simply guacamole.

I'm a Texas girl. I love me some guacamole. There's nothin' like fresh table-side-made (you know what I mean) guacamole from a great Mexican food restaurant. But it's just as delicious and easy to make at home! 

Here's my easy homemade guac recipe:

simply guacamole.

ingredients:

-avocados

-limes

-salsa

-dried herbs

instructions:

wash and dry avocados and limes.

slice and dice avocados.

squeeze lime juice onto avocado.

(I use a 1:1 avocado/lime ratio)

cover with salsa of your choice.

sprinkle herbs of your choice.

(I use pepper, dill, and oregano)

using a knife and fork, slice and dice mixture (I prefer this to mashing it) until it reaches your desired consistency.

garnish with lime.

simple. fresh. easy. healthy.

enjoy!

apricots with coconut butter and cinnamon

So, it's Monday. I don't know about you, but on a Monday - and a Monday after a holiday weekend no less - sometimes I need a little something sweet to brighten my day...  or bright to sweeten my day. See what I did there?

There's nothing better than fresh fruit from the farmer's market in the summer. Okay, so I didn't actually make it to the farmer's market. I got these apricots at Trader Joe's. Sue me. But hey - they are organic.

Anyway, I just randomly concocted this sweet, simple, summer snack and wanted to share! So without further ado...

apricots with coconut butter and cinnamon.

ingredients:

- apricots

- artisana coconut butter (Whole Foods carries this)

- ground cinnamon

instructions:

 wash and dry apricots.

 slice apricots in half.

 remove the pits/seeds.

 fill centers with artisana coconut butter.
(please do not ruin my concoction and use any other coconut butter. okay, thanks :) once you taste this little dollop of heaven, you'll know why.)

sprinkle with cinnamon.

and voila!

a sweet, simple, savory, summer snack.

 enjoy!
