Come What May and Love It

Corn Salsa. I really like this salsa. I could eat it by the spoon fulls by it's self. Shhh don't tell anyone. I found this recipe a long time ago. How long do I have to make the item for it to become my recipe? Or do I still need to claim it belongs to the person I got it from? I use this salsa on anything you would use regular salsa on, Chips and dip, Taco's, enchilada's, burritos, Nachos etc. You can also use it with chicken or fish. 2 (15 ounce) can yellow corn, drained 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained 1 bunch finely chopped cilantro 5 green onions, finely sliced 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 cup lime juice 1 avocado, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1.Stir the yellow and white corn, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, red onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Gently mix in the lime juice and avocado. Driz

I love food at the harvest season. They just taste better! This recipe is one I found a few years ago and during the time Leif was gone to Iraq, we made lots of different salsas. We made the chunky salsa with the normal ingredients. We got a traditional Mexican salsa recipe and made it. We made corn salsa (one of my favorites). We made salsa with black bean's and one with Avocado chunks. We made Mango salsa and Strawberry mango salsa. You could say it was the year of the salsa, or I was on a salsa kick. I will share a few of these recipe's with you. The first I am sharing is the strawberry/mango salsa. At first I thought what do you eat it with. Duh chips. It is really good with just a bag of chips. you can also use it with any of the recipe's you would use a mango salsa with, Your Mexican fish/shrimp dishes would be a great paring for this MANGO/STRAWBERRY SALSA . I do not use as much of the mango. My family likes more strawberries and less mango's. Enjoy!

My husband loves to make pie. His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because he can eat pie. He has made, peach, chocolate cream, coconut cream, bannana cream, Apple, Apple carmel, and many more. I however am not a huge fan of pie. Last Thanksgiving he asked me what kind of pie I wanted because he wanted me to have a pie I like. I thought about it and I remembered a pie at a restaurant that I thought was okay, sour cream lemon. I did a search and found a recipie for it on the internet. We made one for thanksgiving and it is now one of our families favorite pies. It has a few steps to it but all in all it is a good pie. Oh and do not even think of substituting lemon juice for a real lemon. It is not the same. Well I guess you can but it does not give the same flavor. . Click here for the link

In about January we started talking about our summer fun. We talked about going far away, or maybe somewhere that we could fly. We had a limited budget for our trip. I looked at airplane tickets and at the time the cheapest flights were to Denver Co. for $250 per person. Now that is not much per person but when you times that by 5, I knew that would be over 1/2 our budget. We still wanted to take the kids on a plane ride but did not know what to do. Leif and I talked about it and decided to stay local and bump it up. We decided to do things within driving distance and use our money for fun things that we never do because of no money. There were many many things that were on the list but we narrowed it down to the following: The first thing was we booked a 1 hour flight for the kids to fly around the Teton Mountain range. L sat in the front and flew the plane for a few minutes. That was thrilling for her. That night we went to Bar J Chuckwagon. I don't love the fo

I really like Sloppy Joes. They are yummy. In fact I do not even mind the Manwich brand. However my oldest has never ever liked manwich's. About 5 years ago I got a ward cookbook and a lady had submitted a sloppy joe recipe that I thought I would try. L loved it. She now says she does not like anyone elses sloppy joe's. Only mine. :} 1 large chopped onion 2 lbs ground beef cook onion and beef together then add 1 1/2 c catsup 1 tsp mustard 1 tsp vinegar 4 tsp sugar (I do use only 2 tsp) 1/2 c water 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp chilli powder simmer for 10 minutes. put on buns add your favorite toppings, lettuce, cheese, pickles, or nothing at all, enjoy.
