Cucumber Salsa is both delicious and nutritious (this is for people with spicier appetites)

Guys it really is delicious, do not be scared off by that word nutritious.

You will need the following:

5 cucumbers (remove peel before dicing)

5 stalks of green onions

2 tomatoes

3 jalapeno peppers

Finely dice all of the above

Add ½ cup rice vinegar

2 packets dry ranch dressing

Taverns or loosemeat sandwich

Big game chilli cheese dip

Here in my hometown there was a big rivalry game last night between MU and KU. I had a few fans over for the occasion, but I had little to no time to cook for my guests. I decided to make my incredibly easy chili cheese dip. For this recipe, you will need a Crockpot, they are inexpensive and well worth the money just on game days alone.

First you will need to cook the ground beef on stove until brown. Don't forget to drain grease.

2 (15oz) cans Hormel chili (no beans)

1 can Fiesta nacho soup

1 can cheddar cheese soup

1 lb. ground beef


Then just mix all of this together and heat in Crockpot.

Lastly, guys do not forget to buy tortilla chips, preferably scoops!

Why this blog

I am not claiming to be an expert on cooking but what I am is the eldest child of three from a single parent home in which I had to cook a lot. So as a teenager I would look for easy recipes to make for my younger brother and sister. As I got older, I started telling them to my friends who would try to impress their girlfriends with my easy recipe tips.
