Serious Salsa

It was a pretty normal Taco Tuesday in our house. Tons of food, fun and friends. We go big but keep it simple by basically serving up dozens of tacos. Tonight we inhaled about three dozen in total which is not uncommon during our weekly celebration but still impressive.

To top it all off, pun intended, was this salsa. Taco Tuesday took a turn for the better when this dish seriously sidled it's way in and then immediately took over.

Deliciously blended and easy on the eyes, it became the perfect accompaniment to our beef tacos, chicken fajitas and nachos. The salsa's corn popped with the onion which accented the tomato to blend with the beans. They all came together with kitchen chemistry to create a refreshingly Mexican side dish.

A small portion was uneaten and guess which lucky hosts got to keep the leftovers?

Late Night Snack Packing via Tupperware

We packed up the goodies and some seriously strong coffee late last night to take to comfort friends. Tupperware made it tastefully possible. Pun intended. You can see that we "skullfully" decked out our coffee thermos, alongside the infamous dual-purpose cupcake/cake holder and portable dish. Perfect comforting combo. Tupperware is an essential element to your kitchen. Piece-meal it together to create your set, host a party and always hit up thrift shops for bargain finds on foods finest carrier.

Peter Timbs Is Our Favorite Dinner Party Guest

Recently I hosted a dinner party where I fed nine guests. I served round steaks and admittedly I'm not very good at cooking steak. Despite my originating from Texas, my kitchen confidence when it comes to steaks is low. The solution to that is to use very high quality meat to start off with. We chose Peter Timbs as we often do, and not surprisingly, all the guests were very pleased.
I marinated them for about an hour with a simple concoction of fresh garlic, salt and pepper before grilling them. They came out juicy and delicious. I was very proud of myself but I truly give all the credit to Peter making him the best guest of the evening.
Choose a top butcher for your meat needs because quality cannot be masked and you literally can taste all the difference!
