Summer Travels and Pico

With the passing of Memorial Day my summer has officially begun. Every year we begin our summer with memorial day travels (never invite us to a cook out, we won't be in town!). We are either in Florida with my family or in Harper's Ferry with Matt's family. And since I like to travel during the summer I find it to be an excellent way to start things off :)

This year we were in Harper's Ferry. Our first mini vacation with 3 kids! Evie & Laurence enjoyed boating, swimming in the pool & getting more candy than any child should have at the memorial day parade (why is it that every parade in Iowa has to have at least 50 tractors in it???). Aria enjoyed dozing by the pool :) Mommy enjoyed boating, reading, tanning (okay, burning), and a slightly crazy girls night with her sister in law. What a wonderful way to begin the summer!

My lovely sister in law, Jenni, made us some wonderful Pico De Gallo to snack on over the weekend and I decided I needed to figure out a recipe for it! I like it better than normal salsa because I feel so healthy eating it :) So, here is the recipe I threw together today, one of the things I love about this is that you can change it up as much as you want!

Pico De Gallo
                                   

1/2 Red Onion, chopped

1/2 Green Pepper, chopped

1/2 Can Corn

1/2 jalapeno, deseeded & minced                                   

2 Cloves Garlic, minced

Cilantro, minced

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 lime, juiced 

4 Roma Tomatoes, cored, deseeded & chopped                                  

Combine everything and enjoy!
