CHUNKY SALSA

I made some for myself today as a snack. Its a great healthy snack (Without the tortilla chips. I ate it with saltine crackers not bad at all).  A year ago my husband showed me how to load a dishwasher, obviously I hadn't been in a kitchen much though this was one of the few things I knew how to make. This is how I do it

1 tomato

1 onion

2 tbs cilantro chopped fine

1 jalapeno chopped fine (makes it quite spicy)

Juice of 1/2 a lime

and my favorite, a dash of chipotle tobasco which gives it the perfect kick.

Mix it all up in a bowl and dip in!!

AND I couldn't have done it without my handy helper. I LOVE this onion chopper, recommended by a friend and mother of two. Thank You!!!

HERE YOU ARE!!

Welcome to my first blog first post!! Last year and a few days ago I moved to foodie city as I call it, Chicago. For the last year I have googled and yelped restaurants for great vegetarian food, found a few worth mentioning and not just in this city. SO here is my list of "best ever"...Vegetarian foods at restaurants, a few recipes that I like, kitchen tools I cant live without, healthy ideas (I have to lose weight) and other musings that distract me from eating.

If you have a veggie recipe, product or restaurant you love send me a link, I would love to try it out and feature it.
