National Margarita Day.

 

 

Apparently it's National Margarita Day. Oh, Happy Day to all of you!

 

And I SOOOOOOOOOOO need one right now. Or 25.

Let's just say it's been a rough day full of snot, tantrums, blood, spills, and whining. More on that later.

 

For now, I will drown my frustrations in the largest vat of margaritas I can manage. (Or not, since I'm nursing and not drinking.)

SOMEONE HAVE ONE FOR ME! :) K, thanks.

 

Fave in 5 - low calorie treat

I've made these for a while now. They are chewy, crunchy, sweet, and salty. Perfect combo, right? Oh, and it doesn't hurt that they are only 55 calories each!

Chewy Chocolatey Apricots

dried apricots
dark chocolate chips
sliced almonds, toasted (you can toast them in the toaster or in a dry pan on the stove, but be careful, they burn fast!)

Melt the dark chocolate chips. (I've had trouble doing it in a double boiler, so I do it in the microwave. Follow the instructions on the bag.)
Dip each apricot halfway into the chocolate, then dip in the almonds. Place on parchment paper and allow to set in refrigerator.

Voila! Little tasty chewies of goodness.

First Fave in 5!

I love to make this for a quick lunch. I usually have all the ingredients in the fridge, it's tasty, and it takes about 2 minutes.

Cheesy Avo-taco

white corn tortillas
shredded Mexican cheese blend
avocado
favorite salsa or hot sauce ( This hot sauce is AMAZEBALLS!!)

Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat.
Place a corn tortilla in the pan, sprinkle a few tablespoons of shredded cheese on top. Heat until cheese is melted.
Remove tortilla from heat, add 1/4 chopped avocado and drizzle with salsa or hot sauce.
Enjoy!

See? That was easy! And it's SO. GOOD. Of course you could add any number of things to jazz it up, like roasted veggies, or eat it just like this.
Sometimes I just eat one.
Sometimes I eat two.
And sometimes I could eat 100, but I don't. Willpower, people. I try to pretend I have some.
