Salsa

Like I mentioned in the Ice Cream post, we had some chips and salsa that night too. I love chips and salsa. They made the perfect appetizer for everyone while we were waiting for the ice cream to freeze. Here are the 4 kinds we had:

Mango Salsa w/ Peach (from Costco) - one of the best mango salsa's I've had, although my favorite is I do like my other recipe for mango salsa. It's a toss up.

Guacamole - I just smash up a few avacados, throw in some finely diced onion, some cilantro, lime juice, salt, and a pinch of jalapeno. This one was gone right away.

PW's Fresh Corn and Avacado Salsa - all I can say about this one is YUM! I could have eaten it plain, with a spoon - but chips are so good.

Fresh Salsa - I make my salsa kind of like I make my guacamole - a little of this, a little of that, taste it and your good. Sorry. Start with tomatoes, onion, jalapeno & cilantro, then add some lime juice and salt and your good to go. I like to throw bell peppers in it too, just for fun.

Now I need some chips and salsa. Good thing I still have chips in the pantry . . . .

Ice Cream on the Brain

Since we moved into this house back in March I have yet to have a party or get together of any sort (other than the weekend Dave's family came to visit, but that doesn't count). This weekend we are having the first one, and it's an end of summer Ice Cream Party. I got Dave an Ice Cream Freezer for Father's Day and we've been having the most fun with it. I have invited several people with ice cream makers to come with their favorite kind ready to freeze. It'll be fun to try all of the different flavors - I hope.

So, I was thinking it would be fun to have a "Virtual Ice Cream Party" here on the blog. All you have to do is share your favorite Ice Cream recipe. If you don't make ice cream and don't have a favorite recipe (I'm so sorry for you), then just share your favorite brand/flavor/kind/etc. Come on, it'll be fun . . . .

I'll start.

If I am making it, I love a this vanilla recipe (it came with my ice cream maker) with any kind of mix in. So far we've done oreo cookies. This weekend we are adding reeces peanut butter cups. Yum. I am now wanting to venture out of the box and try this recipe for frozen yogurt. It looks fun - when I have the time.

If I am out and about and buying ice cream - my favorite is a Ben and Jerry's Super Fudge Brownie. I think Amelia might have gotten me started on this one years ago.

Now it's your turn:

(p.s. - Mo - if your are bored Saturday night, you should come - 6:30, my place - and don't worry about bringing ice cream - there will be plenty!!)
