Guacamole and Tortilla chips :) .......Refined!


Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate -Alan.D. Wolfelt

I love my Mexicans so much that I want to pay them a visit. Hello Mexico here I come!!! Lol. Until I am able to afford a vacation let me visit these countries through my food.

Who else know the colors of the Mexican flag? If you said Green, White and Red then you are smart.... food smart of course.

Guacamole sometimes referred to as "Guac" in North America is an avocado dip created by the Mexicans. It is now contemporarily used as a salad ingredient or even a side dish in American cuisines. Guacamole dip is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados and salt with a masher. Some extensive recipes call for tomato, onion, garlic, lemon or lime juice, chilli, cilantro or basil and personalized seasonings. The reason I have kept you all engaged overtime is because we defile the food norm. We don't do traditional hence, this refined and easy recipe.

Guacamole and Tortilla Chips:

Ingredients : Guacamole

  • One ripe avocado (depending on the number of foodies)
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt to taste
  • 3- 5 strawberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (As little as 1/2 of one teaspoon of cinnamon daily can have positive effects on blood sugar levels, digestion, immunity, and more. However stronger doses are also extremely beneficial for improving heart disease risk and cutting risk your for diabetes and cancer) you can read more about this on https://draxe.com/health-benefits-cinnamon/

Prep:
  • Properly wash both hands.
  • Cut the avocado into equal halves and remove the seed.
  • Scoop the avocado into a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Slice the strawberries into a heart shape.
  • Measure the olive oil, cinnamon and salt needed.



Directions:

Cookie Crust Banana Ice-cream....... Just because I love bananas!

Bananas are extremely healthy and yummyyyyy. They contain several essential nutrients, and have benefits for digestion, heart health and weight loss. Bananas are among the most popular fruits on earth. Bananas contain a fair amount of fiber, as well as several antioxidants. bla bla bla.  In as much as this is not why I am here, I thought it beneficial to back up my love for bananas as they always taught me to cite my references while writing grad school paper works :) frustrating right?  SUMMER  I look at the sun and all I can think of are bananas. :) :) Always remember that the owner of this blog loves food just so I don't always surprise you with my comparisons.

Shrimp Coconut Rice

Why don't coconuts have money? Because people milk them dry. Hahaha. If you ever think of a summer main dish to serve on a sunny afternoon, coconut rice would definitely play the role perfectly. This is certainly because it is tied to the tropics which only depicts a SUNNY ambience so why not? Have you ever pictured a "coconutty" coconut rice? I wonder if there's something as such but hey you get introduced to all the food jargon right here. A "coconutty" coconut rice is one which contains all the primary and secondary sources of coconut - and that would be coconut cream, coconut water, coconut shreds, coconut oil etc. For this particular recipe, I only used coconut water, shreds and cream of coconut. The coconut oil would come in handy when trying to replace vegetable oil but in this case I didn't think about it early enough. One smart tip I discovered prior to preparing this meal is not to use the regular coconut milk. This barely underlines th...
