Soft Unleavened Sandwich Bread

My family has one—and only one—unleavened bread recipe (not counting desserts).  That’s cottage cheese rolls, and they’re awesome. But they’re a little labor-intensive for me most of the time, and we needed a second kind of bread for the Night to Be Much Observed.

I had to throw something together quickly but none of the recipes I found were really exciting me—either too much work, too many ingredients, or too much time. Then I found this one, and decided to give it a try. It was super easy and fast, good flavor, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I’ll definitely be re-visiting this one later this week!

Salsa!

My family LOVES salsa. Well…I should say that my dad and sisters LOVE salsa. My mom and I? Meh. Largely because we’re babies and find it too spicy.

The thing is, I really WANT to love salsa. It looks so good! It has tomatoes! You eat it with chips! All of these things indicate I should love it, but somehow I dip the corner of my chip in it, shake it off, and call it good. However, the crowds go wild for this salsa.

Seriously, it’s crazy. I was back in Kansas visiting my family last month for various graduations, and my mom made a big batch to take to my cousin Janelle’s party. We got there, set it out on the counter next to another big Tupperware container of salsa, started going through the line. And in LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES it had been totally devoured. I’ve never seen anything like it.

So rest assured, this is not just me saying it’s the best salsa, it’s a whole bunch of salsa-crazed outsiders. [Read more…]
