Today is food Friday. I wanted to talk about two things.
#1 Pintrest. Love it for finding new things to take me out of the boring and into something new. So many of the things posted are healthy. Thank heavens, because it takes a lot of will power to not add the ingredients needed for home made fudge, toffe, twix bars, and samoas, to my grocery list. Pintrest is a great tool for a good home cook.
#2 Mrs. Renfro's Green Salsa. Wow! By chance I picked this up. Normally I just get Pace. It works it's not great or bad. But I am always looking for something new. This is a keeper. I love it. The ingredients are jalapeno's onions vinegar and garlic. And some spices too. I love it, and have been having it on anything I can think of. It was good on grilled cheese, and on a plain tortilla. But it is not kidding when it says hot. It is hot. But if you eat it in moderation and not smother your food in it you should not set your mouth on fire like I did earlier today. ( I was feeling greedy) At most it will be a nice tingling sensation with a little bit of forehead sweat. The salsa is made in Texas and It is only 10 calories per serving! Which is also awesome.
#3 Ok I lied,
I tried elderberry jelly this week. Fantastic! Also a keeper. The Jelly I tried was from Windmill Farms in Perry Utah. Tasty stuff. Awesome on PB and J. Just a little bit tart and sweet and it is somewhere in between grapes and cherries as far as flavor is concerned. I now look forward to my kids unfinished sandwiches these days. It was fantastic on whole wheat toast with fresh goats cheese. Made for an amazing lunch.
I now want an elderberry bush or 7 so I can make my own jelly.
food is awesome!
