Christmas day is here and our family always likes to
take the day slow. We usually sleep in, check to see what kind of surprises Santa left with a
big cup of coffee to drag us out of bed. And then we sit around the kitchen and visit, listen to music (
currently Tom Petty), and cook, prepare, bake, etc... depending on what we have going on and what we are craving. My dad usually gets that look in his eyes and you know that you are in for a kitchen treat.
This morn we decided to counteract all of that sweet that we had yesterday by chopping up some
veggies and made
Pico De Gallo! One of my mom and my favorites.
These spicy pickled garlic cloves my dad got for Christmas yesterday, and we thought it would be the perfect new ingredient to include in his Pico De Gallo. OH, and it was.
Avocados. Not necessarily in season, but still great to add to this concoction. Only put avocados in what you are consuming or it will all be brown in a couple of days.
Our final result. Delicious, snack to counteract all of the sweet toothing we did and will be continuing today! YUM!
Back to more eating! I hope everyone is enjoying their Holidays!
Merry Christmas!
Pico De Gallo
equal parts:
Green, Yellow, and Red Peppers
Onion
Jalapeno (quantity depending on how spicy you want it)
Tomatoes
Garlic (we did 8 cloves [our bowl was about 2 gallons])
How FANTASTIC are these beauties! I want to make many in different styles. I found out how to make them... (I will let you know when I run across it again!). You can find this one here and you can find many of the different styles here. These would make my coffee taste just a hair better I believe ;)!
