Why not grow your own?

Here at Easy Being Green HQ, a lot of salsa is eaten (not so much by me; I'm a wuss), so when the time came to re-evaluate some of our habits, we started wondering if we could make our own.

Looking around this great big internet, we found this recipe from AllRecipes.com
(by the way, this makes 4 Servings)

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup finely diced onion
• 5 serrano chiles, finely chopped (seeds removed)
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons lime juice

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, onion, chili peppers, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Chill for one hour in the refrigerator before serving.

Now that we have the recipe, it's time to gather the ingredients. We need tomatoes, but we don't have any. For now, we'll pick up a few from the grocery store, but we can take matters into our own hands and grow our own with seeds from Burpees. Next are onions and peppers, which, again, we can grow our own. We already grow our own cilantro. Hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Unfortunately, we just don't have room for a lime tree.

Everyone wants a garden, and everyone likes saving money, so why not combine the two? It's like peanut butter and jelly, bab- Hmmm.....I know what I'm going to write about on Friday!

Be good,
