Am I the only one that sees the humor in this post?

Well, I surmised that there are some things that are best left un-said; I mean who wants to talk about Monica and food in the same thread.

Ok, Salsa lovers, here is a very simple recipe, most tasty when made from garden fresh ingredients. It is so good, you won't believe it until you try it. I've found that when you have guests, particularly in an informal setting like a BBQ, you can't make it fast enough. Take my word for it; to quote Tony the Tiger, it's GRRRRRRRRREEEEAAAAATTTT!

SALSA

1 pint of chopped tomatoes
1/2 pint of chopped yellow onion
1/2 pint of chopped mixed hot/mild red/green/yellow peppers to taste.
Bottle of Original Wishbone salad dressing.
Garlic to taste

Mix peppers, tomatoes and onions; add enough Wishbone salad dressing to cover generously.
Stir slightly; dip with tortilla chips, and stand back. You probably can't make enough. Good luck.
Portions are approximate; mix to your own taste;

Not in Texas, Come On, even before my heart attack there's no way all that oil and calories in a whole bottle of dressing is good, unless you just use the salsa as a condiment. In Texas Salsa IS NOT A CONDIMENT - it's the main dish we work around. (We add cilantro instead of a ton of oil).

Would have never worked for me! I was toothpick thin as a kid, and would have never eaten one of the vegetarian school lunches. Wouldn't eat much they prepared anyway. As much as I LOVE my fresh produce, I will not touch a store bought tomato, even to this day. Makes me want to gag. I am also not a fan of certain other veggies, such as cukes, unless I have pickled them. I am still not much of a sandwich lover, although will eat one, on rare occasions. So, wouldn't have helped to pack a lunch. If the kids won't eat it, it won't do much good health-wise.

I'm all for getting away from the excess processing of the foods fed to the kids, but again, healthy, natural food, in moderation, is what I think is the key. I'm old enough to have grown up with the 4 basic food groups, and still try to follow that pattern, as best I can, as the seasons permit. Unfortunately, the problem today is too much all you can eat and drink, and "super sized" meals.

Not to mention, I'm not much for following Bloomberg's lead.

You're joshin' me, right? Note the part where I say "add enough Wishbone Salad Dressing to cover generously". I'm guessing that amounts to about a half a cup, depending on your definition of "generously"... and Cilantro is good; but we're talking about a caucaphony of flavors, so suit yourself.

My bad, thats what I meant but fat fingers and small screen don't make a good combo. But fried morrels sure do!

Institutional Child Abuse !

Hey, they still have a choice. Instead of a choice between chick'n nuggets and hot dogs it's between broccoli and brussels sprouts.
Like they say you still get all the nutrition but without all that fat and cholesterol. Look at the statistics of overweight and obese children.
Maybe the child abuse is finally stopping.

Farmgirl19, The old 4 basic food groups has changed several times because of research and the state of health in America. Each time it changes meat gets a smaller chunk and 1. Greens, 2. Grains 3. Vegetables and 4. Fruits chunk gets larger.

Moderation=until you are full, not 4 ounces for 99.9% of Americans.

Just saying......

I'm the prime example of the failure of the old 4 basic food groups (Along with over half of America).
