What is one sign of a good taqueria? The salsa, of course! Or I should use the plural and say “salsas?” Any decent Mexican dining establishment north of the border, whether a taco truck or full-on restaurant, will offer a variety of salsas to its patrons—tomatillo salsa verde, red chili salsa, and my favorite, a fresh tomato salsa otherwise knows as Pico de Gallo or Salsa Fresca. HOW TO MAKE AND STORE SALSA FRESCA This homemade salsa recipe is easy to make. You just need chopped up fresh tomatoes, chiles, onions, cilantro, some lime juice, and seasonings. Note that because this particular salsa recipe is made with fresh ingredients, it will last as long as you would expect cut fresh tomatoes to last. It’s best eaten right after you make it. Chilled, the salsa should last about 5 days or so. BEST TOMATOES FOR PICO DE GALLO Fresh tomato salsa is ideally made with firm, fleshy tomatoes. You can of course make the salsa with any kind of tomato, but the firm ones like Romas or hothouse toma...

A hearty, satisfyingly delicious Salisbury Steak meal the family will love! My first time making Salisbury steak ended up being a huge hit with my husband and I have since made it over and over. It's a glorified burger let's face it, but it is economical and really tasty.  1 lb. ground beef (80/20)  1/2 large onion - finely ground  3 stalks celery - finely ground  1/8 cup or so of fine bread crumbs  1 extra large egg  salt and black pepper to taste  1/4 heaping tsp. granulated garlic  1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes  1 package cremini mushrooms - sliced  3 tbsp. butter  2 jars Heinz Savory Beef Gravy Use a food processor to grind the onion and celery. In a large bowl combine the beef, the onion, celery and all the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and add some extra bread crumb as necessary. You want the mixture slightly to the less firm side. Form into four steak patties approximately 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate wrapped in plastic whi...

The thing about sugar (and believe me, I love sugar) is that it doesn’t taste like anything. The box of Domino in your pantry isn’t bringing much to the table flavor-wise, which is kind of the point: standard sugar’s sweetness enhances and balances other ingredients without masking or overpowering them. But looking beyond the white granulated stuff means opening up your home cooking to all kinds of sweetness—alternatives that boast their own distinct flavors and therefore add a little something extra. I love liquid sweeteners for this reason; deep and warm maple syrup, floral and earthy honey, and clean and slightly savory agave provide a bit of interest to a baked good or salad dressing, beyond what straight-up sugar could muster. Finding the right applications for each means playing to their strengths and making the most of their unique flavors. When the moment calls for something toasty, complex, and versatile, the sweetener I reach for is brown rice syrup. Brown rice syrup is thick...
