I’m absolutely positive there are others out there who were in love with guacamole from the day they were born, like myself.

Guacamole is heaven. 🙂 Many people are enamored with avocado toast…I say guacamole toast!!

You have the choice of buying many numerous ready made guacamole concoctions from your grocery stores. They are good. However, the guacamole that you can make at home is far superior and far less expensive than the ready made at your local grocery store!

Guacamole ingredients avocado lime chili and garlic

Few ingredients…amazing taste and flavor! Avocado, lime, chili, garlic, salt and pepper. That’s it…for one of the most amazing foods in the world. 🙂

Eat guacamole with chips, tacos, tostadas, chalupas, salad, toast. etc. etc. On its own or a dip for veggies it is amazing.

1,000 FOODS TO EAT PROJECT

Guacamole is one of the 1,000 Foods to Eat listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. It is #12 on my quest to prepare and eat each of the foods listed in the book.

Taos, New Mexico

April 26, 2019 by Grace 4 Comments

I love New Mexico, but had never stayed in the Taos area until recently. Better late than never! Taos is not just a ski destination. There are so many varied and wonderful things to do and see in Taos. Taos is for everyone!

Top Things To Do In The Taos Area

Ojo Caliente

Ojo Caliente is one of the oldest health resorts in North America. Translated it means “Hot Eye.” It is located approximately 45 minutes away from Taos, and the drive to the resort is beautiful from Taos.

They have a great restaurant on site, called the Artesian. Prior to experiencing the hot springs and saunas, we dined at the Artesian and had some great fish tacos and a New Mexican classic: the green chili cheeseburger. 🙂

I was first introduced to the taste of Marmite when I was living in England. No, I didn’t eat Marmite from the jar (can’t imagine doing that!). snacked on Twiglets which are coated with a savory yeast extract that tastes like Marmite. Twiglets are so named because they look like twigs.

Indian Spiced Lentils With Onion Salad and rice in a bowl — Delicious Indian Spiced Lentils With Basmati Rice and Onion Salad

I was first introduced to Indian food when I was living in Birmingham, England. The British have long had a love affair with curries, and I was totally hooked after my first bite.

Although I had dined on meat curries such as chicken tikka masala and chicken vindaloo for awhile, it took me a few years before I developed an appreciation for Indian vegetarian fare. In fact, India has the world’s largest number of vegetarians, and consequently some of the most mouthwatering vegetarian dishes!

We were blown away by the beauty that was everywhere in southern Utah, and you will be too. Our family spent one week there (which was not enough), and we are yearning to go back.

If you are considering where to take your family on an affordable vacation that will be full of adventure and fun, you must consider southern Utah.

We found an amazing Airbnb to stay in, which was our home base. The Smithsonian Retreat is where we stayed, and it is located in the little town of Apple Valley. You can read about this incredible Airbnb in my post, Amazing Stay at the Smithsonian Retreat, Utah. It is perfect for a large family, and offers so many amenities including tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts. The house is awesome, but its standout features are the location and the views. I can’t say enough about it!!

The Incredible Edible Egg

“The incredible edible egg.” This is a jingle from an egg commercial from my childhood that I remember. I 100% agree that eggs are pretty incredible.

I love eggs in any way, shape, or form. Hard or soft boiled, scrambled, over easy, sunny side up (one of my favorites!)…all these preparations are wonderful.

Healthy Turkey Sandwich With Grilled Zucchini

March 31, 2019 by Grace Leave a Comment

Sometimes there is nothing better than a great sandwich.

I love sandwiches because they are so satisfying, budget friendly, and easy to prepare.

This healthy turkey sandwich is so colorful. In addition to the zucchini it includes red onion, tomatoes, and havarti cheese, but you can also substitute swiss. The dressing is a mixture of mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and fresh garlic, which gives it a kick.

Last year, I purchased the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. The back of the book jacket states that the book contains “the tastes, ingredients, restaurants, dishes, and recipes (more than 70) that every food lover should experience or dream about.” As I am a food lover, I certainly didn’t want to miss out on anything, so I purchased this book and began my project.

Irish Colcannon

If you have never heard of colcannon and champ, you’d be hard pressed to figure out what these are.

Colcannon is a much beloved Irish mashed potato dish. It is a heavenly concoction, traditionally served on All Hallows’ Eve, with either charms or coins hidden inside it.

Colcannon (along with champ), is one of the 1,000 foods to eat listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. If you’ve never tried colcannon, I beg you to make this and indulge in a huge bowl of it soon!
