Salsa recipe from Chili/Salsa/Dessert Cookoff 2011

Here is the recipe I used:
2 roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 14.5 oz cans mexican style diced tomatoes
2 jalapenos, seeded and coarsely chopped ***see note below
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cumin, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large vidalia onion, coarsely chopped ***see note below
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/3 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until blended.

***NOTE- for our cookoff, I use only 1 jalapeno and white onion with a dash of sugar.

Hug and Kisses Crescents from Hershey Kisses Recipes

This was very easy to make and would probably be fun to try with your kids!

24 Hersey Kisses or Hershey Hugs
Powdered sugar

1) Heat oven to 375F. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Remove wrappers from chocolates.

2) Place 2 chocolates at center of wide end of each triangle; place an additional chocolate on top of other 2 pieces. Starting at wide end, roll to opposite point; pinch edges to seal. Place rolls, pointed side down, on ungreased cookie sheet. Curve into crescent shape.

3) Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; sift with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
