Welcome to my blog!

I am often asked for my favorite healthy recipes and have decided to share them here. All of the recipes use only whole grains and unrefined sweeteners. REAL FOODS! I love to eat healthy foods and I love to share my passion with others. I do not pretend to be an expert and I learn more every day. So, come in, look around, and hopefully you will find something you like!

Every Kiss Begins with Kaye's Salsa

Well, I'd sure kiss someone if he made this salsa for me.  A lot.  This salsa--from my sister's mother-in-law--is most delicious.  I may say that it's my favorite.  I wouldn't be lying.  Life is better with this salsa in it.  The recipe says to leave it in the fridge overnight to let the flavors develop, which is understandably necessary, but I just know that I can only do this if my salsa somehow lasts into the evening.  Good thing it's a large recipe (you may want to half it or can some).  Also, you can use fresh tomatoes.  Grab a spoon!  I mean, some chips...

4 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 bunch green onion with tops, chopped
1, 7 oz. can green chiles
2, 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
2 tsp. dried chiles*
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Mix together and refrigerate overnight to let flavors blend. (I also use the immersion blender on it a little since I like a smoother salsa.)



*Kaye's note: The dried chiles are found in the Mexican food section.  They are generally labeled New Mexico or California chiles.  You can use regular chili powder, but I [Kaye] like the dried best.
