I have never met a guacamole that I haven’t liked. But this Best Ever Fiesta Guacamole is beyond delicious. Flavorful and full of healthy fats, this is the guacamole that I’ve been making for my own family for years. You may be surprised at the secret ingredient that makes this simple Fiesta Guacamole out of this world.

I’m over winter. Officially over winter. After getting a foot of snow here in Minneapolis last weekend, I am begging it to stop. I’m screaming uncle. I’m ready to move on to sunny days and warm temperatures. It is time for salads on the deck with a good book. Like this Cobb Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing.

How was your week, friends? It was a busy one over here and now it’s time for a little relaxation and a lot of good food. I’ve done basically zero cooking in the last week because of my crazy work schedule and so the first thing I’m doing tomorrow is heading to the grocery store to stock up on ingredients to get back into the kitchen. I’m hungry and feeling so inspired by all of the goodness shared on the internet lately. Here are a few of my favorites for this week’s Good Food Reads. Enjoy!
Avocado, Proscuitto and Egg Sandwiches. Otherwise known as: my perfect breakfast….
Yep, still winter here in Minneapolis. Although we don’t have much snow and our temperatures are well above zero (which is actually balmy for this time of year) it is definitely still winter. And this is the time of winter that I start going just a little crazy, dreaming about sunshine and warmer weather. I do have a vacation coming up pretty soon, but in the meantime I’m just going to have make do with this Chicken Tortilla Soup. Light yet packed with flavor, this soup will bring you just a little piece of summer….
I just experienced Avocado Toast for the first time. And definitely not the last time. In fact it is a new favorite!
So goodness knows this blog isn’t political-after all everyone needs to eat no matter what your political leaning. And we love all of our friends and viewers regardless. But that’s not to say that Holly and I don’t have very strong views and opinions (and luckily we agree). The last few months have made it very clear that much needs to be done to bring us together as a country and to heal us as a nation. The big disagreement seems to be in exactly how to do this. We need to find common ground and we may need to start small. Truly though, I think we can all agree that anything that limits our access to avocados is a bad plan. A bad plan indeed. This Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha will show you just how bad of a plan……
I learned about a new food this weekend and I thought it only fair to share it with you! (Especially since I was thinking: Where have you been all of my life?). I had made my favorite sauce in the whole wide world (Cilantro Lime sauce, in case you missed the post) and was looking for something special to do with it. Something my entire family would like. Something that wasn’t my “same old”. I found it in Pulled Pork Sopes, and we’ll be making it many more times in the coming months….
I tried to come up with a catchier name than Cabin Burgers, I really did. But the truth of the matter is, this is the meal that the kids beg for when we head to the cabin, and thus they have always been called “Cabin Burgers”. The name just stuck, boring or not. And although the name may be boring, this burger is anything but……
Southwest Salad with Cilantro Chipotle Dressing, the perfect summer salad! A little bit spicy, a little bit tangy, creamy and cool, this dressing is the perfect foil to this flavorful southwestern salad!
A weekend at the cabin never fails to reinvigorate me. It’s always nice to spend time with those I love the most without the constant interruption of all of our busy schedules. A part of that reinvigoration is always finding ways to nourish my soul…and my body. So with that said, I was really in the mood for some fresh food this weekend. Southwest Salad with Cilantro Chipotle Dressing fit that bill nicely!…
