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.

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.

Anniversary Trip 2010

Rome Wednesday/Thursday March 3-4 We start our journey at 9:30 in the morning at Grand Rapids airport.  From there, it is off to Cincinnati, then to New York.  At 5:00 pm we are in the skies en route to Rome.  We land at 8am Roman time.  After a short train ride, we arrive to our hotel, in the rain and check in.  We change, freshen up and go out to explore the area near our hotel and grab lunch.  We stop in a little deli which serves panini and made to order pizza.  Gelato was also on my mind and oh...how to describe such creamy, rich decadence?  It was pure heaven.  We were in Piazza Barberini.  Luckily, the rain stopped and we were free to roam Rome.  Jet lag quickly set in for me.  We found our way to the Pantheon and walked in.  It was amazing.  It still didn't quite sink into me yet that we were actually in Rome.  We decide to head back to the hotel for a quick nap before we went out for dinner...

Dill Potato Salad

Every year I seem to fall in love with a new herb.  I grow it, I use it as much as I can, and I wonder how I've never used it before.  Although there has been torrential downpours just about everyday, I already know that I am going to be growing dill in my garden this spring.  I'm in love with it ever since I made this potato salad.  I want to put dill in everything.  I love it's tangy savory-ness.  It's a perfect herb - a perfect compliment to any dish.  Dill, where have you been all my life?  It's been way too long.  Try this simplistic, French inspired potato salad and you too will fall dill-eriously in love with dill.
