Superbowl Guacamole


I'm not sure why but football season totally passed me by this year.  I used to be a die hard football fan.  I still am but I have to say when your team rarely wins, it's hard to keep up.  Still, it used to be that I could sit down and watch any game and be perfectly entertained.  I'm sure that's still true but I wouldn't know.  I hardly have watched an entire game this year.  We had a lot of weddings in the beginning of football season, then came the busy holiday season and before I know it, here we are at superbowl already.  It came upon me so fast that I barely had time to figure out what I was going to make for a superbowl party we went to.  Luckily, this guacamole is a quick, no cook recipe that whips up in snap and with the right shapped platter and some sour cream piping, its perfect for a Superbowl party...and quite the show stopper.

Guacamole

2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup red onion (mince)
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chop
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tomato, seeded and copped
8 to 9 dashes Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic

Scoop out avocado and mash with fork.  Add lime juice, onion, cilantro, Sriracha and salt and pepper and mix.  Add tomato before serving.  Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Letters to Bunny

Wow.  I didn't think I would ever be writing these letters, but I am so happy I am!  When I was pregnant with your big brother, we called him Pumpkin when he was in my belly and now I have started calling you Bunny, so that is why I call these, Letters to Bunny.  I didn't think I'd be writing these letters because it took almost 5 very long years to have you!  Now that you are here, I'm still in disbelief, but so happy I get to be a mom all over again!  Thank God! Being a mom is something I wanted to be my whole life.  When we had your big brother, Nate, it was the happiest time!  I knew right away that I wanted to have another baby.  Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy for me to get pregnant.  I didn't understand why.  We did lots of things to try to have a baby.  I went to many doctors, took many tests and x-rays, and after awhile of doing all these things, I kind of lost hope that I would ever be able to have another baby...

Horseradish Encrusted Salmon

I know I've been touting easy, fast meals lately, but this one really takes the cake in simplicity and taste.  Joe took one bite and said, "this tastes like something I would get at a restaurant."  As I've mentioned, the only other adjective I've ever gotten from him on a meal before was "good."  This was a revelation.  Besides being all of the above, this is a healthy, low fat meal.  Definitely something you should be making soon! Horseradish Encrusted Salmon (based on Real Simple recipe) 4  6-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet kosher salt and black pepper 1/4  cup  bread crumbs (I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs) 1  tablespoon prepared horseradish 1  tablespoon olive oil Heat oven to 400º F. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with tin foil for easy clean up. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, horseradish and oil. Top the salmon wit...

Italian Cream Soda

It's too darn hot to cook.  That doesn't mean though that you can't make something great from your kitchen.  This isn't really much of a recipe but I'm addicted to these right now.  I had one at a great Italian restaurant recently and I couldn't see why I wouldn't be able to make this at home.  Italian cream sodas can be made with any flavored syrup.  My favorite is raspberry.  The cream with the raspberry flavor is an unbeatable combination.  If you wanted to make this a little lighter, you can make an Italian Soda by simply omitting the cream.  This is a perfect summer drink.  Refreshing, uncomplicated and simple to whip up - no cooking required! Fill a glass with ice.  Pour about a half an inch of syrup into the bottom of the dish.  Use any flavor of Torani syrup you wish.  (These can be found at most markets by coffees or teas.)  Fill the glass with club soda and add a splash of cream (or half and hal...
