Recipes

I'm popping up some recipes that people have asked me to share. I have some great works for me Wednesday ideas, but they'll have to wait until next week!

Canned Salsa

A case of Roma Tomatoes (skinned and blended, leave some a bit chunky- I don't skin mine)

2 large bulbs of garlic diced and mashed

10 onions (more or less to taste)

10 green peppers (to taste)

10 hot peppers (more or less)

2 large bunches cilantro

sea salt (to taste)

8 to 10 tb lemon juice ( I do 1tb per quart)

It's really simple: Puree half the tomatoes and other half leave chunky. In the pureed batch I put in cilantro, garlic, onion, and green peppers. My blender does a great job. If you want it chunkier pieces place in with the tomatoes you are doing chunky.

Pop everything into a 13 quart stock pot (that's the size I have). Add salt and juice to taste. Juice is needed for extra acidity because lots of our tomatoes are lower acid. (I've never had a problem though)

Let all ingredients simmer for a couple hours in the pot.
Water bath quart jars of salsa for 20 minutes. Store for about a year.


Blender Salsa

Large can of peeled whole tomatoes (Warehouse Size)

2 onions

2 green peppers

2 to 3 hot peppers ( whatever I have available)

1/2 bunch of cilantro

6 cloves (or so) garlic

sea salt ( to taste)

Blend whole tomatoes lightly for chunkiness.
Blend all other ingredients to desired consistency in the juice of the tomatoes.
Add lime or lemon juice if desired.

This makes around a gallon. Great parties! I also freeze in container for dinners.

Last recipe!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...
