Salsa Recipe

My friend Jenni makes some great salsa and ever since Ryan and I first tried it I knew that we needed the recipe. Jenni is a busy girl but I finally tricked her into coming over this afternoon to teach me how to make it. It is even better than I remembered! She gave me permission to share it, so here is the recipe--- as close as I could get it---she basically just throws in all the ingredients and adds stuff until it "tastes good". I am writing this down for myself more than anyone else right now since it's still fresh on my mind. I just hope I can duplicate it without her help next time!

Jenni's Salsa

• 1 large white onion, finely chopped
• 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
• garlic cloves, minced (to taste--I used approx. 10)
• 2 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce
• juice from 1 lemon
• juice from 1 lime
• 8 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped
• leaves from 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 small cans diced green chilis
• 1/2 cup jalapeños from a jar, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup peppercinis from a jar, finely chopped
• Italian seasoning, to taste
• garlic powder, to taste
• onion powder, to taste
• poultry seasoning, to taste
• salt and pepper, to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add spices to taste. Make sure to have a lot of chips handy!

The master cook herself, "testing" the salsa

I gave Isaac some salsa and he loved it, jalapeños and all (it kind of puts him in a trance, as you can see from said photo) Sorry about the mediocre picture--our camera wasn't as fast as Isaac was and he always ate the salsa off the chips faster than I could snap a picture.

The only Easter picture of Isaac, enjoying his first peep. I forgot to post it earlier this week.
