Wholy Guacamole
Avocados. They are quite amazing. Even more amazing than avocados, guacamole. Making your own guacamole may seem a little intimidating, however, it’s way more simple than you think!

Veggie “Fried” Quinoa and Wild Rice
Fried rice was once upon a time one of my favorite dishes at Chinese restaurants. As I’ve gotten older, maybe wiser, I don’t really eat out at these types of restaurants anymore.

Pepper-Tomato-Bean Salad
It’s kind of spring already!! For some reason, I totally crave foods based on the weather and the season (even though in Tahoe it is supposed to snow this week…).
