The Best Ever Fiesta Guacamole

May 1, 2018 By Lane 21 Comments

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.

Good Food Reads

Spring has sprung.  Have I mentioned how much I love spring?  The birds are singing, the tulips have bloomed and I can finally send my kids to school without a jacket!  Just last week, Holly and I attended our first Wildtree party to put together freezer meals that our husbands could grill while we were at work.  We had a great time drinking wine and hanging out with friends (that we hadn’t seen in far too long!) while putting together a wide array of freezer meals.  Total win.  But despite the beautiful weather and the crazy chaotic activity schedule, we are never too busy to bring you another edition of Good Food Reads.  Let’s get started shall we? …

Good Food Reads Bowls

Here in Minneapolis it is theoretically getting warmer, although today I trudged my son out to the bus stop through snow flurries.  Sigh.  Excuse me if I’m just a tad down about that.  But I do plan on spending the weekend at my cabin doing some recipe development for a new partnership we have entered.  More on that soon, but that ensures this weekend will be sunshine-y, no matter what the weather!  But first, let’s get started with this week’s edition of Good Food Reads.  One little bit of housekeeping, I WILL post the links for the recipes corresponding to the photos above at the end of this post (I realize that there was some disappointment the last time when I didn’t do this and I am truly sorry.  Truly.)

Good (Food) Reads: Cinco de Mayo and More

May 4, 2016 By Holly Leave a Comment

Good (Food) ReadsIt’s Wednesday and time for another Good (Food) Reads. The internet was particularly full of foodie riches this week so grab a cold beverage, cozy up, and get ready to find your foodie inspiration!

First, excuse the less than quality iPhone photo above but have ya’ll made Smitten Kitchen’s Sesame Spiced Turkey Meatballs with Smashed Chickpea Salad yet? Do yourself a favor, go here and order her cookbook if you don’t have it already and make this dish immediately. SO. Darn. Good. It’s a staple around here and I’m having a major craving for it right now.

Herbed Avocado Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches from Simple Bites. What a great addition to a ladies lunch or just perfect excuse to add avocado to your egg salad sandwich!

There are so many things I love about spring, but the fresh crop of asapargus is definitely near the top of that list. I love to eat it roasted or grilled with a simple dressing of olive oil, salt and pepper. Here, Half Baked Harvest serves it up in a gorgeous Panzanella Style Caprese Asparagus Salad. Can you say yum?!?!

In another drool worthy entry from Half Baked Harvest, there is Crockpot Mexican Chili Lime Chicken. I think this sounds perfect for a week night dinner. And since tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, it would be a fabulous festive but easy themed dinner!

DIY Chicken Burrito Bowls a la Chipotle from Ambitious Kitchen. I have a serious Chipotle habit so might have to try these as a home made alternative. Maybe it will keep me from those darn chips!!

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, these Grapefruit Jalapeno Margaritas. You’re welcome.

Tiramisu Brownies from Broma Bakery. Two of my favorite things in one gorgeous dessert. I’ll definitely be making these this weekend.

Creamy Baked Sausage Risotto. I know risotto seems more of a wintery recipe, but I still occasionally want some comfort food after a long day at work. I love risotto but don’t love all that standing over the stove and stirring. This recipe from The Clever Carrot seems like a great alternative!

Pimento Cheese Chicken Salad on Honey Butter Biscuits. Say what? Yup, a whole bunch of southern yumminess in one adorable little biscuit sandwich. I can’t wait to try these for a fun take on a classic.

Pickled Radishes. I know, I know Radishes are a controversial vegetable. I happen to love them (fresh from the garden, sliced with butter and coarse sea salt) and I think these quick pickled gems would be great on the burrito bowls from Ambitious Kitchen or as a topping for your Cinco de Mayo tacos!

Well, that’s it for this week’s Good (Food) Reads. I’d love to hear what new recipes or foodie articles you’re reading and making right now. Email, tweet, or send us a message on FB or Instagram!

Summertime Salsa

Summertime Salsa

I know, I know, I’ve written many times lately about the awesome weather we’re having here in Minnesota, but I just can’t say enough about it.  This past weekend we have truly entered patio season, and I am embracing it.  Of course as the weather heats up, and the sun begins to shine, my tastes trend towards those of summer-tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic…basically, salsa!…
