Today was a perfect Salsa and Chips Day in Washington, D.C. What do I mean by that? The kind of day when I want to snack a lot, and don't mind the oven on for a while.

There is a (very) small farmer's market just ... view more
I made this recipe, took a bite, and lost my mind. I mean, in a good way of course. It was SO good. And SO easy.
