Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

Even though I live in Oklahoma, I have a love for all things Kansas.

So tonight with the opportunity to see The Hunger Games movie or watch The University of Kansas face North Carolina State, I had to choose my Jayhawks.

To celebrate my Kansas love, I decided to make a copycat version of my favorite salsa from back home…

Copycat La Casita Salsa

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoons crushed red pepper (use just one teaspoon if you like it mild)

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Toast crushed red pepper in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Use a food processor or blender to liquefy all ingredients. I used my Magic Bullet!

3. Enjoy!

I am obsessed with this salsa. I have to eat at La Casita whenever I am back home.

My plate is covered in this red goodness anytime I eat there.

I would drink it if it were socially acceptable, so there might be a problem with being able to create it in my own kitchen.

I hate saying that I just go there for the salsa, but it is kind of true. I cannot help it. It is just that good.

What is your favorite kind of salsa?
