I just posted a snack but couldn't wait on this recipe...
Dinner tonight is herbed chicken breast and I CAN'T wait for it to be finished cooking.
I mixed a tsp or garlic powder, 2 tsps thyme into 1/4 softened butter.
I trimmed open a pocket by cutting away the skin from the breast then I put two slices inside of the breast itself.
I took the butter on my hand and spread it inside of the pocket and outside on the skin.
I then sprinkled Paprika on the top of the skin.
bake 45-55 mins ( until moist but not pink) on 350 degree oven.
I crisp the skin on 450 for 3-5 mins.
ok, 20 mins left--my mouth is watering!
Yumeee
ENJOY!!!

super yumeee Guacamole and salsa....
It costs a fortune to buy guacamole and salsa premade at the store and its cheap and super easy to make yourself!!
Guacamole
Cut one avocado in half lengthwise.
Pull out seed by gently whacking it with a knife and pulling it out.
Use the knife to cut lengthwise and across making small cubes inside of the avocado.
Use the knife to separate the flesh from the skin into a bowl.
do the same with the other side.
SMALL dice a 1/8 onion and add to avocado.
add 3-4 sprigs of fresh cilantro.
diced 1/2 plum tomato or use 1/2 tsp tomato paste add to avocado.
add 1/2 tsp lemon or lime juice.
mash avocado with fork until its desired texture. I like mild chuckiness.
Salsa
small dice 1/4 onion
dice 3 plum tomatoes
add 3-4 sprigs of cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
extras--you can make it super chucky and add corn kernals and diced pepper. To make it hotter add 1/2-1 small chili pepper (poblano or pepperocini)
Mix together, chill and serve with tortilla chips.
YUMEEE
Enjoy this healthy and delicious snack!
