Recipes:

Cristy's Salsa
1 can stewed tomatoes - mexican flavor
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
8-10 dried small red chiles (I use 4-6)
1/2 onion (opt)
Take stems off chiles. Put in blender and blend with other ingredients. Add finely diced onion after (I make it without the onion).

Cristy's Salsa II
1 can stewed tomatoes - mexican flavor
1/2 tsp salt
jalapenos

Put jalapenos on the grill or in toaster oven on broil. Cook until the skins are bubbly, popping, and pretty much blackened. Put hot peppers on plate and cover with warm paper towels for several minutes. Carefully peel and seed peppers (I wear gloves). Put in blender with remaining ingredients.

Crockpot peanut chicken (taken off the LotsofKids.com site)

4 boneless chicken breasts (can use more, there will plenty of sauce)
1 cup salsa
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp finely grated ginger (I usually use ground ginger if I don't have fresh)
1/4 c chopped peanuts
Mix salsa, pb, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger in crockpot. Add chicken breasts and spoon mixture over chicken breasts. Cook low 8-9 hours. Put onto plates (or bowls) and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Serve with brown rice and/or stir fry veggies. (SBD followers.this is a Ph. 2 recipe)This is an extremely flavorful crockpot recipe. Fyi, if you use a medium salsa, it will have a bit more zing. Also, I usually throw in a can of mushrooms during the last hour. Enjoy
