We are Zach & Toni! Welcome to our podcast! We're two married BIPOCs talking about life. Join us as we talk about: - Living in Las Cruces (Formerly Chicago) - Our love of the outdoors - Married life - How Zach REALLY wants a dog And a whole lot more! We named the show Chips & Salsa because that's how we bonded. Talking over one of our favorite snacks. So pull up a chair...and no double-dipping.
