Healthy Snack

You can find it at health food stores. (link below if you don't have a health store near) I've bought the mixes at Whole Foods Grocers(my favorite grocery store)! I wanted to have something healthy to give my youngest and he likes the mixes that you make into drinks. My favorite fruit bar is the Berri/Berri.....it is wonderful! It has anti-oxidants. It's healthy and you can carry it in your purse...in case you are stuck unable to find a healthy snack. You have to try it....it is awesome!

Copy Cat~Cheese Biscuits from Red Lobster

Red Lobster Cheese Biscuits

2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
¾ cup cold whole milk
4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese

Bush on Top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
pinch salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter.

*Makes one dozen biscuits.

Cinco De Mayo

Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo in California...thought it might be a good day to cook mexican food. I love Guacamole and there was a recipe featured on AOL. Gonna try it and see how it is...thought my friends and sisters may want to try it also...

Guacamole en MolcajetePrep: Cook: Ready in: Serves: 2

provided by KristynPomranz

Ingredients
1 Hass avocado
3 Tbsp chopped onions
1 tsp chopped seeded jalapeño chile
1 1/2 tsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped tomato (discard juice & seeds)
Salt
Cooking Instructions
In a bowl using the back of a wooden spoon thoroughly mash the following ingredients into a juicy paste (using salt as a grinder): 1 T chopped onions ½ tsp chopped jalapeños ½ tsp chopped cilantro ½ tsp salt

Holding the avocado in the cup of your hand split the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in approx. 1/8“ strips; then slice across forming a grid. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon. Repeat with other half of avocado.

Add the avocado to the paste and thoroughly mix together. We mix the ingredients rather than mash them; this leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm not mushy. Then add the rest of the ingredients and fold them together gently. Add jalapeño chiles and salt to taste.

Serve with fresh corn tortillas and/or chips.
