Salsa!

I received a food processor for Christmas from my wonderful mother, and for a good couple of weeks I was too afraid of it to use it! I had never before seen one used in my whole life - everyone I knew used blenders. I was a bit nervous to use it with all of its various attachments but once I got over that it's been incredibly useful!! At this point I barely remember what it was like to not have a food processor, I think everyone should buy one!

I made this salsa for Super Bowl Sunday, and it really does taste just like the salsa at a Mexican restaurant!! The Husband and I don't like chunky salsa, so I made sure to process it until it was super smooth!
