My FAMOUS Guacamole and Five Questions!

 I went back through all of my posts and put labels on everyone. Now it is SOO much easier to navigate through all of my posts. You can find a list of all my labels on the left side of my blog.

Last night my cousin's boyfriend made chicken tortilla soup for dinner! It was yummy! For drinks we had margarita's so I was in heaven! I brought over my famous guacamole! I'm not too much of a cook but I can make some pretty tasty guacamole if I do say so myself! 

Here's my recipe: 

Avocado's

Cilantro 

 Lime or Lime Juice 

Onion  

Roma Tomatoes

Red Pepper Flakes 

Salt 

Pepper

 I use about 3 or 4 avocados but it depends on how much you guacamole you want to make. Cut up about half of an onion and add several dashes of cilantro. I usually cut up 1 Roma Tomato but you may want to use two. Squeeze 1 lime into the bowl. Then add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix all together. And your done! I could eat guacamole everyday if I would let myself! : )

Today I decided to also participate in Five Question Friday! 

1. What is one food you can eat everyday? 

Mexican food!!!! I'm sure ALL of you knew that answer!

On Cinco De Mayo at one of my fav Mexican restaurants here in CS

2. Are you working in the career you thought you would be in when you were 18? 

Well...I haven't started my career yet. I will be graduating in December with a degree in Education from Texas A&M. When I was 18 teaching crossed my mind but I wasn't for sure if that's what I wanted to do. I really considered going to nursing school to become a labor and delivery nurse. I LOVE babies!

3. What is something you wish you would of done when you were younger and you didn't?

Back in 2005 when I graduated from high school I decided to move to College Station to attended junior college. I ended up only staying one semester because I hated living in College Station. I kinda wish I would of just stuck it out instead of moving back home. Would I of liked it better the next semester ? Would I of met more people?

  In 2008 I decided to move back and attend A&M...kinda weird huh? I like it much better now!

4. What color are your kitchen walls?

RED! I live in a small apartment and I decided to paint my kitchen red last summer.

I love my retro looking red wall!

5. Do you remember what your very first favorite song was?

Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus

All My Ex's Live in Texas by George Strait

Happy Friday!!!!

Shoo Fly Go Away and Frozen Gramwiches!

Last night Caitlin, Matt, Matt's brother, and me ventured out to Lake Bryan to go to Lakeside IceHouse that has a really nice patio overlooking the lake. I have been wanting to go to this place so I was so excited! However, it was a total let down! When we arrived the rude bar tender informed us that the only thing on the menu for the night was chicken sandwiches and burgers. We all ordered burgers that were literally ready within 3 minutes...I'm guessing that they had been sitting out. As we set down our food, flies start swarming our table. Not just a couple flies but like 20. People also had there wet sweaty dogs on the patio as well. We were disgusted! Looks like we won't be going back there! I was bummed out because I was looking forward to eating somewhere different! However, I did manage to take a pretty picture of the sunset!

I mentioned like over a month ago that every Wednesday I would do a "Weigh in Wednesday" post. Well...that did not happen. Since I'm out of school for the summer I have no excuse not to start exercising and eating healthy. I have been doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred...I like it so far! Yesterday I wet grocery shopping and bought a lot of healthy foods. I also found some recipes in The Biggest Loser Cookbook that I'm going try!

Tonight I cooked salmon and asparagus. I was disappointed in the salmon. It was kinda fishy! I bought the salmon at Wal-Mart so maybe that's why! Do y'all know any good salmon recipes that will take away the fishy taste? Or where do y'all buy salmon at?

But this dessert recipe from The Biggest Loser Cookbook was delish!!

Frozen Gramwiches! 

2 whole low-fat graham crackers 

1/4 cup light or fat-free frozen whipped topping

Break the crackers into 4 squares and spread the whipped topping on two of the crackers. Then place the other two crackers on top. Freeze for about 2 hours and then you have yourself a Frozen Gramwich! It's only 150 calories!

YUM!

Have a great night! :)

Cake Balls, Sushi, and Paint Tape - I know RANDOM!!

So my friend Kristan is rooming with me for five days this week since she cannot move into her apartment until Sunday. She needed a place to stay while she was working this week. Kristan absolutely LOVES to bake...I mean this girl would bake something everyday if she could. Her favorite is cake. I told her the TLC show Cake Boss needs to hire her! Ha! She has been wanting to teach me how to bake so the other day we baked Cake Balls. Kristan got the recipe off of Kelly's Recipe Blog and they are soo yummy! They are also SO easy to make....

1st- Pick out any cake mix you want. We chose yellow cake mix.
2nd- Bake the cake according to directions on box
3rd- When the cake is still hot crumble it in a bowl and mix with a can of frosting
4th- Refrigerate bowl for about an hour
5th- Melt almond bark (white or chocolate) into bowl and dip balls into bark

AND YOUR DONE!! THANKS KRISTAN FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO BAKE! HA!

Last night my cousin Caitlin called to see if Kristan and I wanted to come over to her boyfriend Matt's house for awhile. Kristan decided not to go since she was really tired from work and wanted to rest. So I went for awhile...Matt just moved into a new house and it is SO nice! It's not at all the regular college guy's house! Matt had bought some Sushi he wanted Caitlin and I to try. I have never had Sushi before and neither had Cait. We were a little nervous before eating it as you can tell by our faces in the picture below. Ha! It was soo GROSS! We both didn't like it...I think Matt got the Sushi at a supermarket. I have heard before that Sushi is usually better if it is good Sushi? I really do not know what that means? Do ya'll like Sushi....where can you eat good Sushi at?

I got back to my apartment last night at like 11:00 and I was thinking I would probably find Kristan passed out on the couch. But this is what I found when I walked in....

Kristan had surprised me and had taped up my whole living room/kitchen so I can paint it this weekend! I was so surprised....I told her she did NOT have to do that! I felt bad that I was out having fun and she was in here taping up my apartment! I thought she was going to be relaxing and sleeping while I was gone! THANK YOU SO MUCH KRISTAN! This really helped me out a lot for when I paint on Saturday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I will post pictures on Sunday of my newly painted apartment!!
