A Special Thank You to Sarah A and Bonnie for their Fabulous "Show and Teach" Lessons.

Sarah's Amazing Avocado Dip

3 Avocado's (look for the dark color)
3 Roma Tomatoes (Diced)
1 Tbls. Lime Juice
1 tsp. salt


Cut Avocado in half and then in fouths. Remove Pit and peal skin off. Cut up in cubes and put in a bowl. Mash up Avocado. Add diced tomatoes. (Remember when cutting up the tomatoes to use a saw motion on the tomatoes- to keep their shape) (you can also substitute a can of diced tomatoes). Add lime juice and salt. Stir together, using a folding motion so that you do not crush tomatoes. 

Great Job Sarah, I really enjoyed the way you demonstrated how to peal and cut the tomatoes and Avocados. 

Bonnie's Fabulous Nachos

Layer shredded Cheese on a plate
Layer tortilla chips on top of cheese
(continue to add layers till the plate cannot handle any more)


Put plate into the microwave. Check every 30 seconds to see how it melting. When  it has melted enough. Dig In and Enjoy!

What a fantastic Recipe Bonnie! I loved your story about making them for your dad that he gave you a nickname for it! I know that everyone was so excited to go home and make some for themselves.
