Hello! You do not need to peel the skin off of the tomatoes, but if you prefer them this way, you absolutely can. :) Enjoy!

Wasn't bad for a quick salsa; I added drained black beans (1 can) and drained white corn ( 1 small can). Made a popular dish at my home.

Raspberry Cream Danish
Thanks to shortcuts like frozen puff pastry, we're able to make jaw-dropping pastries like our Raspberry Cream Danish. These are filled with a homemade cream cheese filling, which makes them extra-special. A raspberry in the center and a sprinkle of powdered sugar are the finishing touches to this bakery-style treat.
