tomatillo goodness:

Lets be honest folks, I have sucked at posting "healthy snack" recipes.
I'm repenting. Starting today.

Behold!
Tomatillo Salsa!:
<span class=
  • About 12 tomatillos (mas o menos), husked and chopped roughly
  • 1/2 large white onion, chopped roughly
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro (make sure its very fragrant...it means its a good bunch), chopped roughly
  • spoonful of minced garlic
  • about 1/4 cup lime juice
  • salt to taste

{all ingredients can be more or less, make it your own!}
  • Throw the chopped tomatillos into your food processor until there are no large chunks (to your liking)
  • dump the tomatillo mush into a mesh strainer to rid yourself of extra juice (NOT necessary but I like to do it), then dump into a bowl
  • Place the rest of the ingredients in food processor until there are no large chunks (to your liking)
  • stir it all together!

Its that easy folks. If you heart a lime+cilantro marriage of flavor like I do, this is for you. Its not spicy, but zingy from all the lime. If you want to make it spicy add some jalapeno in there. My only warning is you will probably eat the huge bowl it makes, all by yourself.

Yum! What is a tomatillo? I've always wondered and never had one, used one, eaten one?
I love your red wall in your new place. The first thing we did when we bought our house was paint a red wall. It's my favorite!
Did I mention I'm glad your back! I've missed your posts but you've done phenomenally at catching up.

A couple things here.... I love tomatillo salsa, it is so darn good. I love your new house. It is so amazing, I want to visit. If I came to visit could we have lots of parties? I think if we lived close we would, a lot of them. I think the last one is that I am glad you appreciate my dirty comments on Jessicas blog. I make myself laugh thats for sure, and I think thats all that counts well and Jessica oh and you. If we new eachother better, knew eachothers dirty secrets I would leave dirty comments on yours too. Ok this is way to long to be a comment. Its more like a email. I hope you enjoyed it.
