IN THE KITCHEN
 As part of the Synod Wellness Program, we'd love your participation IN THE KITCHEN. Do you have some healthy recipes that you'd like to share? If so, please email melinda@synodpacific.org with your name and church - I will post your recipe on one of my future emails. Do you like salsa? Here's a recipe for homemade salsa from Kaiser's website: Fresh Tomato Salsa / Serves 8
About 1 1/2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, minced (save the seeds to add later if you want more heat)
1 Serrano chili pepper, seeded and minced
Small handful cilantro, chopped
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Juice of one lime
Optional dried oregano and ground cumin to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Mix everything together. To keep it extra healthy, you can serve your salsa with unsalted baked chips, on top of beans and/or brown rice, with chicken, or with your favorite fish. Want a great appetizer for parties? Add shrimp and some fresh garlic to your salsa - the guests will love it! Bon appetit!
