Feliz Cinco De Mayo mis amigas!!
I was going to write this entire post in espanol, but I decided I wouldn't torture you all with my pathetic language skills. Hope everyone is having a lovely Cinco De Mayo. Mexican is my FAVORITE type of food, so I love a good excuse to have an awesome Mexican dinner.
Babbling Brooke's Gorgeous Guacamole
I LOVE Guacamole sooo much. During the summer, I like to whip up a bowl of guac to start off dinner. This is my recipe:
4-5 ripe (dark skin, gives slightly to the touch - but not mushy)
2 firm Roma tomatoes (you can add more!)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch chile powder
1/4 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp chopped garlic
1/8 tsp lime juice
Mash up the avocados or beat them with a stand mixer (for very smooth guac). Stir in tomatoes, salt, chili powder, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Add additional salt to taste (this MAKES the gauc - you need salt!). Enjoy with wholegrain or authentic tortilla chips (none of that Tostitos junk!) or as a topping for burritos, chili, tacos, tortilla soup, and more! Have a margarita too!
For my nails today, I went totally colorful (and found this fun folder that matched as a background!). These are all shades from Zoya's new Flash Collection, which I will be showing you guys soon. I LOVE how bright and fun these colors are, so I thought they would be perfect for Cinco De Mayo.

Have a fun and fabulous Cinco De Mayo everyone!!

Kathy - I'd LOVE to have a great salsa recipe - I LOVE salsa! Especially the chunkier kind (I believe it is called Pico De Galo?). I can't wait to see your Zoyas!!!! I'll be checking the forum this weekend to see :D
