Restaurant-Style Salsa Recipe
by: The Pioneer Woman 
via the Food Network


Ingredients

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel

One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1/2 whole lime, juiced

Directions
Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)

Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

How to cook your fresh veggies & Market recipes!

by Jerome Farmers Market, August 19, 2016
We are so excited for the Market tomorrow. There will be a slew of fresh produce from a number of vendors so we thought we would post about how to cook your wonderfully fresh, organic produce.  There is nothing worse than seeing a beautiful freshly picked veggie go from crisp, delicious and full of flavor to a mushy soggy mess once cooked.  What is the point of fresh veggies if they don't have that wonderful crisp to them? 
So, in order to help you avoid turning these beautiful tasty morsels into mushy flavorless things, here are few tips we found on the internet  on how to cook veggies the right way.  Information provided via onegreenplant.org...

Watermelon Frozen Yogurt Pops

Watermelon Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

Makes 6 popsicles or a small batch of frozen yogurt

-170g/6 oz Plain Chobani Yogurt
-2 cups Seedless Watermelon

Puree the yogurt and watermelon in a food processor or blender until smooth.
If making popsicles: Carefully pour into molds, leaving about 0.5cm room from the top.
