Salsa Verde was by far, Greg’s favorite salsa of the week!  I roasted the tomatillos and peppers on the grill before adding them to the salsa.  This was the one salsa that I put in the food processor to create a puree, instead of a mixture of diced veggies.  Even with taking the time to [...]

The plan for tonight was grilled sausage and veggies [...]
