WOW umm how horrible was the Super Bowl last night?!

I’m a Redskins fan, but was really rooting for Peyton to take home the win…..I definitely did NOT expect it to be almost a complete shut out!  Luckily some of the commercials were pretty good (yeah how cute were the family of dogs?!) and Bruno Mars was entertaining, so there was that.

But enough of Super Bowl let-downs, here’s my favorite salsa!  I’m posting this first because you’ll need this recipe if you want to make the crock pot salsa chicken I’m always talking about.  This is a VERY easy and basic salsa recipe, but I love it because of all the HEAT and great flavor!  If you like your salsa spicy, I would suggest adding two jalapenos instead of one……I definitely did.  Just throw everything in your food processor and voila!

    That salsa looks wonderful. My daughter loves homemade salsa so we’ll have to try that.
    Sorry all – the game was FANTASTIC! Us Northwesterners know how special our Hawks are and we are celebrating!

    My friend brought over homemade salsa one time and store- bought has never tasted the same. I will have to try this recipe out!

    That salsa looks amazing! Since the Broncos beat the Patriots, I was rooting for the Seahawks, however I actually ended up feeling bad for the Broncos. 🙁 A game like that is no fun.

  5. Melissa @ Nourish By Melissa says:

    Looks great! I love that you added some stevia to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. So many people forget to add some sweetness to tomato based recipes!

  6. Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says:

    LOVE homemade salsa. I can’t eat jarred unless its salsa verde — the red stuff HAS to be homemade and I always add extra jalapenos… the heat is fantab!
