Restaurant Style Salsa

This is totally a copy cat recipe (from The Pioneer Woman ). But that's okay. You can't go wrong with any of her recipes. It was divine! And I'll be making it again soon. We polished it off in no time.... with help from the neighbors. ;) Ingredients 1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice 2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel, 1 mild & 1 original ( use two mild if you want it without much of a kick, but one of each was perfect for us .) ¼ cup Chopped Onion 1 clove Garlic, Minced 1 whole Jalapeno (I did mine with no seeds) ¼ teaspoons Sugar 1 teaspoon Salt (or slightly less, but not more... it gets stronger as it merries) ¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin ½ cups Cilantro Juice of a whole lime, if small Instructions Chop up onion, garlic, & jalapeno. Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in food processor. Yes, I know.... I realized very quickly I was going to have to do this in 2 batches because I have a small Cuisinar...

Disclaimer: I know I've previously posted a recipe with this same title. In practically EVERY case, I have made every recipe on this site. On occasion, I get one from someone and assume it is good. I received this recipe and it wasn't exactly as I would have liked or imagined. I have a wonderful peanut butter ball recipe (which came from my mother-in-law) that I use for making Christmas candy each year. So I put it to use and the result was fabulous. For that reason, I am reposting this as my own version.... which I of course feel is much better. The peanut butter is extremely smooth and super delicious! Makes about 60 bites or so depending on the size you roll the balls. Filling ingredients : 2 cups powdered sugar 1 1/2 cups peanut butter 3 tbsp softened butter (not margarine) Waffle shaped pretzels (squares or rounds) Melting chocolate Directions : Put filling ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined and smooth. (Sorry about the picture. Had to use an old camera f...

Mini Ham and Egg Cups

I found this recipe here at Coleen's Recipes . It's a great recipe and I enjoy her blog. However I'm not a big fan of soft yolks or fried eggs in general. I'm a scrambled egg girl... with cheese, of course. :) So I adapted this recipe to my liking (don't we all do that to a recipe?). These could totally be adapted to have whatever you wanted in your scrambled egg mixture to be more of a quiche, too. Super fun and flexible! Ingredients: 3 eggs 2 Tbsp milk salt and pepper Cheese, cubed 12 Deli Ham slices (Makes 6 Ham and Egg Cups or increase ingredients to make as many as you need.) Mix up into a measuring cup with a pouring spout (it will be easier, I promise). I actually ended up cutting these up a little smaller so that they'd be sure to melt. Put an ungreased muffin pan into the oven and preheat the oven to 400. Once 400 is reached, remove the pan, and turn the oven up to 450. Quickly spray the tins with non-stick spray and put 2 ham slices in each muffin cu...
