Shelly's Salsa

This makes a ton, so I usually half the recipe for just my family.  

Ingredients:

2 cans (15 ounce) Whole Tomatoes with Juice

2 cans (10 ounce) Rotel Tomatoes with Juice (mild or any other variety)

1/2 white onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1-2 Jalapenos, finely chopped (seeds and ribs removed for less heat!)

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt (less if you use table salt)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Black Pepper to taste

2 tablespoons Ketchup

1 cup Cilantro, rough chopped

1-2 Limes, juiced (depending on size of lime)

Splash of white vinegar 

Directions:

Combine all of the above ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until you get the desired consistency you like. Test for seasonings and add some more if needed. Let the salsa sit for at least an hour or so in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend. This will keep for at least a week in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Protein Donuts...

3 scoops protein powder (I like to use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Birthday Cake Flavor)
3/4 Cup Pumpkin Puree
2 Whole Eggs
1 tsp. baking powder

Mix all ingredients in a kitchen aid mixer until really smooth.  Pour batter into a zip lock bag and cut the end off and pour into a 6 count non stick donut pan sprayed with a little bit of pam.
Bake at 350 for 11 minutes or until cooked through.  I store these in the fridge after they have cooled. I also like to top them with the spray whip cream when I eat them.
