I try to make complete meals. But then I make part of a meal (see picture of juicy, sweet nectarine salsa) and start eating it with blue corn tortilla chips, and suddenly I’m way to tired to make a whole meal. And then dinner becomes large amounts of chips and salsa washed down with a bowl of ice cream. Gulp. You understand. It’s the first week of school. I’ve been running around like a crazy lady all week. And when I’m not running around like a crazy lady, I feel the need to be inhaling any and all snacks. So don’t be mad at me for posting something deliciously snack-y, ok? You didn’t really want to make dinner anyways, did you? Before you start going crazy with the blue corn tortilla chips, let me say this about Nectarine Basil Salsa: it’s important to have a ripe, sweet, juicy nectarine. Good nectarines can be hard to find, and I seem to be a magnet for the bad ones. I knew this and yet I still spent 5 precious minutes picking out “good” nectarines at the grocery store. And surprise – those bad, non-juicy ones found me. All I can say is thank goodness for sugar. And pick your nectarines carefully. You wouldn’t want to mess this snack meal up. So, um, how do you find a juicy nectarine? No reviews Please and thank you.
