Order Up!! Tomato and Avocado Grilled Cheese…

We have a few avocados we need to use up, and as much as I love making guacamole and adding them to smoothies, I was hungry and wanted lunch LOL So, I took half an avocado and added it to my usual tomato grilled cheese. The creaminess of the avocado, is a great addition to a grilled cheese – this one’s a keeper…omnomnom!!

Pho Me!!

My hubby and I had Pho for dinner on Friday night at Pho 99. Nothing beats chicken, rare beef and tendon pho, fresh shrimp rolls (the photo above isn’t from our restaurant, as we gobbled ours up before I remembered I wanted to take a photo of it LOL) and mango bubble tea…omnomnom!! I know the pho isn’t anything spectacular to look at, but if you’ve never had it, it’s a MUST try. The combination of flavours are simple, but fabulously delicious – I recommend everyone tries it at least once. My hubby and I limit it, by going once every week or so, as it’s very high in sodium…but too nummy to completely give up!!

Peach Season’s in Full Swing!!

We had a bunch of peaches that were getting too ripe, so I searched for an easy recipe, and found this one on Brown Foodies’ WordPress blog (Thank you!!) for peach compote. The recipe called for cherries, but I opted to use dried cranberries instead 🙂

So for dessert last night, I put the compote on top of, a mini angel food cake with strawberries…omnomnom!! 🙂

Dessert Tonight…Mini Angel Food Cake with Strawberries and Chocolate Syrup

Angel food cake + strawberries + chocolate syrup = HEAVEN. It’s just a plain awesome combination…omnomnom!! Now, I wish I could say that I made the angel food cakes myself, but alas I did not. We saw these at Costco, and they’re not too bad for store bought. Nice and light and a perfect size for dessert.

Mmm…White Bean Chili

Last week’s big pot meal was a white bean chili I made in the crockpot. It was SPIIIIICY, but so good!! I took this stove top recipe, minus the yogurt, oregano, cilantro, adding lots of cumin and cayenne pepper. I just threw all the ingredients into the crockpot instead, of making it on the stove top, because I’m ALL about my crockpot!!
