peppers (i use a chopper to get them very fine) then add to the tomatoes. Mix well and chill. You can also add a 1-2 cloves of garlic and some lemon juice. It is totally up to you~

This recipe makes a BUNCH so you can cut it all in half to make a smaller batch. Enjoy!


Guacamole with a Twist
4-5 guacamoles
1-2 lemons (squeeze to use the juice)
2-3 cloves garlic
Salt to taste
1 cup salsa

Peel the Guacs and remove the seed - place in a bowl. Add in the salsa, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Mix well then refrigerate. All ingredients can be add or taken out depending on how you like it. Just taste test and make it your own!
