In the kitchen with Jordan

This year was the first time since she moved out that Jordan has literally asked me to teach her how to make something food-wise. She has asked me for receipes and such before but we have never really spent a lot of time in the kitchen together. She spent more time in the kitchen with me this year, preparing food AND cleaning up than any ever. Thanks Jordan. I miss you tons!

We made fresh Salsa (spicey!) and Guac. The pictures shown are from when I made these recipes right after my sister passed them on to me a few years ago. Fresh tomatoes and no food processor. Jordan likes her salsa a guac a lot less chunky so she used a food processor for making her salsa. It was delicious. She also mashed her avacados a lot more than what is shown in the picture. It was very tasty also.

If I don't find a job soon after my layoff in January, it will be back to making many things from scratch. I kind of miss that anyway. It may be more of a challenge these days since pasta and potatoes are out (James is diabetic). But I just may find some delicious healthier alternatives to those items.
