Hello everybody.
Definitely cold these days,crisp wind specially when the sun goes down,best place to be these days is in the car !
Dry white beans are a good option in this case,though I’m not a big fan of it, so I did some avocado dip or kind of guacamole and remember the olives I pickled the other day with veggies and walnuts? well they’re perfectly done now,really yummy with hot bread !

Hello everybody.
Very hot and dusty today,need a cool dish to go with this weather. last night I found this recipe in my WordPress reader written by “ Cooking with a Wallflower” and since I have 2 avocados ripened from last week I thought this will be a good option for lunch.
Upon my youngest son request I made a kind of pizza called Calzone ,cause he bought some chili salami and wants me to make something with them,though I’m not in the mood to bake in this hot weather,but I kneaded a small dough,made half filled with salami,cheese,oregano and tomato paste then closed it like a pie and filled the other half with chocolate and bananas,will be a good dessert in the afternoon.
Ingredients and method for the pasta:
* 1 pack spagetti.
* 2 ripe avocados.
* 2 cloves garlic.
* 2 tablespoons yogurt.
* bunch of fresh basil.
* cherry tomatoes.
* Parmesan cheese.
* some sun dried tomatoes (optional).
* cook pasta as directed.
* mash avocados with salt,pepper and yogurt.
* chop garlic,basil leaves and tomatoes.
* just before serving toss all ingredients with the pasta and sprinkle with the cheese.
* As for the Calzone,knead a pizza dough then spread it and add filling then close it , you can use various kinds of fillings of veggies or cheeses or chocolate 🙂
Enjoy .

* one big ripe chopped tomato.
* olive oil,salt,pepper.
* heat oil then saute garlic.
* add beans,salt and pepper cook till tender.

Avocado:
*2 ripe tender avocados.

* chopped tomatoes,mint leaves,paprika for garnish on top.
* peel and mash avocados then mix with tahini sauce.

Light tasty colorful lunch,only sin is you eat too much bread without knowing it 🙂
Hello again.
Today I have enough food from yesterday . So I have no intention to cook, but I have one avocado that I put inside the rice to ripen. I’d better do it before it becomes black.
You simply mash the avocado add salt, lemon, 1 big spoon yoghurt and 1 spoon tahini.
Mix well then decorate with chopped tomatoes and mint leaves.
Enjoy♡
