Who doesn't love a bowl of fresh homemade salsa with chips on a cool fall day?! My 8 year old daughter eats salsa like it's dessert, lol. I made this recipe with only two changes, I'll post them at the end. I didn't have enough paste (I really didn't want to run to the store, again!) and none of the stores had fresh chili peppers. But this recipe is definitely a keeper, it's not sweet but not too vinegary either.



Chicken Wraps with a Southwest Sauce

This was a recipe that I stumbled across a few summers ago and it's turned into a regular meal during the grilling months! The chicken gets marinated for a few hours which makes all the difference!  The original recipe served the chicken on an onion roll with the sauce but I found the bread to be a little overpowering, so we make a wrap out of it instead.

Ranch Dressing

I am a huge fan of dips, love them. I love that a dip can make raw vegetables more appetizing for my kids, there are very few dips that I have tried that I didn't like. Although, the one kind that I don't care for are the ones from a bottle or jar. It might just be me but they taste like "manufactured" food to me. And quite frankly, so many things that we buy in a jar are easily made at home, giving you control over what you put in.

This dressing recipe was found online and adjusted a little.
