Ingredients
  • 16 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped*
  • ½ bulb garlic, minced
  • 2 serrano peppers, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
  1. In a medium to large size bowl, mix all ingredients.
  2. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. This salsa is fresh, so eat within 3 days.
  4. *Note: Light a candle near your chopping station. It will keep your eyes from burning while you chop the onion.
  5. **WASH YOUR HANDS WELL after chopping peppers. You may also choose to rub a little oil on your hands after chopping and washing your hands.
  6. If you happen to rub your eye or any delicate part of your body and experience burning after chopping hot peppers, apply any oil you have on hand to dilute the burning sensation. This tip applies to any burning from essential oils as well.

Spaghetti Squash & Walnut Pesto Sauce

by

This dish is one of my all time favorite meals. I feel so energized after eating my Spaghetti Squash with Walnut Pesto Sauce!  Basil is naturally full of vitamins A, C and K, manganese, copper, calcium, iron, folate, and flavonoids which protect the body at a cellular level! It’s anti-inflammatory and naturally Paleo and gluten-free!
