perfect guacamole recipe

that's all this post is about.  perfect guacamole.  it's easy.  there is no need to try and make this complicated and there's certainly no need to add things like oil, sour cream or garlic.  it's a simple recipe that takes all of 5 minutes to make. 

  • fresh and ripe avocados mashed roughly
  • green onions (finely chopped)
  • FRESH lime juice (usually 1 juicy lime for every 2 small avos)
  • salt

optional ingredients:

  • pinch of chili flakes OR fresh finely chopped jalapeno (seeds and veins removed)
  • finely chopped tomato
  • finely chopped cilantro (don't use too much because it's overpowering)

just mix all the ingredients and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips.  i don't give quantities because it all depends on the size and quality of the ingredients you're using.  tasty guacamole needs a fair bit of salt but add it a tiny amount at a time, tasting in between until it's perfect.

TIP - to keep it from turning brown, put one of the avocado pits in the guacamole until ready to serve.

sex in a pan

well contrary to everything i believe about cooking healthy food with processed ingredients - this recipe is too delicious to pass up. as shared on a parenting board - www.mom2mom.ca/toronto this recipe is simple, quick and beyond heavenly.

1 box of Ritz crackers
1 package of Skor Bits
1 can Condensed Milk
handful of chocolate chips

Crush Ritz crackers in a large bowl. add all other ingredients and mix well.

Pour into greased 8 x 8 pan. bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Let cool slightly then cut into squares while still in pan. let cool completely and enjoy!

note: there a million different recipes for this dessert some way more elaborate but this one is by far my favorite! i've noticed a lot of other recipes call for cool whip which i simply refuse to eat because i have no idea what that stuff is. :)
