Chunky Fruit Salsa

June 11, 2015 By Erica Acevedo 1 Comment

Happy summer, folks!!

Don’t argue, because it is soooooo summer right now.

I don’t even care if it’s actually still two weeks away, Florida got the memo early, as usual.

We even had an out-of-season tropical system brewing a few weeks ago! I mean, really.

Go home, Mother Nature, you’re drunk.

When I think of summer, I think of sun-hats, cold beer, lazy afternoons by the pool, and all-day picnics by the grill with lots of snacks to keep your tummy full until dinner is ready. I don’t know about you, but I can imagine a big bowl of this Chunky Fruit Salsa right in the middle of everything! [Read more…]

Easy Homemade Guacamole

Easy Guacamole you can make in a jiffy all summer long // My Cooking Spot

Susannah from Feast + West here with another summer appetizer. It’s just not summer without a few chip-and-dip recipes, if you ask me. Chips, salsa and guac are the quintessential party foods at every summer get-together.

It’s taken me a long time, but I have finally mastered my easy guacamole recipe. It’s quick and only requires a few ingredients, though it’s a good idea to plan ahead when you make guacamole. The key is ripe avocados — they mash the best and give the most flavor — so you’ll need to buy them in advance. (Hint: I always use two forks to mash the avocados into a mostly smooth consistency with a few chunks remaining.)

The pioneer woman just has the best recipes, you guys. Especially for days when you just don’t care what the calorie count is. Really, does she make anything that’s not delicious? The answer is no.

In my house, we have a rule that if I cook then my husband cleans. He gets the easy end of the deal with this meal because it only uses one skillet. He begs to differ because he has to scrub. His words, of course, not mine. He’s such a man. But he’s a good one and he’s nice to look at so I’ll keep him.

The recipe seems complicated when at first read, but it’s quite easy. So I guess, it’s pretty easy for both of us. But let’s not tell my husband that, ok? Ok!

Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppers

June 5, 2015 By Madison Wetherill Leave a Comment

Snacking is my favorite meal of the day. I tend to eat a lot of smaller meals throughout the day, so I like to think of myself as a bit of a pro when it comes to snack recipes. I love the typical fruit or even a handful of chips, but preparing a quick snack is even better. The best part about most snacks that take a few minutes of prep work is that they’re usually the best recipes to keep on hand for party appetizers too. These goat cheese stuffed peppers are a versatile little recipe that can serve as a great snack or appetizer.
