Guacamole

Print Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium sized tomatoes
• 4 ripe avocados
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 - 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup of minced red onion
• 1 Tbsp of fresh lime juice (lemon juice will work, but lime is preferred)
• handful cilantro (leaves and tender stems), finely chopped

Instructions

1. Dice the tomatoes to 1/4 - 1/2 size. You want to be able to scoop this without the tomatoes falling off.
2. Put the diced tomatoes in a colander on a plate or over the sink. You want the tomatoes to drain some of that extra fluid to keep the guacamole firm and not too runny. If you really want to drain more liquid from the tomatoes, you can toss with salt, but I prefer them without this extra step.
3. While the tomatoes are resting, peel, pit, and mash the avocados. I found that using the back of a slotted serving spoon to mash the avocados is rewarding, and gets me the right blend of chunky and smooth. Feel free to use a food processor, blender, or whatever method works for you.
4. Add the seasonings and lime juice, completely blending in.
5. This is a good time to test the guacamole to see if you like the blend of seasonings. Add more of anything it if sounds good to you. It's much easier to blend in before you add the remaining ingredients.
6. Add the chopped onion and cilantro, stirring well.
7. Finally add the tomatoes and mix in.

Muddy Buddies

My highschooler often makes these around 10:00 at night when she needs a break from homework. With habits like that, you'd think she was in college.

Ingredients

• 3 cups wheat Chex
• 3 cups corn Chex
• 3 cups rice Chex
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan (or use the microwave), stirring frequently. Be careful not to scorch it.
2. Measure out the three varieties of Chex cereals into a very large bowl.
3. When the sauce is completely melted and well mixed, remove from the stove and pour over the cereal mix. Gently stir the ingredients together using more of a folding motion than a stir. You don't want to break the cereal into little pieces.
4. When the pieces seem to be fairly evenly coated with the chocolate, add the powdered sugar and stir gently as before.
