I am in between studying chapters, so this is going ot be quick. We are guacamole lovers. I never even tried the stuff until a couple years ago a friend made me try hers before I left on a Mexican vacay...I have been hooked ever since.
4-5 advocados
1/2 reduced salt canned corn (or a handful of cooked frozen corn, cook the canned corn before adding to guac)
1/4 -1/2 purple onion (chopped)
1/4-1/2 green pepper
1 lime
garlic powder to taste
salt & pepper to taste
cheyenne pepper to taste
For those who like tomatoes & cilantro you can add those, I guess to your tastes
K so here is how it all started, I got a recipe for guac which was just the advocado, garlic powder, lime juice and salt and pepper. That was delish! Then we went to a restraunt and they had corn and onion in theirs. SO, I added corn and onion to mine. Then I had a seven layer dip that had green peppers in it, I thought that would be delish in my quac...then the hubs told me to kick it up with some spice and so the cheyenne pepper was born into it.
Mash the advocado, then dump the rest of the stuff in and mix well.
I like it with extra lean turkey soft tacos. I just use extra lean turkey and cook it with the rest of the chopped green pepper and purple onion. Then I just use any ol' taco season packet. I put salsa and cheese on the tortilla ( if I am really fancy I will whip up a box of spanish rice and put that in the tortilla too, but I don't get fancy often!). Then I top a TON of quac on top b/c it is sooo deliteful!!
Hope somebody else enjoys this too :)

Finals week chicken chilli
I have loved chicken chilli but never made it because I figured it would be a hassel to try to cook the chicken, shred it up and then put it in the chilli. I want easy. Well, I found it! So easy that I made it the day before finals so it would last us the next couple days.
Crock pot easy chicken chilli:
1 can white beans (I try to use low sodium for all can foods if available)
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans (I like light red)
1 package frozen corn (totally forgot this at the store so I used 1 can)
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
cumin
cayenne pepper
garlic powder
black pepper
1 package taco seasoning
3 breast of chicken
Throw all ingredients into crockpot except for the chicken. The spices I probably used about 1 tsp. on the cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and with the garlic powder I probably used about 2 tsp. (give or take). mix it all up and stick the whole chicken breast on top of the chilli. Set the crock pot 4(high)-8(low) hrs and relax (or study for your finals). When it is time to eat, take the chicken breast out and shred them on a plate (I just use 2 forks to shred), then put the chicken back in the chilli and mix well. Serve hot. Top with fresh grated cheese and tell the hubby to clean the dishes!!
P.S. see those yummy garlic rolls in the background...super easy. Recipe to come soon!
Once again, I can't use spell check anymore. Blogger, if you are reading this, what is up?? So, ignore all typos and mis-spellings.
