Zax Sauce!

 A Tale of Culinary Discovery...

Once upon a time, in the quaint village called Keller, a fair maiden took her sister, who was visiting from a far away kingdom, to a local establishment.  While dining on chicken tenders, a sauce was discovered that beat any sauce the sister had ever tasted.  Every time the sister went to Keller she requested this scrumptious sauce. Sometimes, though, when back at home, the sister craved this sauce.  Sadly, she could not find it's equal in her kingdom.  "I shall try to make this sauce!  I will not rest until I discover its secret!"  She exclaimed.  Luckily, her kingdom was equipped with high speed internet.  In no time, the secret recipe was duplicated.  Both sisters lived happily ever after.  That is until they tasted these darling "mini cakes" from a baker who has mastered the art of Sprinkles. 

 

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
Mix and refrigerate.  Allow a few hours for the flavors to mingle before serving.

Best-Ever Salsa!

Making homemade salsa is so simple! Just stuff all your ingredients in a blender and turn it on!!  Really, that's it!

Here's what I use to make mine...


  •  fresh home-grown tomatoes (or store bought if you don't have a "tomato forest" like I do--canned works too)
  • 2 or 3 jalapenos (or more)--cut the stems off, but leave the seeds and ribs in for extra kick!
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • handful of cilantro
  • squirt of lime juice
  • couple spoons of garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
Don't you love my precise measurements?  Salsa is a trial and error process...make it as spicy or mild as you like!

Now, stuff everything in your blender...


Now....blend...


 Enjoy!  Beware, it's addicting!
