Pico de Gallo

You will need:

Fresh or dried Cilantro
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
1 teaspoon salt

Mix the chopped ingredients in a bowl and salt to taste.

Add half the jalapeno then taste. If you are looking for more of a kick, add the rest of the jalapeno.

The difference between Pico de Gallo and Salsa is very small.

They are made with the same ingredients but Pico de Gallo is raw coarsely chopped vegetables while Salsa's a ground or blended sauces and spices.

Monkey Chunks

You will need:

two bananas

12 ounces chocolate chips

2 cups crushed cookies, grahm crackers, toffee, nuts. Whatever you wish or happen to have onhand.



I had a few Oreo's, when I ran out of those I used crushed grahm crackers.

Cut the bananas into bite size pieces. Freeze chunked bananas for one hour.

Melted the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stopping and stiring at 15 seconds.

Drop into melted chocolate. You don't have to cover them completely. When you drop them into the cookie/candy crumbs it will take care if coating it.  Kids will love this one, you will get your fingers all messy.

set on a lined cookie sheet. chill for atleast 1 hour. Really, at least, try to stay away and stop opening the refrigerator door, you'll only make it take longer.
