Salsa

2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
1 large can (7 oz) green chilies
3 cloves garlic
4 green onions
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp dried cilantro (optional)


Place all in food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Chill.

I use this salsa on just about EVERYTHING! It is great on tortilla chips, of course. But also use it to top baked potatoes, brown rice, tacos, fajitas, eggs, breakfast burritos, and so much more!
Play around with the amounts of spices on this, add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to the mix, add some jalapeno slices. SO many ways to customize this and make it new every time.

Thin Mint Pie

1 chocolate graham cracker crust
8 oz whipped topping
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz block cream cheese, softened
1 box (2 sleeves) Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookies, crushed
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Place cookies in a plastic baggie and crush them with a wooden spoon.
Mix whipped topping and cream cheese with mixer until smooth and creamy. Add remaining ingredients (minus crust) and mix until well incorporated.

Place filling in chocolate crust and chill. We sometimes freeze ours and slice it. Serve cold, can be topped with fresh sprig of mint and a Thin Mint cookie.
