Restaurant Style Salsa Recipe - Pinterest Challenge #4

I was craving fresh salsa today. So what did I do? Checked Pinterest for an easy and super delish recipe! The Pioneer Woman's recipe came up and I made it.

It was super easy, and delicious!

For Ree's full recipe with photos click HERE. 

The only changes I made were to only put half a jalepeno in (this depends on how much heat your family can handle) and I also put one can of original Rotel and one can of Mild.

 Let me know how it turns out! 

I give this recipe a thumbs up and a 

stamp of approval! 

And I know I don't have very many of the other "Pin" types in my challenge, it's just that I haven't tried anything that's been horrible yet! :)

Greek Yogurt Ranch

I am a snacker. I LOVE to snack. It's a really bad habit and I've been trying to better my snacking options with healthier ones. 

Recently I've fallen in love with a quick and easy ranch substitute that is way better for you! I love to eat this with fresh cucumbers. It is a healthier way to satisfy your cravings.

I bring you, Greek Yogurt Ranch!

Here's the recipe:

It's Monday, the week of Thanksgiving, and I am busy prepping to visit family out of town for the holiday! I can't wait to go and be with family and celebrate all we are thankful for! 

Today's recipe is one I made to go with dinner last night. It is super easy, kinda high in calories and sugar (but who's counting?!) and super delish! It helped me to use up some of my apples and Halloween candy. Hope you enjoy it!
