What is Kielbasa? you might say, or at least I did. So I looked it up on the internet and it is those sausage looking things in the hotdog section that look like a huge U. :) :) This is another recipe from Laurel Mills.

Texture turns out like grape nuts. Eat with milk, yogurt or even on your ice cream. If you want it more clumpy for the last baking, with the nuts and coconut, add 2-3 T. honey mixed with the same amount of water. Gives it a nice shiny look. You could also add other t...

If you haven't noticed I usually only put recipes on here that I LOVE! Sometimes they are just great tasting and others are just easy to make and are pretty good. This is one that I LOVE.

8 Roma Tomatoes (or use regular, but the salsa won't be as hot) I actually put about 20 reg. tomatoes from the garden. 1 jalapeno Pepper 2 Serrano Chili Peppers 1 med. onion (or 1/2 if you don't like that much onion) Chop all the above ingredients.
