Easy Salsa recipe

1 can mexican style stewed tomatoes
1/2 bunch of cilantro
small hunk of onion

Throw it all in a food processor till chopped and blended. Put in a strainer over a bowl to drain off excess liquid. Quick, easy, cheap and delicious. I have used the strained juice in my mexican style rice or you can freeze it. It’s easy to go overboard on the onion so start small. You can tweak the recipe for your family by adding lime, jalapenos, green chilies, etc. I have used this recipe many many times and love the fresh taste of it.  .

51 McCormick Grill Mates = FREE!

Today, we went to Albertson’s and scored 51 McCormick Grill Mates spices and three Near East rice mixes – all FREE!  The spices were on sale for $1 each and we used 51 $1 off McCormick spice coupons found in the 3/13 Red Plum, plus Suzanne had three coupons for free Near East rice mixes. It will be fun to donate spices to the food bank.  Saved $192.06, spent $0.  Woo hoo!  (And don’t worry, we didn’t clear the shelves.)

Best Cornbread Ever

Photo courtesy of Anson Mills
This is hands down, the most velvety, best cornbread you will ever have.  Be sure to bake it in an iron skillet if you have one.  Did you know that cast iron cookware leaches small amounts of iron into the food?
1/4 lb. butter (1 stick)
2/3 C. sugar
2 eggs
1 C. buttermilk (I always use 1 small container of plain yogurt instead of buttermilk.  If you want to use buttermilk and don’t have any, mix 1 C. milk with 2 T. vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 C. cornmeal
1 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Heat the oven to 375. Melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, quickly add the eggs and beat till well blended.  Add the buttermilk (or yogurt), baking soda and stir till combined.  Add the cornmeal, flour, and salt, stirring till just combined.  Pour into greased (or non-stick sprayed) iron skillet or 8″ square baking pan.  Bake 30-40 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean.
