Mango Guacamole - So Good!

We always cruise the salsa and guacamole at Whole Foods before picking up our produce. I thought I'd grab a container of the mango guac until I saw the price, $6.00. Seriously? 6 bucks for a small teeny container of mango guacamole, come on!!

I refuse to pay that for something I could watch Anthony take down in 3 bites (he could too). I made my own version tonight, I just took the ingredient list from their package and went from there. Tastes the same to me (probably better) and at a fraction of the cost , and enough for the entire family!

3 Avocados
2 On the Vine Tomatoes
1 Mango
1 Lime Juiced
Cilantro - to taste
Kosher / Sea Salt - to taste

Mash the avocados with a fork (I like mine a bit chunky). Dice tomatoes and mango, throw in. Squeeze in lime juice. Mix. Add cilantro and salt to taste. Mix and chill. Serve with the Red Hot Blues by Garden of Eden for a lil spice.

Pfff.. 6 bucks

Watermelon Sorbet - No Maker Needed!

I found a few tricks to being prego and happy over the summer; make sure to stay active, fit and most importantly.. cool. Air conditioning doesn't always do the trick for me and I find that I have to chill from the inside out. I also scored a "new" ice cream making while garage sale-ing one weekend and ventured into ice cream making. Most ice cream recipes are rich, heavy and loaded with sugar and fat, not exactly what I'm looking for in this heat. Don't get me wrong, a scoop here or there is marvelous, just not something that I want to weigh down with during a hot summer day. Thus began my quest for sugar free, healthy alternatives. I stumbled across this blog and the Sugar Free Watermelon Sorbet recipe and haven't stopped making it.

I currently have 3 ziploc bags of chopped watermelon hanging out in the freezer so that I can make this in a jiffy, trust me, once you try this you will too!

This is the most refreshing, perfectly sweet sorbet and of course super easy to make. Enjoy!

(I use 1/2 the amount of honey and if I use Agave a bit less than what's listed)
