Best. Salsa. Ever.

Today has been such a busy day, and I didn't even leave the house! Between cleaning, laundry, work, and Jackson, I kept myself pretty darn busy. Did I mention that our basement and garage flooded a couple week ago?!?! Not only did we have to rip out the carpet and spend hours and hours cleaning up (mostly Brett), we also had to bring most of the stuff from downstairs to the main level. As of today, we finally have all the stuff back downstairs and everything cleaned up on the main level. (The garage and basement are another story!)

In the midst of my busy day, I did have time to make some amazing salsa as part of our dinner. I fell in love with the salsa at my sister's New Year's party. I think it might by my favorite salsa ever!

Recipe:


Mix the following ingredients and let cool in the fridge for 1/2 hour before serving.

• 1 package Zesty Italian Dressing Mix
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 - 1/2 bunch of cilantro
• 4-6 green onions
• 1 can black-eyed peas
• 3 large diced tomatoes
• 2-3 diced avocados
• 1/2 bag frozen white corn
• Salt, garlic salt, and pepper to taste

Chicken Alfredo Pizza, Ashley style

Have you ever had the delicious chicken alfredo pizza from the Olive Garden? It's good, right? I bet you didn't think it could get better, but oh, it can. Our friends made us some chicken alfredo pizza tonight that was even better. Seriously, so good. The sauce and seasoning were amazing, thanks to Ashley, and the dough for the crust was from Winco of all places. Just another reason for me to love Winco. I didn't get a picture of the actual pizza, but it looked a lot like this. I see some pizza making in my future.

Here's the recipe: (I didn't write it down, so I hope this is right.)

• Cook the chicken in oil and garlic powder.
• To make the sauce, heat 1 stick of butter, one cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 cup of parmesan cheese, and some ground red pepper.
• Roll out the pizza dough in a little bit of flour and cover with the sauce, chicken, mozzarella cheese, sliced green onions, ground red pepper, and garlic powder.
• Cook according to the instructions on the dough package (I assume). Enjoy!

And here are our handsome boys playing together...

(Jackson and Pierce are only 5 weeks apart.)

The boys are wearing the shirts we made them, but I'll tell you all about our shirt-making binge in another post. Good night!
