Aunt Laurie’s mom, Janet, and her step-dad, Monty, have always been two of our favorite people!  Family holidays and get togethers are even more fun because of the time we spend talking with Laurie’s parents.  I’ve always had a special spot in my heart for Laurie’s mom! 

This recipe came to us from Monty’s good friend, George.  Laurie begged for the recipe after enjoying it for years . George came up with the recipe and entered it in many Salsa contests . The salsa won just about every time it was entered. In 1981, Laurie and family were at a chili cook off in Arizona where George entered the salsa plus his chili. He won in both categories yet again. George gave Aunt Laurie his secret recipe at that chili cook off.  She grabbed a piece of paper and jotted it down, and still has the original paper to this day!
