Happy Thursday everyone! Hope your week has gone well so far, only one more day until the weekend. We are trying to stay warm over here. Yesterday and today the temperature has been below zero, yes...you read that right. Below zero. Stepping outside makes your whole body go into a state of shock and it can get hard to breathe. It doesn't help that one of my friends is enjoying 86 degree weather in California and in shorts! 20 degrees above zero sounds warm right now. This weekend it is supposed to get warmer...but definitely not 86 degrees. (Joss ship some of that weather over here)!
The #1 appetizer at our house. Whenever it is made it doesn't stay long at all - especially since it is mixed with tomatoes, cilantro, onions, & green chilies. It will taste much better the longer you marinate it and bright red tomatoes are a must. This pairs perfectly with Mexican food. Hope you've all enjoyed my Top Ten Appetizer countdown, hope you try some of our favorite appetizers!
Texas SalsaIngredients:
2 large red tomotaos, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
2 (4-oz.) cans chopped green chilis
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients together. Marinate for 1-2 hours before serving. Serve with tortilla chips.

Most of you guys on the west coast have probably heard of Knott's Berry Farm. Every time we take a trip out to California we always make sure to spend a day there. It is one of my favorite amusement parks and a day there is so enjoyable. One of my favorite rides there used to be Ghost Rider. After riding that ride last July, it is no longer a favorite. It is no longer a favorite because Ghost Rider is now extremely bumpy. Made you feel like your insides were going to come out. These pictures (the one below wasn't taken by me), are all at Knotts.

Wow! That's super cold. This salsa sounds great especially with that cilantro.
We're getting frozen over here too, I can't seem to find enough blankets for me and my kids!
I LOVE salsa, especially when it's fresh. I can't wait to try this out!
Holy smackers that's cold! It's in the 50's here and people have jackets and gloves and hats like it's 20 below. This salsa is like mine except I finely grate some carrots in it, but shhh don't tell anyone. ;)

Fresh made salsa is a favorite in our house, too.

All=so, love Knott's Berry Farm. I'm from Northern CA.
I have never actually made fresh salsa, but this looks like a great recipe!
That salsa looks so good, and your picture "bubble" captions are hilarious. Don't mind at all if you add me, thanks!! Have a great weekend!
I had the same experience on that ride at Knotts Berry Farm. Nothing beats fresh homemade salsa, especially when tomatoes are in season! I love green salsa too.
This looks so good...definately gonna be making this!
Yes that is fine!!
I like this salsa with all the flavours in it - very cool indeed. Pass the taco chips and I'm happy.
