Cinco de Mayo Margaritas - And a Recipe!!!

If you don't already have margarita glasses for tonight (or for those of you lucky enough to have the afternoon off), stop by Macy's and pick up this set for $29.99 on SALE.

Then, head over to Patina to pick up some onion goggles, to make this fabulous guacamole. From McTatty's Personal Kitchen.

McTatty's Green Guacamole

2 – 3 avocados, peeled and sliced
2 lemons, juiced
½ large red onion OR 1 medium red onion
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
Pepper
½ cup cilantro, ROUGHLY chopped
2 – 3 tbsp olive oil, can be EVOO

Throw everything into a food processor except for the olive oil. Drizzle in the olive oil to desired smoothness. Process so that the guac is evenly green and no jalapeño pieces are showing – those who are not used to the heat may not like guac after getting a taste of a hot pepper! I usually top with a pinch more salt, a small sprig of cilantro and pray to the avocado gods that they don’t turn brown overnight, with this much lemon, no worries!

Enjoy and have fun tonight!

Valentine's Day...

Decorate for Valentine's Day? I don't think I will, my husband's birthday is the same week. So romance will probably be thrown out the window to beer pong and Guitar Hero.

I do have red sheets in the bedroom and a fabulously scented "romance" candle, but with my husband and scents, I don't really know what he likes!

At Crate & Barrel, you'll be able to find some sweet things for your loved one. Try out Barefoot Contessa's chocolate cupcake mix for $10.95 or the sweet mini baking tins for $2.50 each. You can make your sweeties chocolate dreams come true! (Or in my case, yellow cake with chocolate frosting...).

They also have heart ramekins - in which I could try to make chicken pot pies, but I'm not sure how the pie dough would be able to fit. That I would have to try to make BEFORE Valentine's Day!
