Help! I'm Addicted to Guacamole!

I love Mexican food. I really love guacamole. Okay, I really just love any use of avocados. Although, guac and avocados pair best with bad Mexican food there are some easier alternatives:

• Guacamole on a breakfast omelet. You can leave out the cheese and potatoes to save carbs/calories. You can add, egg whites, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, spinach, mushroom, jalapenos or just about any vegetable your little heart desires.
• Guacamole in a salad. You don't even need a dressing! It is so good with eggs, peppers, and tomatoes.
• Guacamole in pesto! Make your pesto normally and just add guacamole or avocado to it. Serve over spaghetti squash instead of noodles if you want to cut back.
• Guacamole on pizza! I like to make 'salad' pizzas. Let's face it, we all want pizza some time. Why not try to make it a little healthier? Try topping your cheese pizza with salad items next time. It is delicious.

Don't be afraid to try something weird. You might just find a new recipe!

Cheat Meals are the BEST Meals

I like to eat healthy as much as the next person, but I love a good cheat meal. If you're hung over, it is just that much more enjoyable. My go-to-favorite bad meal is alfredo. Here's how I make it:

1. Boil a bag of cheese stuffed tortellini  (typically 6-8 minutes). I add garlic salt and olive oil to my water.
2. While tortellini is cooking, I chop very finely (in this order), half an onion, two bell peppers and 1 tomato.
3. I sauté my onions and bell pepper in one heaping spoonful of butter for 3 minutes on low.
4. Then I add my tomato and one tablespoon of minced garlic and continue to cook on low for one more minute.
5. Lastly, I add 1/2 a small container of cream cheese and 1/2 a small container of sour cream. I cook on low/medium low till everything is melted and liquidated; roughly 2 minutes.
6. I strain my noodles and add them to the sauce and top with 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, crushed black pepper and blackening seasoning.

All in all, this meal probably takes 30 minutes and $20. It is DELICIOUS. It pairs great with chicken, shrimp, bread and wine. It is also very yummy reheated. I've made this with multiple types of noodles and have even frozen/reheated it before.

Be bad and be good at it:)
