I Found It!!!

Growing up, I had several nicknames. One my dad used to call my sister and I was his "bumblebees." My friends mom called me "Emmy Lou," (not really sure why), and my Grandpa has always called me "Miss Em." But, there is one nickname that I am most known for in the Doan household, and that is "Miss Chip." My dad calls me that because I definitely have what I would call a "salty tooth." I am not much for sweets, but give me pretzels any day! My favorite snack in all the world is chips and salsa. I love salsa. I love spicy salsa. But I DON'T like chunky salsa. I like the more "juicy" kind. Well, since we moved here, I have been on a mission. That mission is to find a recipe for a salsa that I would like. The reason for that is because I cannot find any salsa here I like, and almost all the ones they sell at my grocery store is chunky. So, I tried a few recipes last summer, but was not satisfied.

Now, there is something else you should know. My favorite salsa of ALL TIME is not bought in a store, but is served at my most favorite restaurant of ALL TIME - Chili's. I love their salsa. I used to go there and that is all I would order. Bottomless chips and salsa. I usually ask for a little container to take the leftovers home with me. I have even asked if they sell it, but they don't.

Now to my point of this post. The other day I got the bright idea to Google "Chili's Salsa," and see what I could find. Well, it took me to a bunch of salsa recipes, but one caught my attention. After reading the reviews on it, and hearing the people say it was the closest they had tasted, I decided to try it. The result - I FOUND IT!!!! It is very close to the salsa Chili's serves! I am so excited! It is really yummy, and super easy! It only takes about 5 mins to make! Oh, I cannot tell you all how excited I am! YAY!

Anyways, I just wanted to share that. So, in the words of my brother Jeremy -"That is all."

p.s. I out together a little slide show about Liam, but cannot figure out how to get in on the blog, so I will have to ask my brother Andrew how to do it. But soon, I will post it so you all can see. It is supposed to go with my last entry!
