Simple Summer Salsa

by Stephanie

Simple Summer Salsa

I thought it was high time for a recipe so I bring you the Simple Summer Salsa!

I rarely buy salsa anymore after realizing how easy (and delicious!) it is to make it. This literally took five minutes especially if you have a food processor. Use fresh and local cherry tomatoes when they start coming into the farmer’s market for your the best salsa!

I eat this simple salsa with eggs, burgers, and chips (those are brown rice chips made from tortillas in the photo below!). Enjoy and let me know if you make it!

The hubs has been very diligent about getting out The hubs has been very diligent about getting out for his steps and most time it’s at night. It takes more of an effort for me, but when I go it’s magical especially in the snow with all of the lights. Plus we get the added benefit of fresh air before bed. I highly recommend it!

There ‘s a lot you can do to stay healthy in this There ‘s a lot you can do to stay healthy in this super sick season. 

As much as possible eat whole foods. I have teens so you know… this isn’t always in my control but do what you can at home.

Wash your hands! You don’t need antibacterial soap… just regular soap will do the trick.

Keep up with vitamins and minerals. Lemon water with a bit of salt first think in the morning and teas throughout the day. 

My kids take the first few supplements every day and the last few when they feel something coming on. 

I’m a huge fan of lemon ginger buckwheat honey tea when sick. Buckwheat works well on coughs!

Eat a big breakfast, go to bed early, get outside and get some exercise. When you’re sick go outside for fresh air.

There’s more weirdo stuff I can tell you about but this is a great start.

(I really hope I don’t jinx our family with this post! 🤪).

P.S. I’m not a doctor. I’m simply telling you what has worked for my family for years.
