Left over corn … I always have left over corn. Why do I always have left over corn? I hate throwing food away…it’s one of my three biggest pet peeves.. next to repeating myself and having to turn around in town and go back the way I just came. I’m always forgetting something…. Oh,  back to the left over corn.. I had to think of something, it needed to be eaten or just bite the bullet and toss it…. think Katt, think! ( insert Final Jeopardy Theme Song here…)  Corn salsa! Duh, It’s Taco night! Check out this easy recipe….

Now here is the thing I said I would tell you about… Mrs. Wages™

This stuff is amazing! You can use the whole bag and makes quarts of salsa, which I do that too… but I keep it on hand and use a few tablespoons at a time for other recipes. you just can not beat the taste of those blended spices.

Mix well and chill for at least an hour… remove 15-20 minutes before it is time to eat.. stir well and enjoy it on tacos, burritos, chips or by the spoonful ( not that I would do such a thing)
