  If you are like me, then you want to get your workout out of the way as early as possible, otherwise you will spend the day finding excuses to miss the workout. But, there is a problem. Not many people like having to get up any earlier than they already have to. I know I don't. I want to get as much sleep as I possibly can, as I don't get enough as it it. The alarm goes off and I want just 5 more minutes. But, if I want to reach my goals and stay healthy, then I need to get up and get ...

Even some of the more expensive ones that you would expect to do what they are meant to do have been less than useless. So, you can imagine how happy I ...

  With my ongoing obsession with salsa (seriously, what can you not put it on?), I am making different types of salsa. I have already posted a regular salsa recipe, as well as one for pico de gallo, but salsa picante falls somewhere in the middle of the two in terms of chunkiness.
