HOLY GUACAMOLE

The best GUACAMOLE in the WORLD
Twitblogbookers, I am going to give you my guacamole recipe for free.  This is the best guacamole in the universe. I have spent months perfecting it and it is so simple but so satisfying.  I have spent days just eating each ingredient, but I do it for you. So for the love of all that’s holy, I present to you my GUACAMOLE! 
Heres What You Need:
ALL FRESH!
2 ripened avocados, when they are just a little soft that means they are perfect.
Quarter of a Red Onion 
Half a bushel of cilantro
Teaspoon to tablespoon Sea Salt
Quarter Lime 
Quarter/slice of jalapeno




 Heres What You Do:
In a food processor put the Red Onion, Cilantro, and Jalapeno in, process until they are in the smallest bits possible.




Next cut your avocados in half, take out the middle seed using the knife trick, 
BE CAREFUL, gently chop into the seed then twist and it will come right out attached to the knife blade.
Next scoop out the avocado into a bowl.
With a spoon, stab them until they are kind of broken down, then start smashing them with the back of the spoon until it is a perfect mixture of chunk and cream.

Once this has happened, add the ingredients form the food processor.
Mix them all in really well, then add the salt and squeeze the lime juice out into the bowl,  mix one more time really well.
NOW GUAC IT ALL UP!


LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES:)

BANANA PANCAKES ... Sam's key to winning over the one you love..


Sam’s Yummy Banana Pancakes
This will only take about 15 minutes...

Ok friends, I am going to share with you one of my favorite things to make for breakfast, lunch, or brinner (Breakfast for dinner for those that don’t know).  If you really want to impress those around you with your superb cooking skills then this is your recipe.  Its all from scratch and taste like winning. Have a girl or boy your trying to impress?  This is a must have recipe to go to then.  Tweak it to make your own type of pancakes too... You could add blueberries or pizza or whatever you want to it... Even if you don't like bananas traditionally, I suggest to try this out because they add a nice sweet fruit taste that is noticeable but not overbearing.  

Heres what you need:
1 Cup flour 
1 Tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch or two or three of salt
1 egg 
1 Cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
1 or 2 bananas ripe ready to go... (I use only 1 but 2 is great if you really like banana)
A few shakes of cinnamon 
A few splashes of vanilla 
Heres what you do:
Take all that stuff and put it in a bowl, mix it all up until smooth, then pour some out onto a griddle or pan or whatever you are choosing to heat it up with.  Start with lower heat as they can sneak up on you. Flip them when you start to see bubbles come up on the uncooked side.  (I suggest you practice your flipping skills if your trying to impress the opposite gender.)  I like to cook them on the stove with a traditional pre-seasoned wilderness cast-iron skillet.  This will make about 4 hefty pancakes.  


Now eat up
Let me know how it goes!

Chipotle Chicken Recipe......NOM NOM NOM







Boys and girls, young and old I behold to you a Chipotle restaurant chicken recipe that is darn near close if done correctly.  It has been tweaked, researched (mainly me eating it a lot by itself and youtube, internet searches), but this recipe was taken from a few workers who also share the passion for the holy grail of chicken and my own suggestions! So lets get to cooking so we can all NOM NOM on that smokey spicy chicken.....

Heres What You Need:




  1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (Need 2oz of the juice/peppers)
  2 tablespoons honey (A KEY INGREDIENT) 
  1 teaspoon black pepper
  2 teaspoons cumin powder
  2 tablespoons cilantro
  2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  6 cloves garlic
1/2 red onion, quartered
1/4 cup vegetable oil
  4 chicken breasts or thighs...(the thighs are a little fatty but produce some more flavor) (6 ounces each)

Heres What You Do:
Take all the ingredients that are not chicken and put it in a food processor.  For the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can regulate how spicy you would like it to be by the amount of pepper you put in and the seeds in them. Usually if you just get one pepper in the mix and some of the sauce from the can it works out just fine, but its up to you!  Blend it until its a glorious smooth, puree, marinade.  
Take the marinade and put it over the chicken in a plastic bag and mix it up.  I like to beat the chicken up a little to make it more tender, literally, punch the chicken a bit.  Let the meat sit for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill to about 400 degrees and then cook the chicken until tender.  Put a pinch or two of salt on both sides of the chicken when cooking.   
Cut into squares and your ready to go. 
Remember that the chicken is usually mixed with veggies, cheese, sour cream, rice, beans, so you would be surprised how spicy, and smokey the chicken really is by itself depending on how you make it.  
TRY IT OUT! Enjoy!!!
Any corrections let me know on the recipe!

Egg Muffin "Sam"Wich

Quick, Tasty, and Zesty 


Looking for a quick and filling breakfast option.  
Heres what you need...






2 Eggs
1 English Muffin
1 Slice of Muenster Cheese
Splash of Olive Oil
Guacamole


How to create it:



Put English Muffin in toaster. 
While its toasting, pour a little olive oil into a cereal size bowl and coat the inside.
Put your two eggs in the bowl and scramble for about 20 seconds.  (Olive Oil will keep your eggs from sticking)
Next put the eggs in the microwave and nuke it for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds.  Your eggs will come out fluffy and in a circle shape thanks to the bowl, perfect for the muffin.
Your muffin should be finished, take it out and spread a little guacamole on the top.  Even if you don’t like guacamole, it really brings out the flavors of the cheese and eggs.
Take the eggs out of the bowl when its done and place it on the muffin.
Put a slice of muenster cheese on it. Muenster is a great breakfast cheese as it is creamy and melts super easy.  Not to intense for the morning hours either. 
Then close up the muffin and you have yourself a “Sam”Wich!




Enjoy!
