Family Favorites

I am always on the look out for recipes that are good on the wallet , health and taste buds.  I have some picky kids and this makes things difficult at times.  I was searching on the Kraft Canada website and I found one that is certain to be a family favorite.  Here is the link ,   http://www.kraftcanada.com/en/recipes/sweet-citrus-chicken-106052.aspx   , give it a try and let me know what you think.

I am always so honored to get something that is special. Recently, I inherited a wooden butter bowl, from my husbands parents.  It has inspired me to try my hand at making butter.  On Monday I will be going to the grocery to buy some heavy cream , I can't wait to taste it.  I was raised by my Grandparents so I have learned many things that kids my age wouldn't have learned.  I think this is something my kids will get a kick from and It will bring back so many great childhood memories. 

It is less than a month until we surprise the kids with another Disney trip.  We are going for their birthdays and our Anniversary .  I could really use a holiday!! I will be continuing on my 365 and will post soon.

Cheers

Bring on The Salsa!

I know that I have promised my salsa recipe and here it is. This is a huge thing for me! I usually don't give away my favorite recipes. I figured why not, I'm not the only one in the world eating it and it is probably the same as someone elses.

30 tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
10 cups chopped onions
10 cloves garlic
4-5 yellow banana pepper or 1 cup chopped jalapenos
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
2 cups vinegar or lemon juice
8 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 large cans tomato paste

Simmer 1 1/2 hr, stirring often, at the end of cooking time add 1/2 bunch of cilantro if desired.Jar and process, 35 minutes for pint jars and 45 minutes for quart jars.Makes about 17 pints

It really is good and doesn't last long around my house so I hope someone will enjoy it.
