tuesday night comfort snacks
Last night at promptly 10 p.m. we played our first softball game of the season. By 10:35 p.m. it was over. Our team is not very good. So, instead of crying or throwing my glove down, I came home and mixed up a batch of pink salsa to console not only my spirit by taste buds as well.
This recipe comes from the nightly snacks that are served in cabana at camp. It tastes like fresh, smooth comfort in my mouth. Do not think that you can simply buy the canned version because it is not as good. Homemade recipes taste better, hold more satisfation and are easy. Don’t wimp out, even if you are down by 20 in the second inning.
Oh, I also ate this for breakfast this morning along with Sunny D straight from the bottle. yum.
Pink Salsa
for a few
Ingredients
• two 8 oz. packages of cream cheese (room temp)
• one 16 oz. jar of salsa (whichever heat intensity you prefer)
• one lime
Tools
• large bowl
• food processor (optional)
Steps
• in a large bowl combine the cream cheese, salsa and the juice from the lime. (You can use the food processor to do this but a fork works just as well. I was lazy and didn’t want to clean the processor post salsa, so I mashed the ingredients around with a fork.)
• refrigerate for a few hours
• do not eat it all at once by yourself
