Deliciousness: Smoothies

It is finally warm where I live! Yay yay yay! Warm weather means smoothie weather! Smoothies might just be my favorite food/drink in the world. (Most people drink smoothies, but I like my smoothies so thick; I have to eat them with a spoon!)

It's quick, delicious and easy! It's also really healthy and fills you up! (Then again I make a giant smoothie... whoops!)

It's a work of art.

Ingredients: 2 cups of frozen strawberries, 1/6 cup of milk (whatever type you drink! We drink skim at my house), 2 teaspoons of honey

You can add other fruits and yogurts, if you'd like! This is just the recipe I used for this time.

1.) Add all the strawberries and milk into blender.

2.) Drizzle honey on top of strawberries.

3.) Blend. Depending on how thick/sweet you like your smoothie, add more milk and honey accordingly. 

4.) When the smoothie is the thickness to your likeness, and all strawberries are blended, stop blending! 

5.) Enjoy!

I love my blender! It works so well, and makes the best smoothies.
It can also turn ice into snowballs, which is great.
My brothers and I love making snowballs, and adding syrups.
It's actually a food processor, which can also make drinks!

5 minutes later, already almost gone...
It became more liquid than solid quickly

Deliciousness: Quesadillas

In honor of Cinco de Mayo yesterday!

I'm not always a huge fan of quesadillas; I love to have lots of ingredients in my tortilla, which is why I usually eat burritos or burrito bowls. However... I just had the most delicious quesadilla! And it was homemade... even better! It will probably be my lunch for the rest of the... week? Month? Year? Haha, who knows?!

Anyways my new delicious quesadilla had (guess!) avocado in it... yes, I know, I'm obsessed! The obsession is real.

Ingredients: one small tortilla, shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese), two slices of deli ham, 1/4 avocado (depending on how much avocado you want... 1/4 of an avocado is a lot for this!)

1. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on tortilla.
2. Put tortilla in toaster oven. I used bagel mode. 
3. Take tortilla out when top of tortilla is crispy and cheese is melted. Don't let cheese burn!
4. Slice avocado into slices. (Just use a butter knife, or even a plastic knife... avocado is really easy to slice!)
5. Add two slices of deli ham onto tortilla.
6. Add avocado onto tortilla.
7. Fold and cut in half. Enjoy!

So tasty.
With a side of cherry tomatoes!

Folded and sliced... and ready for your enjoyment!

Deliciousness: Avocado

My favorite food might just be avocado. Possibly. But I know one thing for sure, I've never met an avocado I didn't like. 

I think I had avocado for the first time when I was 10? I had never tried it before, who knows why? I didn't try many foods that looked weird to me when I was younger. It sucks because they're some of favorite foods now: avocado, tomato, pickles. (Well I love pickles, but they aren't one of my favorite foods!)

So I was reading Amy Stone's blog, and I love reading about restaurants! I fell in love with that photo of the avocado toast. I knew I'd have to try, and make some of my own! This morning, I was looking for some breakfast, and noticed that we had some leftover avocado from when we made our own sushi. I can't pass up a chance to eat some avocado! Seriously avocado is perfect with everything, on top of omelettes, with rice, with tacos, with chips... with everything!

I wanted to make some avocado toast, but we didn't have any bread in the house! That was unusual because we typically have bread in the house, although I don't eat it that often. (I eat peach, strawberry or plain Greek yogurt for lunch. The plain Greek yogurt is eaten with cereal, honey or granola!) Of course, when I want bread, we don't have it.

But we did have Ritz crackers. So I present to you the easiest snack/light breakfast/side/appeitizer ever that is delicious!

Ingredients: avocado, Ritz crackers (any plain cracker will do fine!)

1. Slice avocado. (Just use a butter knife, avocado is super soft!)
2. Put slice on top of a cracker.
3. Enjoy! 

PS: My rockin' dad is going out to buy some bread, so I'll post about avocado toast when I try it!
