In honor of Taco Tuesday, I am sharing my quick and simple Pico de Gallo recipe. I love Pico and all types of salsa. The best thing about both of them is that chips can be used as the vehicle, and I have never met a chip that I did not like. The secret to a great Pico is to keep it simple.

How is it that I never had hummus until I was in college!? Maybe it is because I am from the Midwest, but I know that we had hummus there. In fact, I am from Michigan where there is a town called Dearborn; that has one of the biggest middle eastern populations outside of the middle east. I guess I am just bitter, that I missed out on so many great hummus years. I was hooked from the first bite… Read more »
I have been trying to reduce my gluten intake, but I love love looove pizza. I have tried a few similar recipes for this kind of crust, but they always turn out soggy… so I ended up making a few adjustments based off of my trial and error from other recipes and created my own.
