A tale of a kitty

I just had to use that pun... a tale of a kitty :-) 

I'm not a big fan of Halloween.  I despise the scary, creepy, gory costumes and decorations.  But I am coming around on the cute kids out trick or treating... especially the polite ones.  We didn't have anything going on this year and Selah's too young to trick or treat and because of that I didn't want to spend money on a costume.  Thankfully, her grammy Bobbi bought her a cute little Halloween outfit and had the idea to just buy a couple kitty accessories and voila, she's a kitty cat.  It worked so well!

She looked adorable and got lots of  "awwws" when kids and parents came to the door trick or treating.  Although, she kept pulling off her tail and ears.  But despite that, she sure did look cute. Happy Halloween!

Salsa lover

I love salsa.  I mean I really, really love salsa.  Here's the catch.  I'm very, very picky about my salsa. I do not like jarred salsa from the grocery store.  I do not like them Sam I am.  I do not like salsa that tastes primarily of tomato.  Of all the Mexican restaurants I've been to, and I've been to a lot, I think I've only loved 2, maybe 3 of them.  When I say love, I mean, I could sit there and dip chip after chip after chip.  I care more about the chips and salsa then I do my main meal.  

I don't create recipes.  I copy them.  I've found a really solid salsa recipe that I simply must share.  And one of the reasons I love it so much is that the Pioneer Woman and I share equally high standards for salsa.  And boy oh boy, she did not disappoint with her restaurant style salsa.  Whip this up and enter salsa heaven.

PS She does mention this in her post but I'll reiterate, it makes a very large batch.  My food processor isn't big enough to hold it all so be mindful of that and make it in 2 batches. Otherwise your food processor will leak all over like mine did because I tried to force it all in hahaha oops!
