Welcome

I have been on a journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle. In 2007, I was bed ridden due to an infection and although I was already obese, I gained more weight and topped out at 500 pounds. I began writing about health and fitness after I suffered Congestive Heart Failure and Respiratory Failure in February 2009. I currently have lost over 150 pounds and continue to walk toward my goals. I am a member of Weight Watchers and I am top contributor on the Weight Watchers site. Here is a link to my Weight Watchers blog. I hope my blogs inspire you and help you realize miracles do happen and your goals are achievable. Take care and God bless you.

Oldman's Homemade Salsa


INGREDIENTS

• 1 Vidalia onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 4 oz diced jalapeno peppers, or to taste
• 8 fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp red pepper
• 1/8 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS

Chop onion, bell peppers, tomatoes and cilantro and transfer into a medium to large bowl with a lid. Add diced jalapeno peppers and toss. You can use a food processor to chop the veggies by using a pulse just a few times but personally I enjoy chopping them up by hand. I use diced jalapenos from a jar and occasionally will use canned diced tomatoes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, black pepper, red pepper and salt. Then pour this mixture evenly over the veggies and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
