OK, you got me! I know, I haven't posted in a while, but I have good excuses!
Between work, bootcamp, volleyball (did I mention I'm playing beach volleyball and it is the absolute most fun. Ever.), trip planning, work on a special project (more on this coming soon) and thinking about the three weddings I'm attending this year I've barely got the time to sleep. So there you have it.
I did manage to have a girls night a couple weeks a go and we accidently went crazy! But I would say on healthy stuff! Besides guacamole the host made a delicious vegan spinach/artichoke dip. It was baked in the oven for a little so it was nice and warm when served. She also made the most amazing vegan chocolate mousse that I have ever had and served it with red berries. I will have to bug her for the recipe and share it. It was very simple and only had three ingredients. Tofu, dark chocolate and maple syrup. Oh man. My mouth is watering now.
I brought a mango/avocado salsa! I modified the recipe from something Fit Chicks posted because they love cilantro. I hate cilantro. I did not wanna go near the stuff.
Anyway, this salsa is super easy:
1 Mango, cubed
1/2 Avocado, cubed
1/4 Red Pepper, diced
1/4 Orange Pepper, diced
1/2 Red Onion, diced
Juice from Half a Lime
Mix it all up and your good to go! The amount of the ingredients isn't written in stone either, add more of what you like! I do suggest you get a very ripe mango, the juicer the better!
We ate all of our treats with whole wheat pita, blue corn chips and those long thin yummy crackers you find in the bakery section, I forget what they are called.
All in all I think it was a pretty great night! I still dream about that chocolate mousse.
