Blogging is honestly a lot of fun for me. My most difficult part with it is applying it strictly to my business. I start to run out of ideas that are fun and interesting. Soon my words start to sound robotic. So to mix things up I am going to start posting some things that I am doing in addition to my graphic design work.
Honestly I do feel bad for those who have a hard time finding a hobby. My usual response is "take one of mine!". But then again I would have a hard time giving one of them up. Today is about my hobby cooking. For literally years I have tried to make salsa at home. Each attempt is simply ok. Nothing good just ok. And I like to think my cooking is amazing. So with the abundance of tomatoes from my garden (another hobby) I decided to give it another try.
So first I had to find an inspirational recipe. Thanks to my new crush Pinterest I found an image that gave me just what I needed. It is actually from a local B&B. Which makes it even better for me. When I reviewed the recipe I found that half the ingredients are roasted in the oven. Hmmm ... I think I had heard of that before. Now that sounds fun! The next best part is you can this salsa. This means yummy salsa all year round and huge savings. All I needed that I didn't get from neighbor's or relative's gardens was the poblano peppers. I had everything else including jars.
Making this recipe couldn't be easier. I did double the recipe and ended up with almost six jars of salsa. Some parts were a little messy. But I don't mind messy. My only recommendation is to seed the tomatoes. The end result was 1.5 jars of salsa gone in two days! Absolutely delicious! So good that today I am making another batch today. Here is the link to the recipe I hope you give it a try and send the Brayton B&B a little thank you for their amazing recipe!
