Wholesome, Easy Recipes                       

by Christine "Lazy Cook" Caridi

Anyone can be a good cook if they start with the right ingredients.  I often think of myself as a lazy cook and a fussy eater.  To be perfectly blunt, I don't like to cook. I dislike chopping and I especially don't like to clean the mess that results from cooking - especially cooking from scratch.  Growing up, my mom cooked using mostly all fresh ingredients.  I was spoiled.  As a result, I've worked hard to find the easiest way to perepare high quality, good tasting, healthy food made from scratch.  

So, in the coming days, I will be posting some of my favorite dishes!  You will notice that these are all made with ingredients from Food Thing Network.  Also, being the lazy cook that I am, if there is an easy and fast way to cook it, and it tastes great, then that is what makes the cut.  Nothing complicated.  Nothing a lazy cook like me couldn't handle!   Eventually, we will have a comment section and rating section. (My son promises me he is going to build me a website that can do that!)

Super Fast Salsa!


                           Ingredients

  •     Ripe Tomatoes  (2 or 3 cut in quarters)
  •     Onion  (quarter or less of medium size onion, cut in chunks)  
  •     1/2 Bell Pepper (red, yellow or orange, cut in chunks) 
  •      Handful of fresh Basil leaves (5 or 6 large ones)                                         

    • **NOTE:  I usually make two batches, one with the above ingredients and one about half of a jalapeno pepper for those who like it spicy!

    Put the ingredients in a chopper/blender and pulverize it. Pour it in a dish  and serve!!  It will taste amazing!!
