Guacamole

 I'm trying to get back to healthier eating so I started by making guacamole. Its great for snacking on between meals. I don't even use crackers or veggies. I just eat it by the spoonful!

1. Cut open a perfectly ripe avocado and spoon into a Cuisinart mini food processor. 

2. Add top of minted garlic, 1/2 tsp cilantro, and 2 top lime juice then blend.

3. Finely dice 1 Tbs onion and 3 Tbs tomato. 

4. Mix and voila! Yummy guacamole! Enjoy!

Homemade Veggie Pizza

 

I followed the pizza dough recipe of Bobby Flay on line

Next I topped it with pizza sauce from grocery store

Last I added the toppings; sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, broccoli cut very small, and arugula which I think next time should be added after cooking

Bake at 550 degrees for 15 mins on lower rack
