Chunky Chili Salsa - Dianne's Style

 

Syndicated national talk show host Dianne Linderman talks about Everything That Matters, while sharing her wonderful, healthy, quick recipes that can be easily made in your own kitchen, for the whole family to enjoy around the dinner table.

 

Dianne loves bringing families together back to the dinner table and believes that kids are not learning how to cook anymore because everybody eats out so much! When Dianne was growing up, going out to dinner, or breakfast, or lunch once a month was a big ordeal, and nowadays many families eat out pretty much every single meal. Fast food tastes good and is inexpensive, and is easily accessible, so we all eat out... but fast food is not necessarily healthy for you!

 

One of the things that matters most to Dianne is healthy cooking. Dianne has battled weight her whole life, and has just recently lost 35 lbs by slowly changing the way she eats. Her recipes are healthy, yet delicious, and you can find them all in Dianne's cookbook, Everything That Matters in the Kitchen, which came out only a little over a month ago:

 

Here is one of Dianne Linderman's delicious salsa recipes – Chunky Chili Salsa - that is healthy, simple, fast & easy to make in a matter of minutes! Use all organic ingredients for an organic salsa:

 

- Roma tomatoes (use 4 or 5)

- Green chiles (boil, chop and take seeds out)

- Green onion

- Red onion

- Organic cilantro

- Lime 1 to 1.5

- 1-2 tsp garlic salt

- Add sweetener if desired

 

Chop in a blender for some seconds, but do not puree, and -viola!- you have just made some delicious salsa that can be used with chips, or to go along with home-made quesadillas (Dianne makes scrumptious quesadillas, too!).

 

Dianne owned a restaurant for 25 years, and for 10 of those years she had a restaurant on an organic farm, where she learned all about fresh vegetables and herbs. People came from everywhere to get married on that farm and have their wedding reception right there with the most incredible food that you could ever have.

 

This restaurant became so popular that it was written about in the Sunset Magazine, and sometimes people told Dianne that they were moving to the area for the restaurant, which was pretty incredible! The restaurant was called Country Cottage Cafe & Bakery, located in the beautiful Southern Oregon.

 

Today, Dianne loves to showcase her cooking at various Fairs throughout the country, and she does 3 shows per day, and presents a different recipe every single time! Dianne's cooking is very versatile – one day she is cooking up oriental foods, the next day – Mexican foods, and believes that if they are done right, they can both be very healthy. Dianne uses all fresh ingredients, such as vegetables, and preserves their natural quality throughout her cooking process. All of Dianne's recipes take 10 minutes of less to make!
