Creamy Salsa Verde

Creamy Salsa Verde / Busy Mom's Helper

You know those days when you’re just so exhausted, it’s a struggle to think straight, much less be very productive? Ya, that’s me today. Well, more like me this week, but we can sugar coat it a little, can’t we? So in my tired-non-functioning-hazy mood tonight, I did more than one absolutely ridiculous things that I feel I must share with you so that you can smile and laugh with me (or at me, whichever you’d like).

1. I took out one contact, but didn’t remember about the hour for about half an hour.
2. I took off my clothes, put them back on, and put my pjs in the laundry before realizing what I was doing.
3. I washed my face for the night, then started to apply my make-up for the day. Thus, having to wash my face again.

You are more than welcome to laugh – I am!!! Ah, the joys of being an exhausted mom! Moving on…we love chips and salsa at our house. Even the kids, it’s crazy! I decided to make a Salsa Verde for us, not having made any type of salsa before. It turned out phenomenal! I kid you not, it was so darn delicious, we went through it in a flash. Just writing this post, I’m almost drooling wishing I had the stuff to make another batch right now.
