I would try fire roasted veggies in the salsa. They char will make them easier to hide.</p> <p>Following because I have a salsa addict also. If we aren't watching she'll just start drinking it. </p> [attach=5855/18/pcjydd.337x600.20180406_165702.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/salsa-recipes-great-veggies-to-hide#post-2836554 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 18:49:50 +0000 Miss Ariel 2836554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about avocado? It would be almost a mix between salsa and guacamole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/salsa-recipes-great-veggies-to-hide#post-2836525 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:14:15 +0000 codeitall 2836525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys are genius!

No spice but not out of place in a salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/salsa-recipes-great-veggies-to-hide#post-2836295 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 18:39:09 +0000 SweetiePie 2836295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet you could hide some chopped up fine zucchini. Raw zucchini is basically tasteless. I hide zucchini in other things like chili and spaghetti sauce and no one has ever noticed, adult or child.<br /> Maybe also minced baby spinach since there are other green “herbs” in salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/salsa-recipes-great-veggies-to-hide#post-2836287 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 16:57:37 +0000 Mrsbells 2836287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: we make basic salsa but I have tasted salsa that has fruit in it like peaches or mango </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/salsa-recipes-great-veggies-to-hide#post-2836237 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 13:40:40 +0000 codeitall 2836237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He won't eat other condiments or sauces, but man, he would eat chips and salsa all day if I let him.</p> <p>We have our standard smooth tomato/cilantro/green onion salsa that we love.

We need to work on that! LO has been keeping us busy, plus we got discouraged last year when our dogs decided they loved tomatoes and ate them all as soon as they were ripe. Then we put in a fence so the dogs couldn't get to the garden beds, and squirrels started eating all of our greens :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641388 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:00:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 641388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do!</p> <p>I have two flower beds in the front, several flower beds in the back, and a couple apple trees in the back as well.

I'd like to try again this year, but now that we're expecting in Nov. I'm not sure I'd be up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641135 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:56:02 +0000 Cherrybee 641135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a huge garden, 110ft long. We moved in a year ago and it was a jungle - it took me all spring to salvage the established plants that I wanted to keep and then plant up the areas I'd cleared - flowers, shrubs and herbs near the house (plus a little tomato patch) and a veg patch further down the garden. Unfortunately, we had the wettest summer in living memory last year and, veg wise, what didn't get washed away was eaten by a plague of slugs! I was heartbroken!</p> <p>Here are some photos taken before the rain started! I love my garden! I hope I have the energy to tend to it when the weather perks up here - if it ever perks up!! </p> [attach=2581/13/mjo7lf.600x395.c191032b-5bd0-4b03-b424-31ef3874cdfe.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7lg.600x433.dc87f058-64af-450f-bc7c-5c2a87f0cef4.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7li.600x450.WP_000289.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7lk.600x450.WP_000169.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641078 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:37:30 +0000 Bao 641078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but we are starting one this year too! </p>
