I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

CU Salsa

1 large clove garlic
2 to 6 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
4 small tomatillos (about 1/2 cup)
6 plum tomatoes, diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 green pepper, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 Tbsp.)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cumin (optional)

In a food processor, finely chop garlic and jalapenos. Add tomatillos and chop again. Remove the mixture and combine it with the remaining ingredients. Can be served immediately, but flavors will blend together better if it is chilled for several hours or overnight. Makes about 7 half cup servings, 0 W.W. points per serving.

Consumer Reports (Consumers Union) sometimes publishes their own recipes when comparing products. They are always good. This is their recipe for salsa.
