And it is!
Yummy Yammy has kindly provided to send out three containers of its sweet-potato salsa (one Mexican, one Moroccan, and one Tuscan) to a reader of In Our Grannies’ Kitchens.
This company, based in Norwich, Vermont, is run by a female named Lisa Johnson. Lisa’s salsas have no tomatoes in them, however salsa does not need tomatoes.
As readers might remember I have actually made peach salsa, tropical fruit salsa, rhubarb salsa, and apple-cranberry salsa. I had never thought about making salsa out of sweet potatoes, however, and I was fascinated when Yummy Yammy used to send me some to try.
Lisa’s salsa lives up to its name. It’s made of real food– sweet potatoes, beans, lime juice, vegetables, spices– and it tastes fresh and yummy. I served some at a mixer this week, and next-door neighbors loved it, too.
The salsa isn’t inexpensive. When I think of what I spend making salsa, however, I recognize why. Yummy Yammy is smoother than tomato salsa, that makes it flexible. And it’s low in calories and high in nutrition.
Yummy Yammy is available in the North Atlantic region at Whole Foods Market as well as online at Amazon and Open Sky. If you don’t win the salsa giveaway (I want you ALL could!), you can go to the Yummy Yammy site and sign up for its subscriber list. You will get complimentary shipping on your first online order as well as special offers in the future.
To enter the drawing for the giveaway, simply leave a remark listed below informing me about your favorite salsa or your favorite thing to do with salsa (or whatever you seem like talking about!) between now and midnight on the morning of Tuesday, September 16. I’ll select a winner randomly and announce his/her name on the morning of the 17th.
Best of luck– and just in case you were dying to see me in a new straw hat (I KNOW you were!), here is my latest television look. The recipe I make comes from my upcoming book on Funeral Foods and is based upon a meal in a secret novel by Margaret Maron. Just click on the picture listed below to see. And if you make the actual dish depicted (I encourage you to do so!), bake the casserole up until the biscuits brown (about 20 minutes) and then cover the entire thing and bake for 10 to 20 minutes longer to ensure whatever is warm and bubbly.
Take pleasure in the wonderful almost fall weather …
