Depends on how much you want to make.

  • 1 can of whole tomatoes crushed by hand
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • handful of green onions chopped up
  • handful of fresh cilantro chopped
  • garlic and salt to taste
  • 1/2 a regular white onion
  • jalepeno sauce if you want to make it hot

Note from Steph: This is an amazing salsa, because the freshness of the tomatoes and cilantro make it taste very light.

From the kitchen of: Pat Mineart.

This is one of my favorite dips ever, and it’s really simple to make. It does make about twice as much as one would expect to set out at a party, so you could halve the recipe, or don’t make other dips.

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese
  • 1 package dry Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 can tiny deveined shrimp

Crush shrimp and blend together other ingredients, then chill before serving.
