I am super excited for football season to start again. Except I really don't know if I'll even have a TV when I move, so I don't know how that's gonna work out. Watching on a laptop or a small screen just isn't the same thing. At all.
And I'm playing fantasy football for the first time this year!! YAYYY. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing. Thankfully, I did manage to get the two players that I absolutely knew I wanted to have--Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham. HOORAY! They were literally the only 2 players I really really wanted on my team because I LOVE THE SAINTS. Everyone else on my team I pretty much picked based on who had a nice-sounding name or who had the coolest name. Also, my laptop totally froze during the middle of the draft, so two of my players were autodrafted for me. At least they have cool names. Fingers crossed xx
But even though I'm a fantasy football noob, one thing I do know how to do is make delicious fresh salsa. Trisha and I whipped together this salsa for the draft yesterday. It's the same recipe my family has used ever since I was little, but now Trisha and I have taken over the salsa-making duties at parties. It's so easy to make.
Fresh Homemade Salsa
Tomatoes
Onion
Jalapeño
Cilantro
Limes
Salt
Pepper
Depending on how much salsa you want to make or how onion-y or tomato-y you want it, buy more tomatoes than onions or vice versa. Obviously the more spicy you want the salsa, the more jalapeños you add, or you can pick a spicier pepper like a habañero.
Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds first. Then dice the tomatoes and onion into small pieces. Finely chop up the jalapeño. Add the jalapeño (with the seeds if you want it spicy like we do) to the tomatoes and onion. Mix in a pinch of salt and pepper. Then add the limes. Start by adding one whole lime, and keep adding more until it tastes the way you like. Finally, chop up the cilantro (not the stems!) and mix it in.
There's no shame in taste-testing every step while making this salsa. We do it every single time haha. Just don't forget to have some chips ready :) It's the perfect salsa for football season, and also every season of the year!
