Why hobbit food you ask?

Have you ever wondered what hobbits eat? This question never occurred to us until one Sunday night where we used left over boiled, mashed up tubers to cover a hard boiled egg. We took this concept from a Guyanese dish known as Egg Ball. Which really is a hard boiled egg covered in a single root called cassava. After we fried up these tuber balls and were sitting down to devour them Tony said, "Sara, you cook like a hobbit and it's awesome" which then turned these tuber balls into hobbit balls. This also got us thinking, "what else have we cooked that's been inspired through the use of local ingredients and cuisine?" From this our blog was born. But if you're actually looking for foods that hobbits eat you won't find them here. But we do hope you enjoy our creations!

Sara's Salsa

Who doesn't love salsa? It's definitely one of my favorite things to eat, well, chips and salsa yumm! I'm surprised we don't make more salsa, yes, we don't have everything that makes salsa so good but that's where getting creative comes in!
I made salsa last night since we were having enchiladas and to be honest I just threw things together and man, we were blown away by how delicious it was!

6 Tomatoes
2 sweet peppers
1/2 hot pepper (chopped)
small hand full of green onions
small hand full of celery (celery here is thin and mostly leafy)
2 cloves garlic
1 red onion
Juice from 1 lime
A few pinches of dried cilantro (since we don't have fresh)
2 caps full vinegar

Cut everything up. Place in blender. Press chop. Enjoy!

Sorry I don't have a picture it didn't turn out

Tim and I have plans to get more creative with a salsa....stay tuned!
