quick and easy. guacamole


Each month I make sure to buy avocados just so I can make this guacamole. Not only is it super delicious but it's good for you too. I end up so full after eating the whole bowl to myself!

Ingredients:
  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 1/4 large red onion
  • 1/2 large tomato
  • 1 or 2 squirts of lime juice (can be substituted with fresh limes)
  • Salt & pepper to taste (I use a garlic salt & pepper grinder)

First I halved the avocados, pit them, and scooped the insides into a bowl.



Once in the bowl I mushed them up with my hands (don't worry, if I'm making it for other people I use a fork). I just like how the avocado makes my skin nice and smooth afterward.

Next I cut up the onion into small pieces and added them to the bowl.


Then it's was time to cut up the tomato and add it to the bowl.



I mixed it all together and added the lime juice and fresh ground garlic salt & pepper.


I carefully mixed it all together and voila! Easy guacamole! Mmm. Now it's time to eat it up with the help of some nacho chips. My personal favorite is Tostitos Rounds because their bite size and delicious.

weekend breakfasts. egg wrap


One thing I love about the weekend is having time in the morning to make myself a nice hot breakfast. Today I felt like making something relatively easy but that I wouldn't bother making on a weekday. An egg wrap! Mmm!

Ingredients:
  • 1 large sundried tomato wrap
  • 1/4 of a green pepper
  • 2 thin slices of original style ham
  • Small handful of Tex Mex shredded cheese
  • Bull' s Eye Barbecue Sauce - Guinness flavored
  • 1 large egg

I started by cutting up some green peppers while the fry pan warmed up a bit.


I laid my wrap on a plate. Ready and waiting.


Then I fried some thin slices of ham.


I placed the ham on the wrap and I sprinkled on some shredded cheese. Next I added a little BBQ sauce.


I put the green peppers in the frying pan and stirred them around for a couple minutes to heat up.Then I added my egg and scrambled it until it was cooked. I quickly placed it on top of the cheese so it could melt nicely while it was still hot. And voila! My wrap was complete. It was almost as fun making it as it was eating it!
