Hello...Welcome to my first blog. I can't wait to share my life's successes and failures, a no holds barred truth of the matter, life experiences with you. The "name" was a hard one to come up with till a friend of mine said you can post things from your everyday life. Like my gardening, cooking and crazy life as a band mom ...not to forget the biggest part of my life, my kids and our homeschooling adventures, in-which, Core Curriculum came to mind. Hence Core Cooking and Much More. Hope my blog inspires you in some way. I know others have inspired me and I thank them for it. Who knows, maybe a book might come of this one day.

Homemade Salsa



 Fresh homemade salsa...so refreshing and great on just about anything....this was two batches worth in my new food processor...Love the new kitchen tool...made making this salsa a snap...0 WW points...mmmmm

14 Tomatoes
1 bunch of Cilantro
3 Red Onions
4 Jalapenos
10 cloves of garlic
4 Limes
salt

wash and core your tomatoes...rip your cilantro off the stems...I do it in one quick twist of the whole bunch...you do get some stem but that's okay it gets chopped... 1/4 your onions...halve your peppers and remove some of the seeds...I remove half of each peppers seeds...peel your garlic...half your limes for juicing...
In the food processor I combined the onions, garlic and peppers first and give them a few pulses...then I add the tomatoes and cilantro and squeeze the lime juice on top and a few little pinches of salt...then pulse again till desired consistency...when done taste to see if you need more juice or salt...
remember I did this in two batches so separate your ingredients first...or just cut the recipe in half and enjoy...
