The Only Guacamole Recipe You’ll Ever Need

Am I the only one who has these absolute staples, when it comes to a party menu? Guacamole is one of them. To me, it just doesn’t feel like a party unless I’m serving guacamole!

I still remember when I was a teenager and a friend of mine had just returned from an exchange trip to Chile – she brought with her an amazing recipe that wasn’t quite the kind of guacamole I was used to. Sadly, we lost touch over the years and I never got to ask her what was in it. But this recipe right here is so delicious, I probably wouldn’t even want to try anything else anymore!

The best thing about this is that it’s super easy. Since I’m making this for every party, I appreciate the fact that I don’t need to go through my recipe book every time. Simple ingredients and measurements make this one really easy to memorize – and, of course, share it with everyone who comes begging for the recipe. Trust me, they will!

I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes in there, too, but that’s totally optional. If you’d rather not add them, it’ll still turn out super yummy.

Quick Tip: If you’re not serving the guacamole immediately, refrigerate it with the pits added to the bowl. They prevent the guacamole from going brown!

Kids And Adults Alike Are Going To Beg For Seconds!

You won’t believe what I have gotten myself into now! My sister’s two kids are coming over for the weekend while she and her husband are traveling for work.

These two boys, aged 5 and 6, are the most adorable and lovely kids ever, but they are not exactly very adventurous when it comes to food. My sister has been struggling, trying to find them new foods to eat, since it does seem occasionally that all they like is cheese. Somehow I blurted out; “Twenty bucks says I can make them love fish” – and now she is absolutely certain I will fail…

Maybe I was a little overconfident, but I have a special trick up my sleeve that my sister doesn’t know about. You see, I’ve found the recipe to the tastiest salmon cakes on the planet, and I’m pretty sure the boys are going to fall in love with these, without even realizing what they’re made of!

These are the crunchiest, tastiest fish cakes I’ve ever tried, and I have been making them this way ever since I first tried the recipe. No fancy ingredients needed! You probably have all of these at hand.

That Meringue Takes This Key Lime Pie To The Next Level

It’s hard to forget the first time I ever tasted key lime pie. I was 10, and for some reason I had never even heard of this wonderful dessert before. My parents took me to this small, family-owned restaurant during our vacation. I was looking at the menu and I thought it sounded really weird that they were serving a pie with keys in it. Haha! It’s funny how kids think sometimes, isn’t it? My mother explained what the name was about, and I really wanted to give it a try.

Oh boy, it was delicious! It was one of those flavors I will never forget. I even got to meet the lovely lady who made the pie. She was the grandma of the family – she and her husband had started the restaurant decades ago, and she still came in every day to make the most amazing desserts for their customers.

When I grew up and got interested in baking, I decided I had to try and make key lime pie just as delicious some day. This recipe is it! The meringue on top makes this even more special, and every time I have a slice of this pie, it takes me right back to that day of our vacation.

How To Bring Back The Summer Vibes, Any Time Of Year

It doesn’t get any easier than this! You only need 6 ingredients for this salsa, plus a pinch of salt, and the prep work won’t take you longer than a few minutes. You’ll end up with this amazing side dish that works perfectly with all your BBQ entrees! My favorite to pair this with is grilled chicken – it’s like they were meant for each other! But I have to say this mango salsa is so delicious that I would be quite happy to eat it for lunch on its own. That’s why I always make a little extra…

I fell in love with mangoes a few years ago when my husband and I were visiting family in Hawaii. They had this huge mango tree in the backyard – you can’t even imagine how delicious those mangoes were! We basically had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Since then I’ve been trying to find new recipes using this beautiful fruit, and this mango salsa has quickly become my favorite. So easy to make, and the flavors work really well together. Make sure you choose nice and ripe mangoes for this – they bring it just the right amount of sweetness.

You May Ditch The Steak Once You Have A Taste Of This Yummy Coleslaw

You know what the most important thing about food is to me? Besides delicious flavor, of course. I think that food should look good.

Now, I don’t mean the kind of dishes you get in a fine-dining restaurant, although I do think they’re amazing. But I want every dish I make to look delicious, and not only smell and taste great. There’s a very easy trick that will immediately make your everyday dishes look pretty. Want to know what it is? Just add plenty of color!

I think it has actually been scientifically proven that colorful meals don’t just look better – they taste better and are, overall, healthier than less colorful dishes. When it comes to coleslaw I think any kind of cabbage is good for you, but you just can’t beat the beautiful purple hue of red cabbage, can you?

This red cabbage coleslaw recipe is a very simple, yet super tasty one. It is a great basic coleslaw that complements any meal, and you can add some of your favorite ingredients to amp it up even more. Try chopping in some red and yellow bell peppers – I always add those and they make it even more colorful!

Quick Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, just cut very thin slices to make “shredded” cabbage.

So Yummy, You’ll Never Go Back To Rice!

What’s your favorite side dish? I’m sure we all love a wonderful potato dish but those can be a little tricky for us who are trying to avoid having too much carbs.

It’s the same thing with pasta noodles and rice – I really enjoy both of them but I wouldn’t want to have them every single day. However, there is a delicious and healthy alternative that you may not have heard of! And it’s so simple to make you won’t even have to turn the oven on!

Cauliflower rice (or rice cauliflower, as some call it) is absolutely delish and a great low carb option that pairs really well with almost any entree. I had heard of it quite a while ago already, but somehow I had completely forgotten about its existence. Until last week, when I was searching for new side dish and my friend mentioned this one to me. It seemed so easy to make, I just had to give it a try. I’m so glad I did!

My Grandma Said This Was The Tastiest Soup She Had Ever Tried

Have you been trying to find a new, exotic soup recipe that’ll knock your socks off? Here it is!

This incredible coconut shrimp soup will have you singing its praises after the first spoonful. It is filled with beautiful Asian flavors; that spicy ginger, lovely lemongrass and of course, the coconut to bring it all smoothly and softly together. Whether you like your Asian food on the spicier or the milder side, this is the perfect recipe for you. Just adjust the amounts to your taste and this will become your number one soup recipe in no time!

Look for the Asian aisle in your grocery store to find all the ingredients. If you’re having a hard time finding fresh lemongrass, you can always go with paste. This is a dish that will do beautifully on its own, without any sides (unless you really want to make something), and it will definitely keep you warm on a cold winter day!
