Homemade Salsa with Fresh Garden Tomatoes | Canned Alternative Included
Salsa. When I find good salsa, I am liable to put it on all of my savory breakfast food and any mexican food I can get my hands on. Salsa is a great, healthy alternative when made fresh. At least compared to sauces that are processed, loaded with sugar, and full of preserving chemicals.

I’ll admit it, I am a messy cook. The type where you can’t see the stove/have a million dishes after dinner cook. I hate it but I come by it honestly. (Sorry, Mom!)
One of the items I’m about to talk about I had no idea even existed as I received it as a wedding gift, but it literally makes cooking so. much. easier.
The other I learned about through my momma and it involves bacon…lots and lots of bacon.
Spill Stoppers
I cannot tell y’all how many times I have been boiled potatoes or pasta, walked away for TWO SECONDS, only to come back to an overflowing pot of boiled water. These seriously changed the game for me! No matter how much of a rolling boil is going on in cook-town, there will be no spillage.
A Bacon Pan for the Oven
That’s right, cooking bacon in the oven. First of all, WHY HAVEN’T WE ALWAYS DONE THIS? Why doesn’t everyone cook bacon this way? I have so many questions because it is literally so simple and way way less messy than pan frying. I also find I can get a more even crisp when I bake it in the oven.
So, take it from someone who learned the hard way:
You DO NOT want to use anything other than a deep-dish pan to cook your bacon in the oven. Why, may you ask? Because when bacon cooks it produces an insane amount of grease that WILL spill over when you try to remove the pan from the oven.
Or so I thought. This pan has the space of a cookie sheet and prevents grease spillage. It is also SUPER easy to clean. Go mom for this find!
