Why Can't Life Be Easy Salsa???

I had no idea how crazy I would feel before we leave for 3 weeks of wedding and honeymoon bliss. I am surprisingly calm about the wedding. Believe it or not, at this point, the wedding is calming to me. Preparing to leave my commission- only sales job for 3 weeks....NOT calming. How am I supposed to teach another rep about my entire business in one email?? UGH.

I fell asleep last night in my work clothes (after I worked until 1am) with a half eaten hot pocket in my hand. Tired and anxiety are words I have given a whole new respect to.

I don't want to sound like I am complaining, because even through all this work crap, I am the happiest I have ever been! But it did get me thinking about what I wanted to put on the blog next and all that came to mind was "something easy".


Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): 1
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 1
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 1 shortest

World's Easiest Salsa
1 Can of stewed or diced tomatoes
2-3 Tbl fresh cilantro (just eye ball a small handful, no need to chop or measure)
1 slice of white, red, or sweet onion
4-6 slices of jarred jalapenos
2 tsp pickled jalapeno juice from jar
Salt and Pepper to taste
2-3 Tbl whole corn kernels (optional)

Just throw all the ingredients (except corn, if using) into a blender, use the pulse setting, and blend until have desired consistency. Taste with a spoon and adjust taste if necessary. If using corn, just stir into salsa with spoon.

I, personally, add lots of cilantro and onion and salt and pepper, because that's the way I like salsa to taste. But you will figure your own out. I love it so much that one time, I finished a whole bowl in one setting. I put it on egg white omelettes too! Tastes delicious.
