Fresh Cabbage Pico De Gallo


Bring on the CABBAGE PICO!!  The first time we
had cabbage pico at a Mexican restaurant, we ate so much with chips that when
our meals came we couldn’t eat a bite! 
We learned our lesson, and now we plan accordingly!  When we are seated we always ask for extra
bowls of this crunchy appetizer!  This is awesome with our GREEN CHILI TACOS.
Our kids DIE FOR
this cabbage pico.  Sometimes we have it
for dinner with corn chips and a side of beans and rice.  It’s awesome to watch my kids fill their
plates with mounds of cabbage!  A great
way to have power food for dinner!

Simple
ingredients….incredible result.

   

Shred your head of
cabbage into small little bits of crunchiness.


Chop cilantro into
little minced bits of savory-ness….is this even a word?! Don’t worry if you have a few stems in your
chopped cilantro….it’s all good!  Mince your green
onions…..no one at my house likes a big-ol’ chunk of onion.  Mince up your slices of pickled jalapenos.  Dice up those tomatoes too.

Toss cabbage,
cilantro, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, jalapeno juice, salt to taste, LOTS of FRESH
ground pepper.  Grab some chips and DIG IN!  The
flavor explosion and the crunchy deliciousness will keep you coming back for
more!  And YES….we love this so much, we
have even eaten it for breakfast!  SO
GOOD!

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
