Pinterest Success: Best Ever Super Easy Salsa...and GO SEAHAWKS!

Happy Hump Day!

Let me start by saying....GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!  What a game!!!  Let me show you my little family's Seahawk pride:

Sunday's breakfast-Puyallup Fair Scones and Seahawk colored fruit!

Leif's first taste of kiwis...not a huge fan.  And not a fan of scones either!  Probably the texture...

Our little Richard Sherman :)

We were able to fit one of Leif's old Seahawk onesies on Miles

We did a jersey change at half time from Sherman to Wilson and that was the ticket!  This is after the game, rolling around on the floor happy

The game was in a sense, stupefying; hubs and I were just in shock at the end trying to figure out what happened!  It was crazy.  I read an article where this gal who was at the game totally canceled her flight to Arizona for the Super Bowl because she thought they were going to lose.  I hope she is kicking herself for that.  We're so excited!

Okay, so after breakfast and when Leif went down for a nap, I tried making "Best Ever Super Easy Salsa".  Here is the pin:

And here is the website

And here are my photos:

We dumped two cans of the fire-roasted tomatoes in and started cutting up the rest of the ingredients

Hubs wanted to help, so he measured out the roasted red peppers

I think all of the ingredients came from Trader Joe's!

Go Ninja Go Ninja Go!

Finished product.  And these Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips are AMAZING.

So here are my modifications:

1. The recipe calls for one small can of green chiles; well, Trader Joe's being amazing, the fire-roasted tomato cans came with green chiles!
2. I tested the salsa after it was blended and added more cilantro, about three more sprigs.  I love cilantro.
3. I used four cloves of garlic, not three
4. I added half more of jalapeño for a little more kick
5. I used all of the lime for the juice
6. I added a few more shakes of salt
7. All these additions were because I felt the red pepper made the salsa a little more sweet

We ate so much salsa on Sunday it was ridiculous.  AND we still have half a big bowl of it left!  This was a great pin, successful indeed; but I wouldn't say it was super easy, just because it required a lot of chopping so that it would fit the blender (and shucking jalapeños takes some skill if your hubs can't stand hot stuff)...
