Lime Salsa

Salsa. They are so many varieties that we never make the same one twice. This salsa is sweet + tangy, inviting you to eat more and more. The lime balances out the flavor, not to citrusy, just right.  Use smoked paprika to allow for the flavors to mingle. I only add a bit of cilantro but you can add more if you love it.  It's great with chips but works even better as a topping for fish tacos!

2. Large Tomatoes, cored + chopped

1 Med. red onion, chopped finally
Pinch of Cilantro

3 Cloves garlic, minced

1/4 Cup fresh lime juice [roughly 1 lime]

1 Jalapeno pepper minced, remove stem and seeds

1/2 tbsp. White balsamic Vinegar

1/4 tsp. Chili powder

1/4 tsp. Smoke paprika 

Pinch of cumin

salt + pepper to taste

Father's Day Delight

For Father's day my Father's one request was to get a Bacon Sundae from Burger King.  Don't get me wrong, I love bacon.  Bacon has an amazing ability to elevate anything to the next level and beyond, yet the Burger Kings's Bacon Sundae left me wanting more.  Maybe bacon flavored ice-cream?  Needless to say my Father enjoyed his treat on his special day.
