Upcoming videos and experiences
Scanning through the cookbook, I think I know whats upcoming. I had planned on making chiles… Salsas. The chapter is called Salsas y Encurtidos/Sauces and condiments. The one I’m most excited for is the chile verde… The one that used tomatillos. Theres a salsa or chile that I recently found via fast food chain, Taco Bell. Taco Bell calls it their Avocado Salsa, I think. And I recently bought the equivalent at Walmart. It’s from the Herdez brand. Avocado Salsa. It is delicious with anything! I had leftover Taco Bell packets and I was eating Sardines packed in water.. If you haven’t tried Sardines packed in water, please do! The sardines have many health benefits including Omegas that are great for heart health. So, back to my experience… I bisect the sardines and take out the spines, I don’t like to eat the spines. I feed them to my cat or to my dogs. Then I squirted the avocado salsa into the sardine can, and ate the sardines. Oh my goodness!! This was delicious. The avocado salsa has a nice tang from the tomatillos and the savoriness from the avocadoes. This is something that my dad and family have always raved about. This fascination of taking any delicious salsa and putting it with anything you’re eating. Turkey and stuffing? Salsa! Huevos estrellados (scrambled eggs) Salsa! Even sandwiches, stews, soups! Anything edible, add salsa to it! I had never really felt the same about any salsas I had made or bought. One of my other favorite brands of salsa? Mateo’s brand red salsa. They have different levels of heat and are color coded. Red is hot, yellow is medium and the yellow green color is mild. I often buy the red, and if the red isn’t available, I settle for the yellow. And I just learned they have an orange colored jar that’s extra spicy from habaneros. I will have to be brave and try that one some time. Whats your favorite type of salsa? Whats your go-to brand or favorite family recipe? Something I look forward to doing is once I’m finished making recipes from the cookbook, I will have to try my own versions of the recipe. And I’m really looking forward to sharing a few recipes of my own salsas. I love using poblanos, bell peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes, and even serrano peppers. This is definitely a long blog entry, but if you take anything from it, just know that the future of my blog and youtube looks great and I can’t wait to get back into the kitchen and share these amazing recipes with you..
