Guacamole Quickie!

Tired, hungry, not in the mood for cooking, haven't been to the market yet this week! But I found a tomato, a ripe avocado, half a lime, and the red onion I had barely scratched the day before. Guacamole for dinner?

I like snacking for dinner sometimes and, as long as it's a healthy snack, why not? Snacking + Dinner = Snicker?! or Snacker?!

Guacamole Snacker!

  1. I cut the tomato in half, cored it, and cut it into small cubes. 
  2. Then I cut open the avocado, removed the stone and scooped it into a bowl using a soup spoon.
  3. I sliced some of the red onion finely.
  4. I put a large clove of garlic through the garlic press and added it to the mix.
  5. I squeezed half a lime into the bowl, and added a large pinch of salt and a smaller pinch of coriander powder.
  6. I mixed it up nicely and ate it with pita bread. Yum, Snacker!

I add just a tad of red onion, very finely sliced, since I can't really stand the onion breath!

I don't always core the tomato, but I was in the mood today!

Yummy avocado!

Garlic Crusher: My New Best Friend

Garlic crusher saves me time, crushes/minces garlic a lot more finely than I would ever have the patience to do with a knife, and spares me of fingers that smell like garlic, which I can't stand! I am not one for fancy kitchen equipment, but garlic crusher is amazingly useful and very inexpensive! You don't even have to peel the garlic!

Love this little guy! If you don't already have one, I highly recommend buying one!
