Shoepeg Salsa

I made 8 batches of this fantastic Shoepeg Salsa for a dear friend’s daughters wedding reception. It was really easy to make and very tasty so I thought I would share the recipe here. It is especially great served with fritos scoops! I made this again on sunday for an after church lunch for my family. Yummy!

    I have made this multiple times and it is always a hit. It makes enough to take to a party and keep a little at home for the family 🙂 Love your blog. Keep up the great work!

    My mom made your recipe over the holidays and it was a huge hit. It’s a great alternative to regular salsa. Love it!

    Hi Bonnie,
    Shoepeg corn is just a tiny corn. It comes in a can on the isle with all the other canned corn and vegtables. I think the brand i bought last time was green giant. Good luck! Another great recipe using is on theis site is Black and White bean dip. IT is a hot dip–0and seriously GREAT!!

    Mel- I have a very similiar recipe that uses fresh avacado and black beans instead of the fresh pepper. It is one of our favorites.

    Heather,
    YOu are absolutely right–this was for Lindsey and Kaleb’s reception!! How funny–what a small world! Wasn’t the wedding beautiful–especially the bride and groom?! And all the food was just great!

    Any chance this was for Lindsey Pfleuger’s reception? She married my brother Kaleb and I enjoyed this salsa at a reception last week. How funny to be blog surfing and find a picture of this salsa that I loved. Thanks for sharing

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
