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...

Citrus Cookies

In my promise to bake more to perfect my baking skills (or to hone the lack thereof), I have taken to baking citrus cookies.  The first recipe came in my January Everyday Food magazine for Lemon Icebox Cookies.  I made these probably a month ago, they lasted a couple of days and I have to admit, every night I go into the kitchen wanting something...and it's those cookies.  Tonight, Joe was gone which means I don't have to make dinner.  But I still wanted to do something in the kitchen, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to bake. Of course the first thing that came to mind was those lemon cookies.  Problem was, I had an overabundance of limes.  I considered using the same recipe and substituting lime for the lemon, but visions of powdered sugar lime meltaways danced in my head so I hopped on the trusty laptop and found a Martha Stewart recipe for Lime Meltaways.  My inadaptness at baking really shined through tonight.  I di...

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...
