The Best Guacamole I’ve Ever Made – recipe

Cheesy Quinoa Bites A new year always brings new resolutions. And I do have new resolutions (in a post to come), but this would be the same resolution I’ve had pretty much every year that I can remember – get healthier. Hopefully this is the year that sticks. It has to stick through January, because I’m in a group of ladies trying to lose 10 pounds by February 4th. So far this year, I’ve exercised everyday (*cough* ignore that the grand total is only two days)! But eating is the other half of the equation. Enter Cheesy Quinoa Bites. These babies are amazing. I may try to play around and sub fresh parsley for the cilantro at some point, but they were delicious as is! Ingredients 2 cups cooked quinoa (I cook my quinoa in low sodium chicken broth) 2 large eggs 1 cup shredded carrot 2 stalks green onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 Tbs all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp seasoning salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2 Ingredient No-Bake Date Squares Only 2 simple ingredients and a in a few minutes you can have delicious organic date squares. (Great Energy Bars!) Organic medjool dates (if dates are not soft and caramely then soak overnight in just enough filtered water to cover) Pulsate water and dates in a food processor until a thick smooth paste forms, use a little more water if necessary. It should be the consistency of a thick jam. Once chilled and firm, cut and serve. Enjoy! Check out my recipe tab for more easy and healthy recipes! Cucumber Boats Cucumber Boats I am always searching for quick, healthy and easy snacks – aren’t we all? This one works… for the most part. I can’t see myself packing this one for work and whipping it out at my desk, so we’ll say this is a good weekend snack or when you get home from work snack. Well, now that I think about it I guess you could just chop the cucumber and mix it in with the cottage cheese and take it to work..? If you like cottage cheese, and cucumbers then this will be a little slice of heaven for you. **I get a LOT of questions and comments on this one – Yes, it would be awesome with tomato and celery, or dried spices, and greek yogurt would be awesome!
