Cupcakes

My daughter loves a good cupcake!! I opened my fridge and saw these beautifully decorated cupcakes.

I couldn't resist taking a pic of them!! Aren't they pretty??? :-))

Cheesecake

Look at what my eyes spotted in the store!!! They were really pulling all the stops to try to make a sale today.

I was so good!! Although cheesecake is one of my all time favs, I actually walked away!!

This was such a tempting, beautifully decorated one too!!! 

Bread & Olive Oil

Why oh why did I have to see this??? I really want some now!! I totally had will power and passed it up, but that might not be the case tomorrow!

Doesn't them make you want some?? :-))

Potatoes & Broccoli

 Luckily, the person in my other pic moved so I could take a pic of these lovely potatoes and broccoli!!

Just seeing them gives me all kinds of ideas, even though, like I said, that wasn't why I was in the store.

Awesome looking veggies!!

Veggies

I went to the store to get the ingredients to make the guacamole, and wound up looking at everything else.  There are my wonderful avocados right in the middle.

I'll admit, a tomato isn't a veggie, it's technically a fruit, but I think we all kind of think of it as a veggie.

Don't they look wonderful?? :-))

Fruits & Veggies

I was so focused on taking a pic of all the beautiful fruits and veggies that I didn't even notice the person in the background!! haha

Just look at all these mouthwatering fruits and veggies in the store.  It's one of my favorite sections!!

Homemade Guacamole

I wasn't always a fan of guacamole, then one day, I tasted it the way it should be made, and have been eating it since that day!!

I was watching a cooking show a while back, and the lady was talking about the "easy way" to make guacamole.  I was all ears!!

It took some time for me to get it right, but I finally did.  My first issue was how to pick the perfect avocado.  Man, I messed up the first three times I tried to make it.  I realized that picking the right avocados was key.  You have to pick the ones that are not to hard, and not to soft, and have some give to them when you squeeze, otherwise, you'll have that super "green" taste that you can't fix no matter what you do.

Secondly, I buy medium Salsa Rojas, because it has everything already in it.  No chopping, dicing or anything else!! I cut the avocados in half, pit them and cut them in squares while they are still in the shell.  I scoop the flesh out with a spoon and place into a bowl.  I add a couple of scoops of the Salsa Rojas, some lime juice and a little salt.  Viola!!! Guacamole!! :-))
