Cori hardly gets the opportunity to do any grocery shopping. It is a job I usually take care of. The poor guy has to settle for my food selections and menu choices. He never complains though I know there are things he'd like me to buy/cook more often (frozen foods, white bread, and various meat products to name a few). Once in a while he comes with me, and when he does I end up buying 50% more than usual.My mom's visit this week has afforded us some time away. We spent the other morning shopping. I like to go to the farmer's market down the street before I go to the store. The prices are great and most of what they have is locally grown and is sooooooooo tasty. With Cori's help, we ended up with an impressive array of produce. This was an easy dish that used up a chunk of our stash.
Hot Corn Salsa
by me
1 large beefsteak tomato
3 ears sweet corn
1 green bell pepper
3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
1/2 of a medium red onion
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 C jalapeno cheese
juice of one lime
- Dice the pepper, tomato and onion. Cut the corn off the cob (raw). Shred cilantro and cheese.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pepper, tomato and raw corn. Saute until tender crisp.
- Take skillet off heat and stir in diced tomato, cilantro and lime juice.
- Season to taste and top with cheese.

I’m so excited for you to have your mom there. Living so close to both our families is great but we never get the excitement of having someone come to visit or an excuse to pack up and go some where.
my mouth is watering. I love mexican food.
Mmm, sounds delicious! Do you eat it with chips?
Hides- I bet it would be good with chips! We just had it as a side dish next to a BBQ'd pork tenderloin and some watermelon.
Another idea: put it over greens for a taco salad. You could rub fajita seasoning on chicken breasts and cook em up. Dressing: salasa mixed with ranch or something else.... do you have any good taco salad dressing recipies or ideas?
