Good Dinner Mrs. Mellen

Guacamole so deliciously easy to make why buy when you can make fresh. I like this simple recipe that has just the right blend of spice with a kick from fresh jalapeno pepper. If you like more heat add more jalapeno pepper. Guacamole 3 has avocados, halved, seeded and peeled 1 lime, juiced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 1 bunch scallions, diced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced Directions In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.  Enjoy! www.g...

I love edamame enjoying steamed with just a little sea salt. So good and healthy For a change I like to spice up Edamame with this hot sauce.

I love experiment with different ideas to create new recipes.  Since I learned to cook at a young age from my mother I developed like most experienced cooks the ability to create dishes that not only taste delicious but fill that need for putting a meal on the table quickly. I believe that if you are going to eat food should taste wonderful inviting you to sit down even on a week night for a tasty meal with you family.

After Thanksgiving I use the leftover turkey to make a big batch of this hot Chili freezing in individual containers to enjoy during the busy holiday season. After a long day of baking and preparing for Christmas I can sit back, relax, serving this delicious Chili for dinner.
