Creamed Spinach (Protest Kitchen)

Hi everyone! This week I tried my first recipe from a new book/cookbook that my sister got for me: Protest Kitchen by Carol J. Adams and Virginia Messina.

I made the creamed spinach, which was super simple and super delicious (I had it as a dip with bagel chips). I made notes of all the other recipes I want to try, so you can look forward to seeing more Protest Kitchen food here in the future.

Cringer takes her turn at the top of the cat tower; she was a little annoyed that I interrupted her bird-watching to get a pic, haha! 

Peace. :)

Guacamole

Hello on the 4th day of the Vegan Month of Food!  I mentioned making guacamole yesterday, so here's my post about it as promised.  I used this Basic Guacamole Recipe as a starting point.

"Hmmm, you used a recipe?"

However, I am very stubborn and rarely follow recipes exactly, and this was no exception.  I made it without the lemon juice (since I didn't have any), just used garlic salt instead of garlic powder and salt, and left out the optional cayenne, etc.

"Close enough."

Guacamole 

So, the ingredients I used were as follows:

--1 avocado

--1/4 cup salsa

--1/4 tsp garlic salt

Cut open the avocado and scoop out the "meat" of it, mashing it up in a bowl, then add the salsa and garlic salt, mix together, and enjoy your guacamole with tortilla chips, potato chips, or any other snacks you like to have with a dip. 

Well, I'm off to do some cleaning and straightening up around the house; my Uncle Mark is stopping by early before the camping trip he's going on with my dad and his friends this weekend, so we'll be talking about recipes and about writing, and hopefully (if it's dry enough) Zach and I will be able to take him disc-golfing.

Peace.  :)
