The Preacher and I lived in a small town on the Western slope of Colorado for two years before we had kids. It was a charming little town. One of the most endearing things for my Spanish-speaking hubby and non-Spanish speaking-but-Mexican-food-loving me, was the smattering of authentic taquerias and Mexican restaurants found around town. I remember the first time I ordered “Shrimp Cocktail” from one of our favorite hole-in-the walls, forever curious to try new ethnic concoctions.

I’m addicted to chips and salsa, as is evidenced by the half bag of multi-grain tortilla chips and the all but devoured bowl of salsa that lurks about my house on any given day. I’ve taken to making up a batch of homemade salsa weekly so as to feed this addiction. Here’s my recipe. Don’t blame me if you get hooked… 1 large can of diced tomatoes 1 jalapeno, seeded half yellow onion 1 large garlic clove handful of cilantro about 1 tsp. dried oregano about 2 tsp. vinegar salt and pepper to taste a small dash of sugar Throw everything in a blender, and chop. Taste and adjust. I really love to serve mine with chunks of ripe avocado thrown right into the bowl.
