Avocado idea and lunch with some cousins!

So my last blog I was asking for ideas of what to do with an avocado... and I found a pretty simple recipe on line. I just took an English muffin and toasted it...

Then mashed up half the avocado and mixed it with some salsa (the avocado didn't mash as well as I wanted it too, it wasn't really ripe enough yet)... then spread it like a paste on the English muffin halves...

Added chopped up onions...

Then added some delicious RAW cheese (aged cheese that is sooo delicious- full fat- my friend Anna would be proud!)...

Then broiled it in the oven for 5 minutes. Then I cut it into little pizza bites for fun- I shared one half of it with Jade. I could have eaten 5 of those halves- but I'm working on portion control so one half.... and it was delicious!!!

Then yesterday my cousin Kimmy called and invited me to lunch, but I didn't get the message till way after lunch time. So she asked about today, and I thought that would be great right after church! So we were meeting at Apple bees at 1pm. I found out later that my cousin Laura invited herself- which I thought was awesome cause I love hanging out with her. Then Kimmy said she was going to try to get Patty to go! No way! And Patty showed up, too!!! I should have called Misty, too, it would have been great to visit with you Misty since I missed Kelsey's amazing party!!! Kimmy said she was going to send the picture to cousin Kristi saying "wish you were here".

Here's Laura and Kimmy...

And Patty and me...

It was funny cause Laura and Patty ordered the same thing, and Kimmy and I ordered the same thing...even down to the salad with blue cheese dressing on the side! Kim and I also ordered our lunches with NO MUSHROOMS- Kim was like "I don't eat mold". Then when they brought our food out... big nasty mushrooms on both our plates- I should of taken a picture of the food- NASTY MUSHROOMS. So they remade our lunches and then said dessert was on the house for us all!!!!

Sweet! So we all got dessert! Check these out... Laura's is on the left and mine is on the right... isn't hers huge compared to mine??? Now on her face book or Kim's it may seem like my dessert was bigger... well maybe it was... but it was sooo gooood!

Here we are all leaving...

So after I totally gorged myself, even after I recommended Apple bees cause they have the "weight watchers" choices on their menus, I felt so full and guilty- cause I did not choose something healthy. I went home and took a nap with Jeromy for about an hour which was awesome.

Then....drum roll... I went to the YMCA and ran 5 miles, I think I burned about 1/3 of the calories I ate for lunch. So I feel a little less guilt LOL

Anyway it was great seeing you all today. Maybe next time Misty and Kristi can be there, too!

What a great weekend, God is good!
