My Guacamole is the greatest!!

And I am not just saying that. I can't ever buy prepared guac in the store. Even at restaurants sometime I am disappointed when I bite into a chip laden down with creamy green goodness. I've been making guac for years, but it wasn't until recently that really perfected my recipe. So here it is, sharing with you because I <3 you.

Ashley's Guacamole 
Ingredients:
2 large avocados, ripe
3 tbsp red onion, diced
1-2 tbsp jalepeno, diced (depending on how spicy you want it)
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 tbsp cumin
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:
Really easy! Mash the avocados, add in the remaining ingredients, stir. Add lime juice last. Enjoy!!

Finally... I'm BACK, plus chicken salad I LOVE!

I'm baaaack!!!! I know it's been over two years, but after starting a new job and having a BABY (wha????) I have become re-energized to start this back up again. I'm still trying to figure out the best content for this page, so I welcome feedback and thoughts.

In the meantime, I have finally made a chicken salad recipe that I absolutely LOVE! Ya'll, seriously... I have made SO MANY chicken salad recipes and they were all "meh." Finally, finally I have found one I enjoy. I took what I love from a couple different ones and made one that I just can't stop eating. I hope you enjoy it.

Yummy Chicken Salad 
Ingredients: 

• 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded and skin discarded - (you can roast your own chicken if you want, but I recommend just buying a roasted chicken from the store and shredding it when it gets to room temperature)
• 1 cup red grapes, halved
• 1 cup diced nuts - choose your favorite. I used walnuts, but almonds and pecans would be good
• 3 ribs of celery, diced
• 3 green onion stems, diced thin 
• 2 heaping tbsp fresh dill 
• 1 cup light or fat free mayonnaise 
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 tbs. dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions: 

1. In an extra large bowl, mix together your dry ingredients (chicken, grapes, nuts, celery, onion)
2. In a small bowl, mix together your remaining ingredients 
3. Add the wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix well. 

Tip 1: Eat on crackers, as a sandwich or in a wrap. This is great to make for a crowd. Go to Costco and get one of those large containers of mini croissants and you can make mini chicken salad croissant sandwiches. They will be a party pleaser for sure!

Tip 2: You'll notice the mixture might be a little dry. I recommend adding a little extra mayo to your bread or wrap when you assemble your sandwich. This ensures you get the proper amount of mayo to your taste.

Keep in your fridge for up to a week and enjoy!!
